Estou Pensando em Acabar com Tudo
Too dumb to understand this. Said as much out loud when the movie ended and my friends confidently explained the synopsis, and I literally did not pick up on any of it. Felt like I was listening to freeform jazz only to have the lights come on and see everybody crying. It sure felt like a nice movie though! Everyone’s just bringing their A game here. Buckley is such a talent, and Toni Collette is one of the funniest actors we have.
Maybe one day I will read one (1) book and my brain will have swollen enough to come back to this and understand everything– much like Keanu Reeves in the popular film Matrix! Now that’s a movie. Bullet go slow... he do karate... what if life was a computer... what if the sky was green... freacking epic :) I’m thinking of rewatching things! Things meaning Keanu movies!!! People keep askin’ if I’m ending things... yeah, I’m thinkin’ I’m ending things!!!
while iain reid's novel extracts horror from blood and dread, charlie kaufman's interpretation extracts it from existentialism, from the unavoidability of aging, from the unease of being perceived, from the eeriness permeating the claustrophobic atmosphere. they both tell the same story in completely different ways, which is exactly what a book-to-film adaptation should aim to do.
in the book, there's a fascinating passage about how humans need allegory and metaphor in order to more comprehensively understand the world around us. this is the most central idea of the film, i think: our tendency to tell ourselves stories in order to live (a personal fav sub-genre of mine, thank you joan didion). especially as it seems to function as an unexpected…
how many times does toni collette have to scream before y'all finally give her the oscar
i can almost feel the sexual tension between male directors and time...... so hot 😍😍😍
Every single line of dialogue in this movie is entirely deliberate, a piece of an exceedingly intricate puzzle that you slowly start to piece together over the course of the film's runtime. Shockingly, at no point does it become tedious, repetitive, or boring. It's a genuine thrill to see how even the most mundane conversation can be warped into something far more important and meaningful over time.
I can't even begin to process how deeply this movie affected me. I outright sobbed at multiple intervals, even though I legitimately had no idea what was going on in the story. Many people will view this movie the same way Jake's dad views abstract art: nothing more than an empty mess devoid of any true meaning. However, I consider this unabashedly bizarre masterpiece to be one of the most profound, genius (not genus) works of art I've ever experienced.
It almost makes me want to give the musical Oklahoma another chance. Almost.
I’m not going to pretend that I understand this, and I will most likely go down a rabbit hole of video essays and “explained” videos on YouTube, when I really just need for Charlie Kauffman to sit down with me and explain this
hahaha oh my god what the fuuuuuuck i spent most of this movie waiting for it to end
i like the dreamlike concept but overall it was confusing and could have had a better story

Just as the novel shook me to my core, the film did as well. Kaufman really mastered incredible screenplay, metaphors, and blending reality and fiction. Perplexing, unnerving, and melancholy with great performances. Definitely going to have to watch this one again
