Anxiety Genius

From "Brain Change", "Orchid Thief" to "Ace Enemy", the talented screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has never let me down. The latest director's work "New York Ukiyo-e" (Damn! It's been a while since the film was released, and I only bought it last Sunday at an audio-visual rental store near Fuxing South Road that rents and sells films) The texture is still wonderful, and the characters are interspersed. The detours, the cross-flow of the gaps in time and space, and the clever game traps fascinate me everywhere, but once faced with the heavy metaphor of death and fate, it seems that the method is too sculpted. The prosperous city in the head of a genius, and the life of anxiety in the head of a genius is really not something ordinary people can understand!

Caden Cotard: I breathe your name on every exhalation.

Caden Cotard: I won't settle for anything less than the brutal truth. Brutal. Brutal. Each day I'll hand you a paper, it'll 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.
Needleman Actor: Caden?
Caden Cotard: What?
Needleman Actor: When are we gonna get an audience in here? It's been seventeen years.
Caden Cotard: All right, I'm not excusing myself from this either. I will have someone play me, to delve into the murky, cowardly depths of my lonely, fucked-up being. And he'll get notes too, and those notes will correspond to the notes I truly receive every day from my god! Get to work!
