Synecdoche, NY

OK, well I made the 4pm showing at Lakemark guild 45th. Let me say that this movie I wasn't really expecting to enjoy. For some reason I thought I was in for some extremely low budget film that would resemble one of our super slow films to test my ability of boredom. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the in depth story and saw time was measured in our time of living. Charlie's life was one that was running out, so all his dreams and fears of life were contracting quickly. Death and how we all cope with it I feel is the message of the movie. How nobody wants to die, because we are so interested in building our lives. But this movie makes you remember your only one person with your interests of life and in the movie you see numerous life stories that you relate to, and realize their interests too. The older you get the quicker time goes by, and all the little things add up like the divorce and losing his child. The building of the film. Death is a funny thing because were all different, when death presents itself then deep reflection becomes relevant. Time is the one resource that we'll never control in the long-run. Overall great film, more than I wanted to pay, but great.
