Synecdoche, New York - Sammy's heart breaks

[stevensonhk]

i have watched this movie for over 100 times

[questionsleadtotruth]

This movie is an interactive experience. An experience that changes every time you watch it. It asks so much of you because you are constantly changing everyday. This movie changes along with you as you grow and learn more about yourself. This movie isn't a movie. It's. Art.

Best American movie I've seen since Lynch's Mulloholand Drive

it's 8 1/2, the director falling apart version. 8 1/2 Fragged. i love this film.

[z0tx]

Such a strong movie

[herrkrikke]

love is watching someone die

[rebelwithoutacar]

@herrkrikke So who's going to watch you die?

[JustSomePerson888]

@herrkrikke - i'm pretty sure that's more like hate, if you ask anyone that kills for fun what some of the best parts of that 'hobby' are - they often say the watching them die part

"There are nearly 13 million people in the world. Can you imagine that many people? And none of those people is an extra. They're all leads into their own stories."

One of the best/underrated movie quotes of all time.

[williamblakeism]

How can people not understand this film? As beautiful a masterpiece as it is, it's certainly not hard to grasp. It's not supposed to be a headfuck, it's supposed to make a point about our countless persona's and being lost within your life.

"You struggle into life and slip slowly out of it"

[QuantumRuslan]

This is one of the greatest movies of all time. It's about life, death, artistic struggles, meaning of life, it's about everything. The only movie that it can be compared to is 8 1/2 by Fellini. I can't believe how little attention it got when it was released, then again I shouldn't be that surprised.

[meterspecialist]

@QuantumRuslan It always reminded me of 8 1/2, too. So, so beautiful.

[LiamCrowley1990]

@QuantumRuslan Is that a summary of what critics have said about this film or your actual opinion though?

[QuantumRuslan]

@LiamCrowley1990 That's my opinion, of course. However, keep in mind that whatever critics say is also just an opinion. There is no such thing as the best movie ever or the best music ever. Judging the work of art is always subjective.

[LiamCrowley1990]

@QuantumRuslan Just asking because everything you said I've read it columns. And I know, I don't like how some people think films actually have ranks.

[OliviaTheGeek]

Every time I watch this I sob :( one of the greatest films i've ever seen

[spaz9i2]

the song makes my heart break.

[MattDLD333]

It is almost if he got stuck in a moment in his life. A moment that he can never get obtain again. This movie is so obtuse...I have had to watch it at least five times to soak it all in.

DON'T JUMP SAMMY!!!!!!! DON'T JUMP SDJDSHJSHDJSDHJDHDH%^$%BBDS**(

HE DIDN'T JUMP YOU IDIOT SAMMY!!!!

[Finntroll]

this movie is so important it makes me want to set up mass showings of it from a projector in the middle of a public park free of admission charge. the only problem is the cops shutting me down for displaying pornography in public. pigs.

[mecantbreakdance]

this is a great scene, but i gotta say my favorite is the faux funeral scene where the preacher makes a speech

[mistersuko]

isnt sammy the same actor like the one in woody allens "whatever works"?

[CorruptBox]

@mistersuko No, that's Larry David. 

[borrachoconpiojos100]

once it´s over it´s over.

nothing more to learn, watch, follow, love, hate,want,dream, in few words to live for.

we can live our lives wandering about life or dead, or we can just live our lives, like they are, one in a life time.

[downoteof]

I quote this movie at least once a week! I really do love this movie and think that it IS a masterpiece in its own right. Scenes like this one make me grin ear to ear, it just has such a profound message in it.

[HalloweenEve1030]

this is a heavy movie im still trying to figure it out

[Finntroll]

@HalloweenEve1030

whatever you don't understand, ask, im pretty sure i have the whole movie figured out

[spaz9i2]

@Finntroll What does the burning house represent?

[Finntroll]

@spaz9i2

that i can only guess, but i think the fact that Hazel had the balls to purchase a house that was burning down represents her optimism towards life and inevitable death, contrasting Caden's pessimistic and colossally negative representation of his own death. Also I think Hazel kept the whole play alive with her optimism, whereas once Caden successfully slept in the same bed as her, suddenly, all the smoke rushes into her lungs, and then the entire play goes downhill.

[serraios]

@Finntroll I disagree. I think the hint is given in the priest's speech where he says that every second you make a choice that can destroy your life and it can take 20 years to figure this out. So in my viewing Hazel didn't know that she was buying a burning house, but she was in buying this particular house she was in fact making a choice to die in a a house burned down by fire because it wasn't built on regulations/was defective.

[bleda555BC]

@Finntroll Hey could you help me out? I have most of the movie understood, I've watched it pretty closely 3 times now. I didn't understand most of it the first go, but i didn't care because it is so emotionally engaging. anyways, i am curious to find out any possible meaning would be behind the quote, "everyone's tattooed!" spoken by claire to caden

[Finntroll]

@bleda555BC lol, no you're not. and if you are then you're putting pointless strain on your brain. try watching Being John Malkovich, i'd love to hear the questions you'll have after that one

[bleda555BC]

@Finntroll Of course i've seen being john malkovich. great movie. as with most kaufman's, he has a lot of symbolism that i like to figure out. "everyone's tattooed" is one that i cant quite make any correlation with.

[bleda555BC]

Watch my heart break, watch me jump.

"I didn't jump, Sammy."

[StandardofPurity]

I love this god damn movie

[johnjohn302]

don`t like the film but this is a beautiful scene

[MMVGCT]

this is the dumbest shit ever!

[OliviaTheGeek]

@MMVGCT you are joking right? Its an amazing scene, and a beautiful film; one of the most amazing ever made.

[MMVGCT]

@OliviaTheGeek  Are you joking!!!!!

[OliviaTheGeek]

@MMVGCT of course not.

[sarsamshaw]

@OliviaTheGeek this is a smart beautiful film 

[OliviaTheGeek]

@sarsamshaw you sir (i'm assuming you're a sir, sorry if i'm wrong) are both wonderful and correct :)

[gothicNightwishFan]

@MMVGCT ........ you're only saying that because you don't understand it!

[MrEmeraldisle12]

Couldn't have done better meself

[WeRGod]

Thanks for uploading this. Agreed - this is one of my favorite scenes. The scene with Olive's diary entry about her childhood memories (box with wings) is a pretty powerful one, too... along with the scene immediately following (no spoilers here).
