      Some thoughts written at the front of the article:
      I think that any analysis and comment on a film like "New York Synonymy" with cosmic care, coexistence of evil spirit and aura is probably insufficient . A film with mixed reviews, for those who like it, there is too much material to analyze, but for those who hate it, the movie is probably not as real as the little person at the end of the credits. To be...

      What is your life burning for?

      "The Dark Law of New York" is another brain-burning movie after "Mulholland Drive", which is a profound philosophical reflection on life. There are too many details, so I didn't go into each one of them carefully.

      Watching this movie, I found that I was the same person as Haydn. Haydn's struggle is his own struggle. Haydn's loneliness is also his own loneliness. We think about how to realize our own values ​​and think about what is going on in our...

      Caden rehearses a scene, he gives out each actor a small piece of paper and then ask them to follow the instructions on the paper written by himself. He says that “each day I will hand you a paper. It will tell you what happened to you that day. You felt a lump in your breast. You looked at your wife and saw a stranger, et cetera,” (Synecdoche New York 01:02:26–01:02:32). In this way, seventeen years have passed, and the play still keeps on rehearsing. Those actors begin to...

      cloudy moon

      Charlie Kaufman, it can be said that he is a genius screenwriter. Not many people in Hollywood deserve this title, but he deserves it.
      The problem is, after seeing so many Kaufmans, none of them brought me to tears. Even if he recited over and over again about death, loneliness, and life in my ears with fresh and powerful words, and with gorgeous replacement flips, I still couldn't be moved.
      Maybe you should look at Kaufman from a different angle, yes, unmatched in terms of...

      loneliness, helplessness, death and nothingness

      I read New York Synonyms again today. The first time I saw it, I liked this movie very much, and I sighed that Kaufman is really a genius. After knowing the ending, watching from the first act made me realize the intention of more details. Synonymy is a rhetorical device that uses parts to refer to the subject, just like in the movie, the male protagonist Caden's life is represented by fragments of his life. From which I saw his loneliness, helplessness, pain and fear of...

      Very boring and selfish. Away from the audience, freewheeling, self-deconstructing, with numerous metaphors. Life is like a drama, drama is like life. Acting and anti-acting, staged and experimental films. It shows the creator's self-imagination, intoxication, reflection and pain of the work. The consequence of being a screenwriter as a director is that the theme is too large, and there is too much to express, so that the film is too textual and the visual display effect is not good. Reminds me...

      Waking up from a dream, the radio was playing Rilke's poems. The little girl is doing green shit. Open the newspaper and Pinter is dead or won a Nobel Prize. Broken head by a tap. On the night of the premiere, female fans want to have a car shock with you. If you drink alcohol, you will become impotent. In the fire house, the woman who is on fire and you who is extinguished. Impotence with or without alcohol. Wife ran away, won the MacArthur Award and bonus. The fourth wall, when to build and...

    The plot of "Synecdoche New York" continues Charlie Kaufman's curious but caring style. The film analyzes a creator's various thoughts about inner desires, the true meaning of life, and life by using the method of play in play. It is quite a tribute to Fellini's "Eight and a half" and Truffau's "Night and Day"   . Although Kaufman stuffed too many things in "Synecdoche New York", it didn't seem complicated. Several actors in the film...

They said he said a lot of things, too many to recount, and they said it was the longest and the saddest deathbed speech any of them had ever heard.

    • Sammy Barnathan: Why did we leave Adele, Caden?

      Caden Cotard: She left us. Nobody knows that better than you. Except me.
