Synecdoche New York

Anyone see this movie.

Really out there, David Lynchesque type movie, with 2 of the best in the business Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Catherine Keener.

I was deeply affected by this movie, had tears in my eyes at the end, just completely blown away.

Couldnt tell you the meaning of it, but it was brilliant

That was one where I left the theater thinking that the director was definitely smarter than me and I admit it. That is also where I thought, hmmm... so that's what happens when Charlie Kaufman has total control and is allowed to do whatever he wants on a project.
I liked it though, for sure.

that was my thinking as well.
can't say i truly 'liked' it tho. i think a lot of the ideas were present in his other films, and better presented, more cohesive...and maybe him being left to his own devices isn't such a good thing? :P haha. what utter star power in that flick: hoffman, keener, watson, morton......fantastic cast! i really thought it was a bit wasted tho. sure, it touched me to a degree....but yea, it was just so disjointed, that i don't think it effected me nearly as much, or as well, as it could've with perhaps a bit more restraint, and yea....at least 30 minutes less screentime..... i truly wanted to love it b/c it had so many of my fave actors, but yea.....
