Anomalisa, Charlie Kaufman's play name you never need to delve into, just like Synecdoche before, I believe that few people know this word, know what it means, and know how to pronounce it. If you try hard to discover the title and the meaning in the play, you will be robbed by the title given by the director, you will lose your first impression of watching the play, and you will be led to the direction of the title. In fact, the director hopes that every After reading it personally, there are different substitutions and opinions. This play talks about midlife crisis, tired of family life, achieved certain achievements in work but a little lonely, remembering the last ten years ago without saying goodbye, ten years later, it seems that I want to get back my old passion, but I also want to live up to the occasion. Get off the rails responsibly and relax your tense nerves...if you have the above symptoms, sorry, you may have a mental illness called fregoli, the symptoms are that you will feel like everyone you face except the most important person It's all the same, the same voice. This is why the protagonist meets Lisa, the passengers on the plane, the taxi driver, the hotel receptionist, the front desk, and the bar waiter are all the same face, both men and women have the same voice, even the wife and son at home are not spared. It will be found here that the protagonist suffers from severe mental anxiety until he meets Lisa. But after spending one night with Lisa, I slowly discovered some of Lisa's bad habits the next morning, and the protagonist had a heart attack again. Lisa's voice and appearance slowly changed to that of a passerby, so it wasn't Lisa who was abnormal. but the protagonist. Back home, the director lays a foreshadowing to make you think that Lisa never existed, but this is deliberately just to resonate with another audience, but I tend to believe that Lisa really exists, and there are indeed some people and things in reality that make you return to your old enthusiasm , but living numbly for a long time makes all fresh things have a very short shelf life. If you choose to change, it seems that it will cause a lot of blow to everything now. In this case, you can only go home as usual and watch Familiar and unfamiliar faces, this is what Charlie Kaufman wants to say about the midlife crisis.
