325. Frame Rate: Anomalisa (Feat. Brooks Brown) (Patreon)

Brooks returns to discuss Charlie Kaufman’s second film as a director: “Anomalisa.” The gang tries to decipher its thesis and stacks it up against his other work. There’s a lot to love in this film: the voice acting, the stop-motion, and the production design, but all take a back seat to the story and meaning of the film. Does it work? Did you enjoy watching it? Is Abe an absolute snob?

Everyone: thank Zac Schwartz for bringing this to your ears. Or if you hated it, scold him!

Great episode, as always. Hard to say whether I prefer Frame Rates or 1Upsmanship, but I gotta hard disagree with Michael about filming plays. I think more plays should be film because as time goes by, less and less people have the opportunity to see stage performances as they're made more expensive/exclusive

Ok I don't want this be an essay, and who knows if this will ever get read by anybody, but - I think something missing here is that because the guy has a real disease that makes you think everyone looks and sounds the same, that provides a parallel between the guy and Lisa in that Lisa also has something that's attached to herself that separates her from connecting with other people and so I think the film isn't about ~primarily the grass is always greener. I think it's about comparing the two viewpoints of the two characters in response to both their separation from people and their reaction to the brief nature of their connection. They both at the end presumably go back to the way that their lives were, but Lisa even in the moment of their happiness expresses the belief that it's a temporary thing and that that's ok with her and in the car expresses that it will always be a happy thing to her that it happened at all - that's why the movie is called Anomalisa, it's about what you can do in a world where feeling happiness, love, meaning, and connection are anomalies compared to the larger size of everything else, life itself is an anomaly. And yes, I agree that the condition the guy has is a metaphor for a different character we're supposed to imagine and that this stands as a tool for discussing that, but I would also say that this film also happens to capture quite the separation a lot of actual people with disabilities/disfigurements have to struggle against and find their attitude towards. I also disagree with the symbols you mentioned not having meaning but I don't want this to be even longer, much love.
