That was silly, and the movie wasn't even that great (Okuribito, or "Departures" - Japanese Oscar-winning movie about a guy who accidentally and *hilariously* becomes a funeral director even though he gags when he sees dead bodies. Obviously, I cried like a baby throughout)<br /><br />But really - like Being John Malkovich, and Eternal Sunshine, Synecdoche is a movie that hits you much more the second time when you're not worrying about what the fuck is going on, or keeping up with the plot. It really is an astonishing film-quite unlike anything else I'll ever see.
