i dont understand this
>>219822732You aren’t depressed enough then. It’s kino.
I dropped it after like ten minutes I think they’re like having breakfast or something with PSH
>>219822732PSH is ACTING! I'm so glad that he's dead
>>219822732Everything sucks. That's it.
Jewish neuroticism is difficult sometimes.
>>219822763Imagine getting worked by Big Dimes Phil KWAB .Should have been you that died.
Critics shit on this movie but I think it’s amazing it’s been awhile since I watched it though
I watched this movie and then I died
>>219822751>>219822772weird. i really loved being john malkovich and eternal sunshine and the depressing shit spoke to me but this move... i just dont know whats going on
>>219822732Artsy fartsy shite
>>219822844You gotta be in a very particular mindset for this one
>>219822805He's dead and your his 12 year old fangirl. You should have died with him.
You have to be Jewish to understand
>>219822879You're already KWABOTY. You can stop trying now.
>>219822911No u Keep crying
>>219822732It's just very entertaining even if you don't try to understand it. If you wanna "understand" something beyond that, google it or something. Ask chatGPT maybe.
>>219822948Huh what u mean
>>219822815They do? It's one of the best movies ever made and I thought critics loved Kaufman.
>>219822911KWABOATKill yourself to see your idol again.
>>219822985>google it or something. Ask chatGPT maybe.i usually look for directors commentary and read wikipediabut this movie has me so confused and i genuinely cant find good stuff about it, thats why i made the threadalso fuck the clankers, they just make shit up
>>219823028Bit esoteric
>>219823089It's about life, time and decay mainly. OK?
secular jewish nihilism nothing matters and your going to die
>>219822732I could understand hating synecdoche, but it always baffles me that people claim to not understand it, as if it’s some form impossible puzzle that can’t be solved? Everything it is try to tell you it is very on the nose about. They explain what the house is. The priest gives the fucking speech at the funeral. Which part did you not get? The fact that it’s about how you’re going to ruin your few chances at happiness, squander your youth and then spend the next 40, 50, 60 years just withering away until you finally die alone and unloved?
It’s about a man wanting to create a great piece of art that captures the essence of the human experience. It’s symbolic of all art and the ambition of all artists. However, the protagonist in this story is incredibly disconnected from humanity and others, while at the same time being self absorbed. This results in him being unable to create this great art, and instead he is trapped in this endless rabbit hole of introspection and dreaming. It’s a statement on art itself. That your art can become a prison if you don’t understand yourself.

>>219822732NOW IM PAYING 200 A MONTH TO RENT AN APARTMENT IN FUCKING SCHENECTADY!
>>219823511>>219823540I’m genuinely asking, what didn’t you get?
>>219822732sadness and regret the movie
>>219822732This movie is very kino but i don't ever want to watch it again, any other kinos like that?
>>219823364This
>>219823364This. I would add, it's about the state of art in the 2000s. That book "the end of history" is rightly mocked today, but there's a reason the title was compelling at the time: western culture is problem-oriented. The same could probably be said for all masculinity, that it exists as a response to a difficult and dangerous world, but especially European and near east culture is all about conquering adversity. The next ocean, the next mountain, the next enemy. The conquest of the Americas was undoubtedly the beginning of the end for that mentality because the earth was no longer infinite, enemies were no longer infinite, and the eternally stalemated war to dominate Europe was going to end. American geography solved the problem of Europe by superseding it, only a few wars were necessary to convince everyone that the USA rivaled all Europe in strength. Then it became a question of what the American superman would do, fine, he fought communism and went to space. Now what? Enter 9/11 and this movie. Maybe we'll just sit here, rot, and make art about how awkward we feel.
>>219822763kek
>>219825063Anything with a surprise ending
>>219825063I felt similarly about enter the void, but my experience with that movie was on 4 grams of shrooms. not sure if it has quite the resonance sober or not, because I’m never watching it again
>>219825350>The conquest of the Americas was undoubtedly the beginning of the end for that mentality because the earth was no longer infinite, enemies were no longer infiniteThe American experiment was the culmination of all western Europe's ideals and ultimately what's left to do but stagnate?
>>219825487that's also a great movie that I never want to watch again.
>>219823364This. Also, he began with himself as the focal point of the interpretation of the world, unfortunately his worldview and personality and life are a shitty representation of the experience of life. Accurate representation (of his experience of life), but he also leads a shitty life and has a shitty worldview, so this is what his work refracts. Extremely neurotic, passive, self-obsessed. Sounds like someone that would build a warehouse-sized 1:1 scale of the city he lives in to depict his replication of (his) interpretation of (his) reality. Also a film about solipsism. It's a great film and brilliant, but not exactly a fun movie.
>>219825581Ask China I hear their imperial scientists have been working on that one for 3000 years
>>219825715Based take.
I like synecdoche for the same reason I like Lars von trier movies
>>219822732Nowadays movies are so bad you can't even process what you're truly watching, but there was a time and a place where this was the worst movie ever.
>>219822732Don't worry YMS AKAK Dogfucker did two two hour videos on youtube about it.
>>219826746truly kaufmannesque
>>219822732The name is a subtle joke
>>219826746Can someone do a video that summarizes his video essay? Something brief, I'm not watching more than 10 hours.
>>219822732I just realized the guy who plays the priest in the funeral scene is the same guy who played Peter Gregory on Silicon Valley.
>>219827659didn't this guy die shortly after making the movie?
>>219827703He died before the second season of Silicon Valley (so five years after Synecdoche). It was sad, I wanted to see more of him and his character's rivalry with Gavin Belson.
>>219822732I understood it but it wasn't really for me. It was one of those movies where I got the point of it really early, and then nothing was particularly interesting or surprising afterwards. Visually it was spectacular and the acting was great but it was hard to care about anything that was happening.
It's depression kino with a splash of some jokes
ITT: plebs get filtered
>>219826112I don't know if it was intentional but Kiefer Sutherland is so fucking funny in this movie
>>219822732It's for rich shitfuckers with way too much money and time, normal people can't understand le ennui.
>>219828074>>I understood it but it wasn't really for me. It was one of those movies where I got the point of it really early, and then nothing was particularly interesting or surprising afterwards.So explain then.
>>219828074>I got the point of it really early onYou didn’t finish the movie, did you?
>>219828178The ending was boring as shit, it should have had a kickass ending like in Adaptation.It's a simple fact Kaufman has become, or perhaps always has been, a hack.
Why did that one chick not just call the fire department?
>>219825487It’s still good sober but it’s also still great to watch on LSD or weed
We're all gonna die Synecdoche
I love this movie, my favorite kaufman movie. The scene where caden's daughter makes him admit to being gay and doesn't even forgive him is one of the funniest moments of all time
>>219830656amazing scene
>>219822732dude just needed some good exercise. we all die but he was all dramatic about it. if youre going to be self absorbed, do it right.
>>219822732existentialism>just find your own meaning bro>not in Christianity, though
>>219822762I'm ashamed to say that this movie made me glad PSH was dead
>>219825487I watched it high on some juiced up weed with a dude that was literally the weird arab looking friend, myself being somewhat asianit was a bad tripand then I found out this is all that director can make movies about
