very frustrating movie

More and more tasks, more and more complicated plots, and lines that have been very twisted, it is really a difficult movie to understand.
A middle-aged stage director, in crisis, has a rift with the artist's wife, the more you love someone, the more disappointed you will be with him, the wife leaves without saying goodbye, life is not satisfactory, and the relationship with other women is ambiguous, With the development of the plot, to an inexplicable point, the constant pursuit of the first daughter has become a nightmare. To direct a large-scale play, put everything in life on the stage, everyone, every place, even yourself, the final play is like life, life is like a play, and all living beings are turned upside down, in a word, very condescending! ! !

Synecdoche, New York quotes

  • Sammy Barnathan: I've watched you forever, Caden, but you've never really looked at anyone other than yourself. So watch me. Watch my heart break. Watch me jump. Watch me learn that after death there's nothing. There's no more watching. There's no more following. No love. Say goodbye to Hazel for me. And say it to yourself, too. None of us has much time.

  • [over radio]

    Millicent Weems: What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone's everyone. So you are Adele, Hazel, Claire, Olive. You are Ellen. All her meager sadnesses are yours; all her loneliness; the gray, straw-like hair; her red raw hands. It's yours. It is time for you to understand this.

    Millicent Weems: Walk.

    Millicent Weems: As the people who adore you stop adoring you; as they die; as they move on; as you shed them; as you shed your beauty; your youth; as the world forgets you; as you recognize your transience; as you begin to lose your characteristics one by one; as you learn there is no-one watching you, and there never was, you think only about driving - not coming from any place; not arriving any place. Just driving, counting off time. Now you are here, at 7:43. Now you are here, at 7:44. Now you are...

    Millicent Weems: Gone.
