the fact that it's been 5 years and there has been no part 6 is so goddamn meta

[@LiveFreeOrDie2A]

The “this is so meta” joke about the fact it’s been over 6 years now and we’re still waiting on Part 6 is just pathetic at this point from someone who ends Part 5 saying “I actually care about my audience”. BULLSHIT. The fact you haven’t manned up, buckled down, and put out Part 6 after 6+ years at this point is honestly mind boggling and says a lot about your character! Stop making excuses and blaming the project for how hard and time consuming it is. You have 1.12 MILLION subs on this channel, yet you’re putting out 1-2 45+ min long videos a day that average under 1k views on your Gaming Channel w/ only 35.2k subs. A channel that’s 7 YEARS old w/ 3.3k videos. I think we can see what takes up so much of your time. STOP MAKING EXCUSES, get your fucking priorities straight, ACTUALLY care about your audience, and FINISH these fucking ‘The Genius of Synecdoche, New York’ videos! Not just Part 6, but Part 7 -__! Seriously, it’s truly insulting and disrespectful to your audience. There are literally some who died waiting for Part 6, and more who will die. At this rate we’ll all die before you ever put out Part 6-___ IF you ever care enough about your audience to ever put them out at all. Sorry if I’m being harsh, just being honest.

So I'm not just remarking on the amount of time that has passed between then and now, moreso the fact that I actually did watch part one when I was 13, and it was crazy to me how much my life had changed between this series starting and now, expecially as it is still ongoing.

Al Windsor it's a very simple movie. The fact that it doesn't take chronology seriously it's more confusing to view than to write.

It's incredible how both quickly these parts seem to fly by and yet how each minute, each second is crammed full of detail. Both the movie and this analysis provide such deep insight yet don't even scratch the surface of the topics they try to discuss. And the ending to this part, maybe it hit me harder then most but that is such a true statement. We all sit here and see this go up and jokingly scream ITS BEEN 400 YEARS SINCE THE LAST PART OF THIS, yet we have absolutely no idea what was or is going on in Adam's life right now. The joys, pain, suffering and stress taking place throughout all this. Adam I know this piece is stressful to produce and isn't the most popular series on your channel, but I honestly think this will be one of your greatest works, even if the majority of your subscribers never both to check it our. This is a beautifully awful tragic dream, that warns and advises us of things we can avoid becoming or answer and the things we cannot.

[@mln0rklng]

I was just thinking this. This is actually my first time going through the Synecdoche video series. I had originally told myself "oh I missed the start, so I'll wait til it's finished and then come back and watch it all as a completed work." However, with Scoot's passing, I realized there are moments you can't plan for; things that could change and you can never go back and revisit what you missed out on. And so I decided it was time to watch these and listen to Adum's thoughts. And after watching them all, I can't help but feel doing the next section might be cathartic in some way for him. 7 years have passed since Part 5. So much good and bad has almost certainly happened for him within that time. I'm sure he's changed dramatically as a person from then until now; and I think it makes sense to use that new perspective to revisit this project. At the same time, I wouldn't hold it against him if he decided to never complete this project, especially with how personal and self-confrontational the subject matter is.

[@kylelundy802]

The biggest final message that I got from this film was how to get empathy from despair. The depression of the film comes from the truth of it, we will all die and that’s all we know. To pave that path to die in our own way we must connect to other people. That’s the only way to find ourselves and our role in society. That’s the goal of all art, to connect. Caden must find both a way to connect to his true identity and the people he cares about. This is why him connecting to the role or gender of women is so important, because then he can be empathetic and have better relationships with the family he wishes and wished to have. The play shows the separation between faked connection and real connection, which is defined by our intentions. True empathy and meaning in our individual and collective lives comes from genuine care rather than connections based on only self interest, like Adele’s with Caden or Caden’s with Claire. What I got from the film is that our identity can be weakened and life less meaningful when we live in paranoia of death and let self despair take away our empathy. We all die, and that may make life feel less special or significant, but the fact that we all have the same end means we should connect on that level and treat each other accordingly. We can’t treat people like extras, we may be the director of our own life and death, but everyone else matters just as much.

Hey Adum, I just want to let you know that im still waiting for part 6. I still care about your perspective on this film. Watching these reviews again reminds me of the past when things weren’t so complicated. So much has happened to me within these years & I have a different perspective on life now. I’d like to see how part 6 would make me feel since you are good at reading into what’s going on in these scenes & explaining subtle things we couldn’t put together.

[@Ticanamy]

No part 6 yet huh, just watched this movie for the first time now and been quite obsessed with it, really enjoyed your interpretations and takes on it. I'm kind of only commenting this so i can comeback here later in life to reflect on the passage of time, and do as Charlie Kaufman advised and rewatch this movie

[@asdasd-be5ww]

It took 12 years to make. You can literally hear Adam grow up in the video.

[@k...5853]

Part 6 will be narrated by a woman

[@scottflynn4054]

Hey Adam, I have an idea for a new video/series you could make. I just started looking at your ratings on your imdb page and almost every time i see you rate a movie a 10/10 it shocks me because of how unexpected it is. It's strange seeing you love a particular movie that i could not have anticipated you would (LotR movies, the thing, etc). You could do a video just talking about why you love those movies so much, I think that would be really interesting for us to see (especially since we only really see you talk about movies you love on your top 10 lists once a year).

[@Gokersky]

Adum, please do part 6. It's been 84 years.

[@to_si_dr7647]

when this video came out i was 19... I'm 25 now and i feel like I've experienced very little of the last 6 years. I remember thinking "finally" when this video came out. never did i imagine i would go through so much and learn so much more about myself by the time i came back to this film and this analysis. to be honest it's a scary and beautiful feeling where i'm inspired to do more, live more and experience more and yet, immediately cut down by the realisation that no matter how hard i try make the most of my life, time seems to move increasingly faster. what a strange, meta, one of a kind experience this film provides. And thank you Adam, hope you can find the time to mine everything you're looking for in this film.

[@codybaker5055]

I watched this movie for the first time last night. I watched all 5 parts of this review this morning. I feel so bad for the people who have been on this ride for 8 years. I actually checked to see if the guy who makes these videos had died. Sorry I’m not a sub, I just stumbled across this today. Maybe he should cast someone in the play of life to fill this role for him. This is very fitting for the piece though.

[@3749N]

I started watching this when I was 16, now I'm 18 and this makes even more sense to me. Between graduating from high school, being in college, dealing with relationships that ultimately fail and constantly scrutinizing myself, I feel like I relate to Caden so much more. Youthful ignorance is sweet and I wish I'd appreciated it more when I was younger.

[@k...5853]

Imagine watching this for the first time as the middle-aged father of a 4 year old girl. I was crying like a baby through 10% of this film.

[@KM-pm6qe]

+Ethan Rogers please heed the warning of this film and do not fall into the infinite regression of regret. Love where you are now.

[@-mattwood]

Now you're 24...

[@MooodyDawe]

I have had two near death experiences since your last part, was in a motorcycle accident and I guess the other was ONLY a panic attack but it felt like I was gunna die! Please release part 6 adam!!!!!

[@JeffManes123]

"I realized how thematically fitting the whole situation was..." - my immediate thought when I saw this! No worries Adum, the core audience for this kind of video understands and appreciates the time it takes to make.

[@rtavicaz]

Please please please!! You must finish the review! It is so thorough (fonts, song titles, translations, hidden meanings etc) I’m loving this series just as much as I’ve loved the film. I really can’t wait to see the continuation for the review. Best of luck to you in all your projects.

[@lamea-vola]

In the six years this review has taken so far I’ve: Failed at school, then gotten better; given my first kiss, lost my virginity; entered high school, graduated high school, entered college; had my first girlfriend, had my first breakup; idealized multiple career paths, to then lose hope on them; turned from being a conservative, to being a leftie on the political spectrum; went to a psychologist, finished the sessions; had my first experiences with death and many other things I can’t remember right now. Just goes to show how, just like in the movie, time flies past you in the blink of an eye and that there is really no way to stop that from happening. In a fleeting moment your happiness turns into sadness and your sadness into happiness without the existence of chapters nor timestamps, just the beating of time passing by as you try to hold on to your most important memories. This is not necessarily depressing, as all thing must come to an end; it is, though, a reality check. Maybe I’ll try to take more advantage of the time I have here, or maybe I’ll just slow things down, live more in the present. Or maybe I’ll do none of that and just accept that time passes by, that things change and that the present isn’t eternal as I patiently wait for the next installment in this review. No one knows where I’ll be in six years; if my current identity will be stripped away or if it will find itself reinforced, if I will be alive or if I will just be another memory in people’s life. I guess we’ll see.

[@walmart_ar1567]

Yeah and so has everyone else watching this so what makes you think this is so severe

[@wastefill4156]

Well its been nice, see you on part 6 in 2020.

[@Zach-ic9ho]

Might actually be 2020

[@meyes5671]

this might actually happen

[@tonystonks4489]

@@meyes5671 yeah... or maybe Adam dies before that.

[@jordanmiller3824]

coming from 2020 here, its still not posted lmao

[@letmeinyourhouse965]

Maybe

[@YungM.D.]

Holy shit I remember seeing this series start in 2014. I just recently watched the film and just now realized watching this since I’ve finished it that this series still isn’t over

[@mwhitcher]

"I know how to do it now. I think if everyone..." Adum's last words before seeing Lion Kong 2019

[@Odiousjimmy]

Just saw this movie last night what a movie. Left me with my mouth open at the amount of detail and control that Kauffman over the production made the movie have a unique feel to it. Watched all the parts and shit i gotta rewatch this movie. Thanks for the recommendation Adam obviously not to me but to your viewers. Thanks for all the time you put into this series and even if you dont finish it the amount of work and detail was tremendous.

[@d0g642]

"i don't intend for part 6 to take as long as this one" it's starting to feel like performance art at this point

[@SinThya]

It is March 2nd, 2020 and I am still waiting for part 6 because that's where it gets really intense. Adum, my love, my all, please release the final part and finish your album. You overcomplicate yourself and obsess with preoccupying yourself with new projects over and over, kind of like Caden....

[@Lavinia_Garcia]

I can’t wait for part 6 ... As horribly depressing this film can be I found it to be strangely reassuring in the sense that it felt as if all of my fears, anxiety for the future , for getting older , for the inevitable in relationships both platonic and romantic had found a voice ... A glimpse of that moment of understanding ti which everyone in their own way can participate emotionally ...

[@lukedoyle3002]

2020 folks. Let’s hope the next part arrives this decade

[@TallyWackaTha2nd]

Oof

[@masonscoggins911]

new viewer of channel as of right now and just subscribed for part 6

[@christophervallone6271]

I've really enjoyed this series. Thanks for the insight and hope you are able to finish it.

[@bananafriel]

you have plenty of fans waiting for part six we won't judge you when you put it out

[@chucklebutt4470]

False. I judge him daily.

[@titanhood6511]

I desperately need part 6 Adam, time is passing fast and I know it's too selfish of me asking but take your time.

[@williamsecrist2879]

Part 6? Does it exist or do I have to find some weird crawl space?

[@__hjg__2123]

7 1/2 floor...

[@Virusnzz]

I saw this series when you started and resolved to watch Synechoche, New York some day and then watch this review. in 2022, 7 years after you started, I finally watched it and here I am!

[@kiamventer4456]

Adum please do part 6, we love the analysis you do

[@TheFatPunisher]

This is like inception on crack. Go make a play of yourself going through the process of reviewing this movie

A movie about making a movie about him reviewing the movie where actors play actors who play actors. We need to add more layers

[@Blue.1889]

It would be like the charlie kaufman movie Adaptation almost (except a review)

[@iain2080]

The absolute madman actually did it. Great vid man definitely worth the wait

[@ossertthewozzard]

Just a little thing I've noticed: When Caden buys (rents) the building, the woman mentions how Shakespeare was played there. I think that was a play on the famous Shakespeare quote "all the world's a stage" with the place being a literal stage displaying the world and that being a theme in the film

[@abhaspandia2221]

part 6 has not been uploaded yet or what???? i saw all 5 episodes today and i am totally moved. i can feel for the guys who have been waiting for nearly 5 years now.. wow...

[@joegreenwell5476]

I finally watched this movie and absolutely loved it. For so long I’ve seen these videos on his channel and seen him talk about working on a new part, but now I finally saw the movie and can watch these without spoiling the movie for myself. He brought up some great ideas I hadn’t thought about. I don’t know when we’ll ever get part 6, but I look forward to that day.

[@ckul822]

12:36 'Vom Schreibtisch der Adele Lack' would be correct here. 'Des' is the male form in this case. But I'm not sure if that's actually a goof or an implication that Adele's also going through a sex transformation as Caden does.

[@LaCazaLP]

Oof. Thanks. Didn't have the nerves to write that one down in a comment :D

[@wanderingrandomer]

I just realised: Part 5 has taken so long that I'll have to watch the film again to remind myself of all the themes!

[@LadyZubat]

It's almost been a year and I'm hurting. I need this movie and I need part 6

[@timidshadow]

Still waiting for Adam to hire Adum to review the next 60 seconds of the film.

[@IronixGirl]

I recently watched Synecdoche, New York just so I could watch your videos about it. What a trippy and thought-provoking experience. Looking forward to your final part, even if it'll be many, many years from now :)

My heart is sad that this series still isn't finished 🥺😞

I've watched this movie a million times since this review came out. And yet, Adam still is teaching me new stuff to appreciate about the film. I am so blown back by how insightful you can be. Keep up the good work. Fingers crossed for pt 6 soonish

[@ExitStatement]

Adam's analysis of this movie is worth waiting for. Don't rush it.

[@johannhowitzer]

This review has caused me to reflect on the one story I've been writing for... you know what? Since I was a teenager. I'm now 35, and I remember working on this story two decades ago. I've had a sudden flood of inspiration that has given me a way past several writer's blocks at once, tied the story more tightly together by orders of magnitude, and even given me a working title. The story has started pushing outside itself, and pushing that outside itself outside itself. I now know with crystal clarity all the themes I'm working with, and I can move forward. I don't know how much you notice comments on old videos, how interested you are in stories from video games, but man do I want to run all this by you and pick your brain about it. In any case, Adam, thanks to you and Kaufman for giving me the push I needed.
