Synecdoche, New York

sineddoche come metafora esistenziale; come rappresentazione spazio-temporale. opera totale, determinata e determinante. synecdoche è la perfetta rappresentazione di come l'uomo nel suo interiore ed esteriore viva, in maniera critica, le sue riflessioni e cerchi di dare un senso a qualcosa che forse non si ha. il mondo in cui viviamo è qualcosa di irrazionale, dove noi per la maggior parte del tempo a trascorrere esperienze ''assurde'', non conoscendoti mai pienamente (e forse a volte è qualcun altro a conoscerci meglio di noi stessi), trascorrendo le nostre routine nell'ignoranza e nel... read more

charlie kaufman writes mindfucks. this time he has not only written but directed this mindfuck. not surprisingly then that this film is the biggest mindfuck he has created so far. it defies explanation. it is to hard to even attempt to describe. do i recommend it? if you like kaufman, like hoffman and like movies that are mindfucks then hell yeah i recommend it. not the best in kaufman's oeuvre but still pretty good. slow, methodical and leaves you thinking. it's a great if unconventionally odd film. 83/100 **on a side note, phillip seymour hoffman goes through this movie saying things like... read more

we're all hurtling towards death. yet here we are for the moment, alive. each of us knowing we're gonna die, each of us secretly believing we won't when will we die, can we find a meaning if we were god, what happens if the world falls without us finding redemption first, how will we hold up if our loved ones die before us, what if we figure it out too late, what if there is nothing after we jump. synecdoche new york is a film that wants you to feel bad not because it's wrong to feel bad, but because there is relief when you do so. we follow mr caden through his creative processes of trying... read more

la primera película de charlie kaufman. y sí, es muy kaufman. la trama principal de esta pelicula podría tratarse de un biopic sobre el personaje de caden, un director teatral, con dificultad de poder llevar su obra basado en él mismo. pero lo mas interesante viene en como esta obra se funde en su propia vida, incluso formando parte de ella retroalimentandose. la vida dentro de una obra de teatro o un teatro dentro de su propia vida. su propia vida real se nos configura también con una mirada surrealista aunque sin perder el realismo o al menos la forma en que nos hace sentir. puede ser... read more

I don't know what to say. This is the most bizarre film watching experience I have ever had in my mind. I definitely have an idea of what was going on in this film but it is far from a clear idea. Despite that, I could tell this movie is just brimming with meaning that I'll eventually get out of it. This is the most precise movie I've ever seen in my life, not a single decision made wasn't planned it feels like. This movie hit me real hard in the 2nd half. It's going to take a LONG time to piece all of this together. Definitely going to rewatch this movie many, many times. read more

everything is more complicated than you think. you only see a tenth of what is true. there are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. but maybe you wont know for twenty years. and you may never ever trace it to its source. and you only get one chance to play it out. just try and figure out your own divorce. and they say there is no fate, but there is: its what you create. and even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. most of your time is spent being dead or... read more

how lovely could it be to create and direct a play about your life, your world while it is happening. this is the premise of this beautiful film. it may not be perfect, it may be better, but i think that having seen it at the right time in my life, it has touched me. it talks about everything that goes around in my head; how relative is time, how much effort we invest in interpreting roles in our lives, as sometimes these roles end up controlling us, how much time we waste trying to improve what we do, without obtaining any satisfactory results. how many times do we make mistakes, how many... read more

It's difficult to write anything about the film without ruining the experience of watching the story unfold. To call it complex and unique would actually be underselling its masterful construction. The movie is mostly about sadness, death, missed opportunities, regret and ultimately the small amount of time we are actually alive in this world. It's long, direct, unblinking look into existential nihilism and how time moves along so quickly, that we're mostly just along for the ride, watching our lives play out around us. read more
