Synecdoche, NY

I watched 'Synecdoche, NY' the other night and I liked it very much. It has stuck in my dreams and made them strange. I thought it was a powerful film. It feels like the movie is really doing what entertainment is supposed to do. That is, being cathartic. I was very impressed with it because I felt like it was cathartic for the writer to write it(Charlie Kaufman), it was cathartic for the director to direct it(also Charlie Kaufman), it was cathartic for the actors to act in it and it was cathartic for the viewer to watch it. That's quite a feat and very much makes me feel that Charlie Kaufman really put a lot of himself in the film, all the actors did also. Philip Seymour Hoffman shined in it. It is a great movie.
