She had some nice milkers. Great movie too. Used to be my number 1 favorite. Crazy how it can simulate the kaleidoscopic pain of someone’s entire adult lifetime in the span of a single movie.
>Pretend, when we're faeries we fight each other, and I say "Stop hitting me I'll die!" And you hit me again and I say, "Now I have to die." And then you say, "But I'll miss you." And I say, "But I have to. And you'll have to wait a million years to see me again. And I'll be put in a box, and all I'll need is a tiny glass of water and lots of tiny pieces of pizza and the box will have wings like an airplane." And you'll ask, "Where will it take you?" "Home." I say.
I'm in my 30's now and have my own kids and there's something about that whole little monologue that hits hard. It's the sort of charming nonsense that kids tend to spew, that if you perceive it from the right emotional angle has a depth to it that may or may not exist. Ultimately, it's the realisation that they will grow old. I was never scared of death and have always been accepting of the fact that I will die, but through their existence I have come to understand fear. Fear of loss.
I'm sorry I brought you into this world Imogen. I only hope I can help you deal with it better than I did.
>decide to re watch this movie >gonna pay really close attention and really pick up on everything this time >still get lost
this movie is super cool but man, its just maybe a little too abstract.
I don’t see what there is to not understand, it’s trippy but pretty straightforward I thought. Is it the stuff that starts happening after the warehouse that you get lost with?
NTA but the part where he's trans and gay and he's the cleaning lady and she's the projection of a character who's never shown was kind of confusing. It fit with the flow of the story but I'd be lying if I said the meaning was obvious.
What helps me with super abstract shit is to focus on the extremes. Either focus on it all as being "in world" or all as a metaphor, getting lost in between makes it more difficult to parse
Weird experience with this movie. Saw it for the first time when i was maybe 18 or 19, thought it was a complete masterpiece, saw it again years later when i was like 30, thought it was super pretentious and boring. Kind of wished i hadn't seen it again.

To the degree he actually was trans, it just seemed like the final extent of suffering and dissipation of all purpose
You're arguing with a chud, don't bother. He probably didn't even watch it anyway. Also nice digits
I've been killing it this thread. For some reason, when the board is slow digits seem to come more frequently. How can that be?
I guess when you make a higher percentage of the overall posts, you get more funny numbers? mathgays please help
I almost didn't want to post and break my streak
yeah this movie tries too hard. it works on vulnerable impressionable (young) people but kaufman's bag of tricks and hostile intent towards the audience is more transparent for viewers with more life experience.
You say tries too hard, but I enjoy that it just goes full force into everything. Usually people say it's pseud or 2deep4u but I think it's pretty straightforward, it's a movie that makes you think about life and make you feel like shit.
Might be my favorite movie tbh, but I need to rewatch it to see if it holds up
whatever suits you, there's already plenty in real life already to make me feel like shit enough, no need for a flight of fancy movie from a miserable neurotic to pile on top of it.
Schenectady a song completely left out of the movie, outside of the very start where the daughter sings a version of it, is also a really great song.
There's a place I long to be
A certain town that's dear to me
Home to Mohawks and GE
It's called Schenectady
I was born there, and I'll die there
My first home I hope to buy there
Have a kid or at least try there
Sweet Schenectady
And when I'm married, and when I'm dead
Upstate worms will eat my head
For every person that you know
Once you'll say goodbye and go
Think you'll see them soon, then no
You won't see them again
There's always a last time
That you'll see everyone
There's always a never again
One of the only movies to make me cry like a little b***h. But I was 19 when I saw it and staring antidepressants so my emotions were fricked at the time.
I always saw it that way too. Also the nightmare of being an artist, and just being haunted by your creations that never help you become happier, but that actually make your life worse and worse the more your create.

That’s a sweet sentiment anon, but like the other anon said you should just hang out with her as much as you can.
I don't remember who said it, it might have been Kaufman himself, but someone described it as a horror movie for Hollywood israelites. Like more of a terrifying movie concept than Schindler's List.
I found this to be more of a comedy than anything else. Do people actually takes scenes like his father’s funeral seriously and think it’s played straight?
Humor and sadness can sometimes go hand in hand. Absurdity can be responded to with many different emotions. The varying tones allow the viewer the freedom to immerse themselves in the aspects that they find sad or funny, rather than being railroaded into an emotional response.
She had some nice milkers. Great movie too. Used to be my number 1 favorite. Crazy how it can simulate the kaleidoscopic pain of someone’s entire adult lifetime in the span of a single movie.
Really? It just made me want to kill myself after
It’s incredibly depressing yeah, but I found the psychedelic surreality of it very entertaining as well.
>incredibly depressing
>psychedelic surreality
so every Kaufman kino
What’s your new #1? I’mma guess Jean de Florette
Nah, my taste has changed a lot in my adulthood, if I were to pick a number one it would be a Kobayashi movie like Harakiri or Kwaidan.
>when he has to pre-cry by putting drops into his eyes
kafkaesque
One of the movies this actually applies. Some others (by someone other than Kaufman)
>Brazil
>The Trial
>Beau Is Afraid
I’ve been meaning to watch Brazil recently. Enjoyed Gilliam’s other films like Holy Grail and Fear & Loathing
When I first finished watching Brazil I was sat dumbfounded on my couch because it was one of the best films I'd ever seen
>kaufkaesque
>kaufmanesque
heh
why did it bomb bros
>OLIVE, IT’S DADDY…
>OLIVE, IT’S DADDY!!!
how did kaufman know every mans daughter would become a tattooed prostitute
Does Kaufman have any children?
The whole story with Olive made me wanna kms

Jesus anon stay frosty, go spend some time with her.
stop shitposting at work mike or at least telegram me
His daughter getting totally fricked up mentally by his ex wife and her lesbian gf was so ahead of its time.
Best portrayal of the daughter-experience in film.
>decide to re watch this movie
>gonna pay really close attention and really pick up on everything this time

You see, the poop in green because Olive represents life and youth being destroyed by the dumb adults around her.

Fricking amazing, iconic, classic soundtrack to this movie too.
They don’t make them like this anymore
Little Person is such a great song. If I put on a playlist sometimes it comes on and completely ruins my day.
Schenectady a song completely left out of the movie, outside of the very start where the daughter sings a version of it, is also a really great song.

troony movie, kys

i liked the scene where she is walking through the smoking house
The constantly burning house is one of my favorite parts of this shitshow.
rewatched about a month ago. gets kinda boring around the warehouse but still enjoyed it as a whole
peak pseudery
One of the only movies to make me cry like a little b***h. But I was 19 when I saw it and staring antidepressants so my emotions were fricked at the time.
This movie is horror movie. The scariest horror movie for ordinary man and there's no resolution at the end.
I always saw it that way too. Also the nightmare of being an artist, and just being haunted by your creations that never help you become happier, but that actually make your life worse and worse the more your create.

The resolution is
>die.
funny how his second daughter seems completely irrelevant to him
Same with his whole second/third wife and everything. His heartbreak left him unable to love as much as when his life was normal in the beginning.
why was her shit green?
answer me dammit
Hoffman was the best actor of his generation. Really wish we could've kept seeing him in films.
Shit, pointless movie that ruined her career.
That's a man init?
Only when she shaves her head.
Why didn't she just call the fire department?
>THE END IS BUILT INTO THE BEGINNING
>holy fricking shit i'm such a good writer
This but unironically. The funeral sermon was top tier kino and nobody will convince me otherwise
where is this from?
moral orel
I found this to be more of a comedy than anything else. Do people actually takes scenes like his father’s funeral seriously and think it’s played straight?

He blew bis brains out in the bathroom when he woke up. The whole movie is a DMT trip some sort of purgatory
