Here are the first few clips from Charlie Kaufman ’s directorial introduction Synecdoche , New York . Kaufman , of course of instruction , wrote science fabrication classic Being John Malkovich , Adaptation and The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless MInd . In this case , the skill fiction hook is a mystifying disease that ’s slowly shutting down Philip Seymour Hoffman ’s consistency ’s autonomic functions , one by one .
Does Hoffman need a neurologist ? Or a urologist ? Are the eyes part of the mentality , or something separate ? As you might expect from a cinema with “ synecdoche ” in the title , thing being part of other thing is an important theme .
Early summary of the picture show advise that Hoffman ’s fibre is staging a huge play in a warehouse ( as see in the first clip ) and the warehouse slowly transforms into a scale model of New York , the city it ’s in . In other Word , it becomes a synecdoche for New York itself . And meanwhile , Hoffman ’s secret scifi disease becomes a metaphor for parts of the whole closing down or becoming treacherous — as Hoffman himself becomes unreliable . Oh , and there are cunning tattoos . [ Slashfilm ]
