Picasso and Kaufmann

But perhaps don't rush to fill a seat at the new Charlie Kaufman film Synecdoche. Meaning 'simultaneous understanding', the film hinges around a search for - er, well I'm not entirely sure. The meaning of life? Escape from loneliness? I'm not even sure what questions were being asked. We're all actors in our own lives? What's true and what's false? Everyone is the same as everyone else? We can see everything at once? After 2 hours and 4 minutes I was left confused. I prefer Picasso's take on simultaneous understanding: cubism. Ok so it's not always easy to see what you're looking at, but I think the idea of looking at everything at once works better on a canvas than on screen.
