    Everything is so narcissistic, hypocritical and pretentious, and the writing, directing, and acting are full of self-righteous and smug smarts. Maybe the film isn't too bad, but it's definitely disgusting. There are bad movies that are likable and there are so-called good movies that are...

    Gold medal screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is directing for the first time, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favorites. But the film seems to play with structure so much that the themes are confusing. Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Samantha Morton alternately play some of the important female roles, which is the most logically confusing part of the...

    Watching this film on the train is definitely not a good viewing experience, because Kaufman, who has become enlightened, is trying to deconstruct all the meanings of drama, creation, and life in a surreal way. More obscure, I feel more and more that Kaufman is awesome, but also very sad and...

    Is this a movie that can be described as a masterpiece? How can I give five stars? Is five star too low? I don't have any words to describe it except the ultimate masterpiece. I feel that in front of such a movie, any language seems so poor. Its information is so daunting, its ambition is so unsurpassed, its meaning is so extraordinary, and yet it looks so smooth, without the slightest stumbling, heartbreakingly simple and honest. There are countless ways to interpret it, but it is too simple...

    The work that goes hand in hand with Birdman, the director's brain hole is really big, building a miniature New York City in an abandoned warehouse, it should be about mid-life crisis and loneliness, using a time jump, it is incomprehensible , maybe only the director himself can understand it? It seems absurd, but in fact it expresses the illusory nature of life. It is really a stroke of magic, and perhaps loneliness is indeed a good medicine. 5...

Synecdoche, New York quotes

  • Sammy Barnathan: I don't have a resume, or a picture. I've never worked as an actor.

    Caden Cotard: Good. Tell me why you're here.

    Sammy Barnathan: Well I've been... I've been following you for twenty years. So I knew about this audition because I follow you. And I've learned everything about you by following you. So hire me. And you'll see who you truly are. Peek-a-boo. Okay... Hazel, I don't think we need to talk to anyone else, this guy has me down. I'm going to cast him right now. And then maybe you and I can get a drink and we can try and figure out this thing between us. Why I cried... Because I've never felt about anybody the way I feel about you. And I want to fuck you until we merge into a Chimera, a mythical beast of penis and vagina, eternally fused, two pairs of eyes that look only at each other, and lips, ever touching, and one voice that whispers to itself.

    Caden Cotard: Okay. You got the part.

  • Caden Cotard: I know how to do the play now. It will all take place over the course of one day. And that day will be the day before you died. That day was the happiest day of my life. Then I'll be able to live it forever. See you soon.
