>lives with parents then by himself after they die>no friends>no girlfriend>make-do job (co-workers think he's odd but nice enough)>spends his free time watching movies alone and fantasizing about having a better lifeIs this a good movie?
>>203656799This is not something women do.
>>203656799That's a man?
Nice visuals and really surreal as most Kaufman movies are, the musical ending was retarded, but I prefer the book.
>>203656799Some anons are just pigs filled with maggots, simple as
It's an extremely simplified version of Synecdoche New York. Few people understood that movie, so he took a single plot thread and made another movie from it, and of course people reacted way more positively to it. It's okay, but it's completely redundant if you've seen Synecdoche.
>>203656818The twist is the woman isn't the one having the fantasy
>>203656799>Is this a good movie?it's not a movie it's a futurementary of my life
>>203656818>>203656826 it's a lonely old janny daydreaming about the life he could've had with a girl he met as a younger man but didn't have the courage to say anything to, he's imagining everything play out from her POV because you get the idea he's had similar fantasies 1000 times already and he's judging himself through her eyes
Unironically, the most life changing movie for me, it hit me really fucking hard. It really motivated me to get my ass up, things are much much better now.
>>203657514synecdoche fucking sucks made me hate writers for awhile
>>203657851not really, it is a Jewish movie about a neurotic effeminate self-hating loser faggot, true, but it's also really fucking smart, funny and (sadly) relatableI wish I didn't like it, and I generally hate post-modernistic BS, but I can't help recognizing just how fucking good it isyou're probably just a massive dimwit normie lucky you!
>>203656799>watch movie with new gf after a decade of being the janitor>get to the twist>instantly get quiet and in my own head>”did you not like the movie, anon”
>>203657851I think you might be filtered lil buddy
I'm 100% sure I will end like this, and maybe then I will care, but know I don't.
>>203657975>>203658057it's pretty pathetic that so many people think they can flex their patheticness as some kind of superior wisdom. unfortunately you'll never be capable of telling the difference. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>203657514>few people understoodI get it's overwhelming but it's not hard to understand>>203657851I'm not a fan of doormat protags but I thought the movie was well crafted and PSH really sold it
>>203657514arent all his movies about daydreaming losers?
>>203656799make-do is not make-work
>I'm just a little person, one person in a sea Charlie Kaufman really tests my patience sometimes, but damn if he doesn't bring it home every time.
Who's your Kaufmanfu?
>>203656829>but I prefer the book Same. I'm glad I read it first. Would've been even angrier at the movie without this added context. It encouraged me to try reading the source material before watching a film adaptation moving forward.
>>203660896Synecdoche was shit anon, Michel Gondry was the genius all along
>>203661822You are a woman
>>203661857I am not, I'm just not a pretentious film snob who rates films higher the more droning and needlessly convoluted they are.
>>203662068You are definitely a woman.
>>203661822Eternal Sunshine is shit though.
>>203656799i watched this two years ago after just breaking up with my gf and being in my late 30s. Wew, what a horrible time. I've since adopted a better outlook.
>>203662183Is it though?
>>203659704Literally Every. Single. One.
>>203662098I fail to see what point you're trying to make here.
>>203656799It made me want to kill myself even more than I usually do
>>203663965Even... MORE??
>>203657851Lmao
Its this super sad and trippy combo, you won't get a vibe like that from anything else. Its pretty special
watching movies like this after you ruined your life is uncomfortable. I get it I fucked up stop rubbing it in.
All of you are females in male bodies. The things you say and the way you think is effeminate and embarrassing.
>>203665078Suck it up, buttercup. Own your truth.
>>203665161?
>>203656799first twenty sumn minutes in the car almost bored me to tears, 2/5 stars
>>203665161Yeah I'm a faggot and love sucking cock and wearing cute stuff.almost forgot
>>203665161whatever
>>203665161uguu
>>203662212That's great to hear anon, I hope the two of you parted ways on good terms.
>>203665161and that gives you power over me?
this movie came out during the covid quarantine, i already feel like i wasn't doing much then this movie goes OOHHH YOU'LL GET LIKE THE MC BEING A FAILURE, yeah, what do you expect, i can't do shit because of a boomer illness
>>203656976The use of mixed media was p cool, more films should try that
>>203656799demoralization propaganda slop
>>203665161kek someones not in touch with their feminine sidenow excuse me im gonna go suffocate in my moms smothering mountains
>>203657684I think part of the reason hes imagining it from her perspective is because his self perception is so low he can't even be the protagonist of his own fantasy
>>203656799when you put it like that, no. It's not.
>>203661822she ruined the generation of women that inspired ramona flowers who in turn ruined another generation of women.
Am I alone in finding Toni Collette weirdly attractive? Been keeping an eye on her ever since I saw Hereditary.
>>203656818they do but then you say it's for attention.
>>203671465She has a kid, so no; you're probably not alone.
>>203672545Fellas, what does girl ass taste like?
>>203656799Going into this movie blind fucked me up. Is this what anons with AGP go through?
>>203656818I need to measure your IQ real quick. How would you feel if you hadn't had breakfast this morning?

>>203657514This is a book adaption.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Thinking_of_Ending_Things_(novel)
>>203673701>movie where a guy imagines himself as someone else>movie where a woman reminisces about her real childhoodI don't get it
>>203673727I'm in the wrong thread.I'm a very tired young lad.
>>203670326it's actually just because it's more interesting
Kaufman always reminds me of this Orson Welles quote about Woody Allen. His work is totally masturbatory. For some reason a lot of Jews think their personal neuroses are the most interesting thing in the world.
>>203673959I find his depictions of social anxiety relatable. Rarely do I feel as seen as I do when watching a Kaufman movie.Therefore, by the rules of the current year, he must be good, because representation is the most important task of a film.
>>203661181The redheaded waitress from Human Nature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f46H6Gmwv6U&t=119s
>>203673959Who's more insufferable, Dan Harmon or Charlie Kaufman?
>>203656799Kaufman is the king of midwits
>>203675043Charlie Kaufman is easily worse. Dan Harmon is basically just a Joss Whedon type who is making slop to entertain people. Watch any interview with Kaufman for 30 seconds and you can tell the guy thinks he's God's gift to cinema.
>>203657851Based.
>>203675476>and you can tell the guy thinks he's God's gift to cinema. Isn't he?
>>203662212As a late thirties fella who lives constantly in past relationships, I am going to kill myself.
>>203673041Pennies
>>203675638pussy that's the cheater's way out. you should try living your life to the fullest instead
>>203675921You're right.
>>203675921what does that mean
