What the fuck did I just watch?No seriously.I enjoyed it, the acting is good, the woman is amazing but was there like a point or a motive I'm not seeing besides "normal pair bonding is good"
movie for artsy fartsy fags
>>217045244marry and reproduce
>>217045244>What the fuck did I just watch?Kino>but was there like a point or motiveThe entire movie is basically the imagination of a 4chan robot who's about to commit suicide
I like this movie and Synechdoche a lot, they're like dreams and visually and thematically are really cool. It's a shame charlie isn't a draw on the silverberg screen. I tried to read his book Antkind, you get 400 pages in and it's like "ENOUGH". He needs and editor, he is definitely a screenwriter.
>>217045372Antkind is a maximalist novel, it definitely did not need an editor. Kaufman was writing as part of a time-honored literary tradition and does not suffer badly in the comparison.
>>217045244It's about the janitor
>>217045549I'm a massive /lit/fag who likes maximalist novels. Charlie is not a novelist. The book sucks. If you want to read something competent read Gaddis
>>217045594Steven Moore please get off 4chan
>>217045644have you read the rcognitions or JR? JR is fucking incredible dude, it's so funny and Gaddis is so good at voicing that he can do 700 pages of unattributed dialogue. The Recognitions isn't as fun but it's so good. You need to read Gaddis bro.
>>217045753Yes Dr. Moore I know who William Gaddis is
*Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series
>>217045778Thank you Anon, this made me feel normal again.
>>217045773So no, you haven't read JR. I don't know who you're referencing to cope with being an ignorant retard who won't read but that's clearly what you're doing. Charlie's book sucks ass and is 300 pages too long.
>>217045829>I don't know who you're referencingSteven Moore is the most prominent literary scholar on Gaddis' work, who you should read instead of acting like an overly emotional woman and trying to get into an argument.I will not discuss this any further with you.
I've never seen this movie because I won't pay for Netflix and there's no home media release I can buy. Piracy is immoral.I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that I'll never see it.
>>217045994>Piracy is immoral.It's normal.
>>217045994There's physical FYC copies out there you could purchase
>>217046038You wouldn't donwload a car
I just watched the FoundFlix explenation. It kicked in my balls.Basically, kill your media and internet addiction and go out and ask out girls or you will become a loner.
>>217046132>go out and ask out girlsI did this, got rejected and became a loner. The instruction manual doesn't say what I'm supposed to do here
>>217046087why are you assuming i would not download a car? fuck you
Discussion of Kaufman movies on /tv/ is difficult because people on this website are too insincere to actually look at the mirror his films hold up to the audience
>>217046132I tried this and found out women are all annoying, stupid, and self-centered.
>>217046611Find one who likes reading and is smart like the girl in the movie.
>>217045244It's a fantasy of the janitor before he kills himself. It's that simple.
>>217045994Im gonna pirate some stuff today just to spite you.
>>217046956I don't remember him killing himself. The end is a nice nobel lecture musical.
>>217048245Speedwatcher
The point of the movie is that it's all a story being told in the head of a janitorHe's such a loser that even in the story he imagines he's a loserHe reflects upon his life via the fictional story and eventually kills himself. It's a very good movie. The first time I watched it I didn't even really see how prominent the Janitor was early on, on later viewings, it's very obvious.
>>217046611Enjoy becoming like the Janitor then.
>>217046956Actually, it's core message is that if you put off your own life for long enough, you risk ending up just like the janitor.
Kaufman hates jannies so much he made a movie just to shit on themIt even includes abstract elements of YOU WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN.
>I'm thinking /of/ ending thingsWhy is "of" italicized?
>>217048305I guess I just didn't know that he froze to death, I thought he was just having some sort of schizo moment.
>>217045901>you should read some retarded guy who wrote about reading the actual authorit's incredible what people will do instead of just reading a gaddis book
>>217048534>even in the story he imagines he's a loser I interpreted this as him slowly coming to the realization he's such a loser IRL that not even his reassuring daydreams can comfort him.
>>217046087I tried to download a Tesla but when I looked in my garage it was a Fiat mini
The Janitor looks like Dennis Prager
I liked the movie better than the book. There, I said it.The book had a lot of needless and obfuscating shit like the janitor slithering across the floor. I think the movie could have toned down the Oklahoma component, but the dance at the end is pure kino
Do Girls like that exist irl? All the women I meet are garbage.
>>217051355What is the woman like?
>>217045244>Films about suicide>Everyone loves them
>>217051255The writer of the book is okay, not great. I read his follow up Foe and it was really just an episode of Twilight zone that wouldn't have made the cut>Married couple>One of them gets cloned so the original can get sent to space>Do we really KNOW the people we live with? >Nope! >Please clap
>>217045244It's about a poor lost soul who summoned a succubus. An alternative explanation is that it's about a tulpa.
>>217048601I will....AND I'll do it for free
>>217051538Was this girl the succubus
>>217052502There's a high probability.
Everything in the movie was explained, you just had to pay attention
>>217045244Basicall "being a lonely loser is actually YOUR fault and maybe if you weren't such a FREAK you could have anormal life like everybody else".
>>217045337Not really a 4chan robot, the guy is literally a male feminist personified, even in his very own day dream his imaginary waifu accuses him of being a creep and leaves him
>>217054056Sounds like a 4chan robot to me
>>217051255I thought the way he killed himself in the book was better than depicted in the movie, but overall I thought the movie was better too.
>>217045244Don't waste your life.
>>217051538It's about a guy having daydreams, that's it.
The lonely janitor is fantasizing about the story while he's working by himself alone after wasting his life.
>>217053767That's a big book
>>217046296>too insincere to actually look at the mirrornot everyone is a melancholic pseud
>>217059031But you clearly are, since you used the word "melancholic" rather than "depressed" or even "mopey".
This is my "literally me" movie.
>>217045316This, but unironically.
>>217059059
>>217059100For me it was Adaptation.
seems like a scary movie to watch, i dont think itd do anything for me, but I dont like depressive movies where the message is "be better" or "be different". you dont be. you are.i think i saw the tv glow was similar, and i barely think about it ever again because its too simple.
>>217059152It's not telling anyone to better, it's just showing how some people are.
>>217059185i dont think theres any point to that really.
>>217059217It's just a movie, man. If you bothered to come into a thread about it, might as well watch it.
>>217045244im so sick of female leads
>>217059031>>217046296I'm antisemitic and do not like the subversion or propaganda/social messaging.
>>217046956>>217059267 samefaggingI am 5 minutes in and already hate the woman lmao
>>217059282>antisemiticPretty irrelevant, Kaufman is banished from the tribe due to being too human and soulful for them.>subversionHe doesn't subvert.>propaganda/social messagingHe does not propagate for any view or send political messages. His stories are about people, their insecurities, anxieties and troubles communicating.t. unironic and unpaid Kaufman shill
>>217045244We are all going to die so i do not know do something with your life
>>217059318>He does not propagate for any view or send political messages. His stories are about people, their insecurities, anxieties and troubles communicating.so typical jerw thinking? It's just Larry David but he's being 1000% sincere. and its fucking gay and cringe.
>>217059594Please just take your meds, go touch grass, talk to a girl.
>>217045372I loved Antkind the first two times I read it and then I tried to read it again and I think I can sort of see it through the eyes of people who didn't like it now.But I still think it's great.
>>217059616lol kid, I'm mexican. we have kids and get married young BEACUSE we dont have deep neurotic thoughts about sabotaging the relationships we're in because its >le deep. Youre so fucking stupid lol.
>>217060220
>>217060558>you're supposed to be sad and neurotic nooooooooooooooo???
>>217060220You guys also cheat on and kill each other at an astonishing rate
>>217060220This isn't the own you think it is. Africans and Indians also shit out kids and get married without thinking. Their societies have not flourished because of it.
There has to be another layer than just the Janitor's daydream, the girl is too fleshed out to just be a Tulpa.
>>217045244>I'm not seeing besides "normal pair bonding is good"how do you even understand cooking instructions?
>>217059318>Kaufman is banished from the tribeYet they still fund his movies despite the fact they make $0.
>>217061179>Yet they still fund his moviesBut they don't, After the War had to stop production. He can't get movies made anymore.
>>217061066>>217060924>diving for neurotic jew slopbro just take the L. American women are the lowest of the fucking low at the moment. You need to fix this
>>217061159If the Janny pair bonded normally and wasn't a pussy and actually asked girls out then he wouldn't be in that situation.
>>217061281Why are you on an American website instead of with your family?
>>217061296pendejo? I spent the entire holidays with la familia, why do you bring up a computer website cause your women are dogshit at the moment? also>3amstraight pendejo
>>217061281Beaners are so fucking dumb it's unreal
>>217061326Watch out boys this guy knows three words in spanish
>>217062477timothy mad cause he had a step dad lol.
>>217062836Hubcap market is at an all time high amigo the streets of houston need you
My ex girlfriend saw this, shortly after left me and is now a janitor at a school in the middle of nowhere. Life is funny sometimes
>>217063040nah I'll take the $30k ICE bonus they're throwing at people lmao with my bachelors (paid by you btw) my recruiter was also an esl too lolhope this helps
>>21706330330k? Nice! That's usually like four years of work for you guys
>>217045244Suicide is le good.
>>217051040quit using limewire dumbass
On of the more Jewish movies of all time
>>217064013>White people should pairbond in a healthy way (without social media) to not become loners.>JewishHow. How is pro white natalism Jewish.
>>217063541>amerimcmutt cant readdamn no wonder homeland security is hiring mexicans more than whites lol
>>217064046All of his movies are the same retard. It's as if the director is stressing the inevitability of these fabricated "modern" issues. Go watch Anomilisa and tell me by the end you don't wanna say "get over it faggot".>inb4 b-b-ut thats what he intendedLying. Cunt.
>>217045549>Antkindi also read a few hundred pages and got tiredlike a modern day Confederacy of Dunces, but in a way so was Adaptationhis self-critique shtick is getting a little old, and agreed he needs someone to reign him in
>>217064046How the fuck did you get white pair bonding out of a neurotic jew abandoning his maladaptive daydreaming only as he was about to die.Pure shit vision and ideology.
>>217064380It's hard to take seriously because you just sound like the typical thick fingered brown kid on twitter larping to take the pain away
>>217045994KWAB
>>217064580you sound like some neet typical 4chan chud who spazzed out over an objective truth about the virtuosity of American women being at very low point, in a thread that highlights that very problem. Keep projecting though to "take the pain away" kek. Imagine still trying that in the big 26, that's a dead giveaway of being desperate.
>>217045244Jesse Plimmons character had dementia. He was thinking back but remembered it differently each time. That's all.
>>217064638Looks like I hit a nerve there huh
>>217046296I've tried to talk about Synecdoche New York here many times over the years, but this place has become totally overrun with fucking idiots.
>>217064652No, he was blending a life time of scenario building in his head.
>>217064676Can play bingo with these responses lol.
>>217045244>I'm Thinking of Ending Things>Sometimes I Think About DyingWhich one of these movies is better and how similar are they?
>>217064679What's there to discuss. Seriously? Don't waste time, there, saved you 2 hours.
>>217064561Because it's a cautionary tale of what happens if you don't go out and ask girls out, you moron.
>>217064732It's pseud garbage, as his other movies, Anomilisa was his worst. Hell, Marty was a better "cautionary tale" of not asking a girl out.
He's just like me
>>217064732You dont need some jew to tell you that and youre fucked in the head if you think the point of this mess was to tell white people that or that white people care to watch a jews schizo episode to reach that conclusion.
>>217064799Anon it was literally the point, the speech of the girl before him when he was cleaning up was him overthinking and overanalyzing stuff, and he chickened out, year after year.
>>217064948>him overthinking and overanalyzing stuffLike Larry David stuff? Woody Allen? So typical jew behavior, right? Get a fucking grip.
>>217065035That's BAD behavior. Yes it's neurotic Jew behavior. And it's spelled out as being bad.
>>217064679Was /tv/ ever good? I'm sure there's a reason I started coming here, just not sure what that reason might've been
>>217065056Wrong. So many young couples think that they HAVE to argue cause it makes relationships healthy, the garbage of "red flags" and cringe dating vetting of being neurotic. They think it's the norm or even comedic.
>>217065100Baneposting
>>217065140Im talking about the scene where he imagines what goes on when he approaches women. So he is cockblocking himself.
>>217051355The point of the movie is that she's not real. It's his idealized version of a perfect woman.
>>217065100I come here because I like movies and want to discuss them. I am consistently disappointed by the quality of discussion, but there's nowhere else to go.
>>217046160the cheat code is to ask girls out before you care enough to want to ask the girl out.
>>217046160Neil Strauss Rules Of The Game is the instruction manual here.
>>217045244I'm sure there was "like a point".
>>217055491A 4chan robot would imagine an anime waifu, not a strong independent woman that lectures you about your fragile masculinity
>>217060220>thinking is jewish subversionwoah...
>>217064638>who spazzed out over an objective truth about the virtuosity of American women being at very low point, in a thread that highlights that very problem. Keep projecting though to "take the pain away" kek.holy fucking esl
