Synecdoche, New York

"Oh hey, a Charlie Kaufman movie about a writer whose sad, I say reductively. Honestly, one of those movies that punches you in the gut if you watch it in the right mindframe. It was my 30th birthday not too long ago and the quiet contemplation of that fact has been getting to me. So, this movie about the passage of time and life and death hit me pretty hard"

" Metonymy is a figure of speech in which a concept is referred to by the name of something closely associated with that thing or concept. Synecdoche ( sih-NEK-də-kee) is a type of metonymy; it is a figure of speech in which a term for a part of something is used to refer to the whole. This movie is a gutpunch from within. The most Meta U-inverse masterpiece from the genius mind of Charlie Kaufman. Watch it, then watch this: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs13oSKi_qiuwDIYaQROhJr1FjNyN751Y&si=oIkzjTxKgdwQ7Byu then watch the movie again!🤯"

"Kauffman really dials up the meta in this one, and Jon Brion nails the perfect tone with soundtrack. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was an incredible talent."

"Depressing asf"

"I feel like this film isn't talked about nearly enough. It focuses on a broader topic, life; and does an incredible job at showing the threads that make up who we are and the connections we make (and subsequently lose) in life"

"Wild film. Perfect when you’re looking for a heady movie that’s unlike anything else you’ve seen (unless you’re a Charlie Kaufman junkie)"
