Synecdoche, New York

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é mais ou menos e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, phillip seymour Hoffman fez uma atuação boa, mas isso não melhorou o filme e nem alavancou para deixar o filme bom, o filme também não tem cenas relevantes que possam fazer o filme ser bom, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme, mas o phillip seymour fez o filme não ser ruim, mas o filme é fraco.

It is of course a well achieved movie, but it is depressing, confusing, tedious and boring. I think the idea is interesting, but it could only appeal to someone who has not figured out a few things about life and consciousness yet. I believe it tries to represent the mystery of life and finding one's purpose, but it is just the life of anyone who is under the imaginary laws of modern society.

A sometimes haunting and horrifying study of mortality, Synecdoche, New York shows all of Charlie Kaufman's strengths in a beautifully ambitious way. Though Phillip Seymour Hoffman has a great performance in this, the real star of the film is Kaufman's enthralling writing and entirely unique surrealist ideas and his perfectly cold direction. This is a haunting epic that won't be leaving my head anytime soon, and a must-watch for any Kaufman fans.

A very unique and hypnotic deconstruction of the artistic projection that so many storytellers attempt to find meaning and specialty from their lives into their fictional work, highlighted by the character’s life becoming directionless and therefore his play becomes directionless as the passage of time blurs the line, his health declines, and his passions & personal connections slowly fade away. It’s a very tedious and incoherent movie, but that’s the point to get across how disappointing life can feel sometimes when our lifelong hurdles still challenge us years later. It’s a challenging film to watch, but I was never lost on the main themes of the story or the emotions of the characters. You get a real feel for the characters’ depression and existential anxieties. How everything you once love and what made you feel special can often slowly erode away from the sands of time. It’s far from my favorite Charlie Kaufman film, but it’s easily his most ambitious, devastating, and self-reflective piece of work (even more than Adaptation!). I don’t exactly have a huge desire to rewatch it out of entertainment value, but certainly for another dissection at this man’s shattered psyche of human and artistic purpose when we’re given such a short timespan here on Earth.

As close to a perfect film as a film can get.

Though this film is incredibly well acted, I am personally not a big fan of it. I love Charlie Kaufman's writing. Adaptation is one of my all-time favorite films. As his career progressed, his films seemed to get more and more abstract. This one in particular had such a melancholy nature, it just did not appeal to me. I just couldn't connect with it. I love films that are abstract, so long as I have some kind of connection to the material or if I can somehow make sense of it. It seems to me that Charlie Kaufman has taken his abstractions too far, almost for the sake of it. Like, the intention is more so to be weird and different than to tell a real story. That's just my opinion. I don't find this film to be some brilliant allegory. I do find meaning to the film, I just find it to be unnecessarily abstract for effect. Again, I am just not a fan nor do I consider this picture to be great. Personally, I hate this film. There is just nothing for me to like about it. I do, on the other hand, appreciate the film. I would still recommend it to others. 72/100

The struggle for life of a director abandoned by his wife and children is interesting

excellent peace of art

I am very happy that the movie shows us the steps and choices that are necessary in the life of a great person. I like the movie.

Tediously, melancholically torturous, but that’s always been Charlie Kauffman’s aim, focusing on bloomy realism in his directorial debut after writing previous existential crises that manifested into a complex, heavy-handed discourse. Whilst deepens as poetically depressing and agreeably well-performed, the thematic confrontation genuinely struggles to connect, which therefore dissuades little enjoyment down to none besides artistic admiration.
