The concept of 2D

When will I die?
Just a sad kind of fun..I saw "Jakob the Liar" a few days ago.. Robin Williams in a role which is of some what different complexion. The comic side of the movie runs quite close to sadness. The movie though starts with a voiceover.."Hitler goes to a fortune-teller and asks, "When will I die?" And the fortune-teller replies, "On a Jewish holiday." Hitler then asks, "How do you know that?" And she replies, "Any day you die will be a Jewish holiday."
and so the movie begins..
and so the movie begins..
Synecdoche, Newyork
Charlie Kaufman is a torchbearer when it comes to screenplays. I have seen adaptation and Being John Malkovich. Both of them brilliant. Adaptation is my favorite of the two.
His latest film.. is Synecdoche, Newyork... read an equally brilliant review by Roger Ebert. Here it is..
Here is how it happens. We find something we want to do, if we are lucky, or something we need to do, if we are like most people. We use it as a way to obtain food, shelter, clothing, mates, comfort, a first folio of Shakespeare, model airplanes, American Girl dolls, a handful of rice, sex, solitude, a trip to Venice, Nikes, drinking water, plastic surgery, child care, dogs, medicine, education, cars, spiritual solace -- whatever we think we need. To do this, we enact the role we call "me," trying to brand ourselves as a person who can and should obtain these things.
In the process, we place the people in our lives into compartments and define how they should behave to our advantage. Because we cannot force them to follow our desires, we deal with projections of them created in our minds. But they will be contrary and have wills of their own. Eventually new projections of us are dealing with new projections of them. Sometimes versions of ourselves disagree. We succumb to temptation -- but, oh, father, what else was I gonna do? I feel like hell. I repent. I'll do it again.
Hold that trajectory in mind and let it interact with age, discouragement, greater wisdom and more uncertainty. You will understand what "Synecdoche, New York" is trying to say about the life of Caden Cotard and the lives in his lives.
