I've seen Syn twice (on TV, we missed it in the theatres). Both times I wondered, WTF is going on? By the end I had this depressing feeling and identified with Caiden. Though I still don't understand the whole arc I feel a "completion" by the end. Like it? I'm not sure, but I am interested to watch it again.
sharecloud atlas was ok I thought
try watching inland empire, now that was hard to follow
Inland Empire and Synecdoche both share the same surrealistic plot lines (SYN has a little more, let's call it, characters and development than Inland), and I believe that there isn't a right way to follow any of those stories. SYN has a lot to offer, but logic isn't one of them; the third time I watched, I could enjoy the movie proper, and even more the fourth time.
Surrealism is artistic freedom, and should be treated like it.
My top 40 movies, and 5 series - http://www.imdb.com/list/8E9BClgpa6s/
I agree, I found Inland Empire almost hard to watch at times and having seen syn as well, the caracters are easier to relate to
share8 1/2 also is like synecdoche a bit.
shareCloud Atlas was a walk in the park compared to this.
Its that man again!!
