Oh my.
I love Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP), but I found Synecdoche, New York to be sooo incredibly anti-interesting in its multiple layers of ironically unironic self-indulgence that I really truly hated the film.
I have never had such a strongly negative reaction to any other movie. I'm having trouble thinking of a somehwat-close second. Maybe Blue Velvet?
If I heard someone else say that, I'd imagine that they had missed something, or just didn't "get it", but I don't think that's the case! :)
- kimchidude 3y agoWow I love both Synecdoche and Blue Velvet! What didn’t you like about Blue Velvet?
- quesera 3y agoThe first revulsion that leaps to mind is Dennis Hopper and the gas mask rape scene. There are others, but it's been a while, and my memories of it are mercifully fading. I prefer to not interfere with that process! If the goal of art is to induce thought and make an impression, these are both successful projects. :)
