In Reply to: "Synechdoche, New York," you'll love this film if listening posted by tinear on November 30, 2008 at 17:58:28:
...I'm guessing you either missed stuff or you just don't like this *kind* of film. Given the degree of self-awareness and intelligence that prevails in Kaufmann's work I would seriously doubt that "We're all going to die--- yet, we still have to go on living" would have been written without irony. That is, he probably intended it as a line people would recognize as a cliche and intended an additional dimension of meaning. For example, he could have intended it as a comment on the superficiality of the character who said it. When I see the film I may have a clearer idea about this!
One can't take everything said by a character in a film to be something that the author is stating positively or "agrees" with.
