@memeween yeah i completely agree! synecdoche is such a weird one though cos i find that everything i love i immediately find criticism for and , everything i don’t like i find a way of justifying. but this can only be a good and interesting thing i think! and also is probably just the case for a film that is about the process of creating art.

fab, i will check out adaptation this weekend!

i find the more i talk about something the less i like it. i should just say “yes it moved me immensely despite charlie kaufmann’s narcissism” rather than “x was good but this is why i can’t commit to that thought” lol! also i haven’t seen Adaptation!! fake fan! i probably should watch adaptation before i make comments on kaufman’s ego. also are charlie kaufman and philip kaufman related?

@tomwingfields synecdoche is DIFFFICULT— i do think it is so so fantastic and i really love watching it and i cry a lot (it’s probably just psh though). and i love ~death as man’s final creation~ (i wrote my dissertation on it!) but here death doesn’t even feel salvational(?) for him? and for me it just feels so hopeless and narcissistic (nothing new) and self-deprecating of kaufman. his chaotic ego is just kind of repulsive to me i dunno? like , no, this great work didn’t happen because you couldn’t make it happen because it exists above your ego ! but i’m not a writer/artist/performer etc so maybe i just can’t relate to wanting to create something so badly…. that being said i do enjoy watching it a lot and the ending “their meagre sadness is yours” floors me completely and philip’s final lines are ASTOUNDING. also i DO KNOW that whoever cast emily watson and samantha morton as EACH OTHER has their third eye wide open.
