You 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

>>219822732
PSH is ACTING! I'm so glad that he's dead

>>219822732
Everything sucks. That's it.

Jewish neuroticism is difficult sometimes.

>>219822763
Imagine 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
>>219822772
weird. 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

>>219822732
Artsy fartsy shite

You gotta be in a very particular mindset for this one

>>219822805
He's dead and your his 12 year old fangirl. You should have died with him.

You have to be Jewish to understand

>>219822879
You're already KWABOTY. You can stop trying now.

>>219822911
No u
Keep crying

>>219822732
It'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.

>>219822948
Huh what u mean

>>219822815
They do? It's one of the best movies ever made and I thought critics loved Kaufman.

>>219822911

Kill yourself to see your idol again.

>>219822985
>google it or something. Ask chatGPT maybe.
i usually look for directors commentary and read wikipedia
but this movie has me so confused and i genuinely cant find good stuff about it, thats why i made the thread

also fuck the clankers, they just make shit up

>>219823028
Bit esoteric

>>219823089
It's about life, time and decay mainly. OK?

secular jewish nihilism nothing matters and your going to die

>>219822732
I 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.

sadness and regret the movie

This movie is very kino but i don't ever want to watch it again, any other kinos like that?

>>219823364
This

>>219823364
This. 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.

Anything with a surprise ending

>>219825063
I 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 infinite
The American experiment was the culmination of all western Europe's ideals and ultimately what's left to do but stagnate?

>>219825487
that's also a great movie that I never want to watch again.

>>219823364
This. 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.

I like synecdoche for the same reason I like Lars von trier movies

>>219822732
Nowadays 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.

>>219822732
Don't worry YMS AKAK Dogfucker did two two hour videos on youtube about it.

>>219826746
truly kaufmannesque

>>219822732

Can someone do a video that summarizes his video essay? Something brief, I'm not watching more than 10 hours.

I just realized the guy who plays the priest in the funeral scene is the same guy who played Peter Gregory on Silicon Valley.

>>219827659
didn't this guy die shortly after making the movie?

>>219827703
He 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.

>>219822732
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. 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

I don't know if it was intentional but Kiefer Sutherland is so fucking funny in this movie

>>219822732
It's for rich shitfuckers with way too much money and time, normal people can't understand le ennui.

So explain then.

>>219828074
>I got the point of it really early on
You didn’t finish the movie, did you?

>>219828178
The 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?

>>219825487
It’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

>>219830656
amazing scene

>>219822732
dude 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.

>>219822732
existentialism
>just find your own meaning bro
>not in Christianity, though

>>219822762
I'm ashamed to say that this movie made me glad PSH was dead

>>219825487
I watched it high on some juiced up weed with a dude that was literally the weird arab looking friend, myself being somewhat asian
it was a bad trip
and then I found out this is all that director can make movies about
