An interpretation of SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK

So if you haven’t seen Charlie Kaufman’s brilliant Synecdoche, NY, you may not want to read this because I’m going to get into a lot of the plot points and such.  Then again, maybe you do want to read it.  It probably wouldn’t hurt to know what happens before you go in.  After all, Flannery O'Connor used to tell her audiences what would happen in A Good Man is Hard to Find before she would read it to them.  She wanted her audiences to pay attention to how she told the story, not the story itself.  Which isn’t a bad approach to Synecdoche.

First of all, I must admit that this theory on the film is not mine alone.  No, this was hashed out at length with my friends Adam Ohler (whypandawhy) and Michael Reich (videothing).  This is certainly the result of a group effort.  And, all modesty aside, I must admit that although Charlie Kaufman refuses to discuss what the film means, I really think our interpretation is correct.

Okay, it’s gonna get spoiler-y from here out.  You’ve been warned.

The key to understanding Synecdoche, NY is realizing that protagonist Caden Cotard (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) is dead.  He has killed himself before the movie even starts.  I’ll admit I’m not 100% clear on whether the events depicted in the film are purgatory, or a Bullet in the Brain sort of death dream, or what have you.  But the specifics on that are not really important.  Whatever it is, we seem to be in some sort of time loop, a la Star Trek: The Next Generation (more on this later).  And the time line is muddled, sped up, mashed together; as if Caden is reliving all the moments that led to his suicide.  And Caden is completely oblivious to it.  Maybe even in denial.

The first hint we get that Caden is dead comes immediately at the film’s open.  Over black, a child (presumably Caden’s daughter Olive) sings a simple rhyme written by Kaufman himself.  The lyrics are innocent enough at first:

There’s a place I long to be

A certain town that’s dear to me

Home to Mohawks and G.E.

It’s called Schenectady

I was born there and I’ll die there

My first home I hope to buy there

Have a kid or at least try there

Sweet Schenectady.

At this point, we fade in from black onto an image of a clock.  The time is 7:45 AM.  And the lyrics to the song offer the film’s first clue as they take a decidedly darker turn:

And when I’m buried and I’m dead

Upstate worms will eat my head

For every person that you know

Once you say…

Think you’ve seen…

You won’t see them again

There’s always a last time

That you see everyone.

There’s always a never again.

It certainly sums up the tone of the film.  But look at those words.  The words over the first image of the film are “I’m buried and I’m dead.”  You don’t notice it on first view but that is the case.  Then the soundscape changes to the morning radio show that wakens Caden from his slumber.  It is a literary show; the host and a European woman are discussing death.  She reads a poem about winter and its bareness.  This is how the movie starts.

The movie then cuts to Caden’s wife wiping his 5 year old daughter’s ass.  Her shit is green and it causes some minor concern.  I think what is at play here is some symbolism of the color green in relation to Caden.  Her name is Olive (olives are green), her shit is green, she wears a green jacket in one prominent scene, and later in the film – as Caden reads her journal – she remembers said green jacket fondly.  I suppose that the green represents life.  Olive is Caden’s life.  And when she is taken from him, it ultimately leads to his demise.

The first 25 to 30 minutes of the film are fairly straightforward.  Sure there are surreal moments with Caden’s new mystery disease and when he gets whacked in the head by a faucet from an exploding sink.  But compared to the rest of the movie, this is fairly benign.  These are the moments in Caden’s life before his suicide.  He still has his family, he still has his career as a theater director.  Things are falling apart but he’s not done yet.

It’s only after Caden’s wife (who’s name is Adele Lack – Adele meaning “noble” and Lack meaning, well, “without”) leaves for Europe with Olive that things go off the track.  Caden’s wasting disease accelerates.  The disease is not a real disease but yet a manifestation of Caden’s insecurities and neurosis.  In fact, just before Olive leaves, Caden walks her to school and explains that the boils on his skin are called “neuroses” which is a physical ailment different from “neurosis,” which means you’re crazy.  Riiiiight.

Another huge clue comes when Caden goes to see his marriage counselor alone.  He notices a book on the table.  It’s called “Little Winky” and it was written by Horace Wood.

“‘Little Winky’ is a virulent anti-semite, who works in a gin mill during prohibition.  The story follows his initiation into the Klan, his introduction to the pornographic snuff industry and his ultimate degradation at the hands of a black ex-convict, with whom he embarks on a homosexual affair,” his therapist explains to him.  She goes on to inform him that Horace Wood wrote the book when he was four years old.  Caden is shocked.  

“He wrote this when he was four?!” he exclaims

She responds, “Well he must have.  He killed himself when he was five.”

“Why did he kill himself?” Caden asks.

“I don’t know.  Why did you?”

Why did you?

Caden is taken aback.  "What did you say?“

"I said why would you?”

It seems that Caden has killed himself at some point after his wife left him.  Wherever he is now, he is denying the fact that he is dead.  And it’s at this point that, just briefly, a little bit of the truth has broken out and smacked him in the face.  But of course, he quickly returns to his denial and things move along.

He tries to move on in life and love.  He has always had a flirtatious relationship with Hazel (Samantha Morton), his theater’s ticket office girl.  But due to his own insecurites and his own Hamlet-esque inability to act, he ruins things.  In one of the few scenes that leaves Caden’s perspective in the film, Hazel buys a house that is perpetually on fire.  This is one of the films more poetic set pieces and it is a step further from reality than the rest of the movie.  It’s because Caden wasn’t there to see this scene.  This is something that happened without him but in his death rattle, he imagines what it must have been like.  The woman showing Hazel the house admits that her son, Derek, is going through a divorce and is living in the basement while he sorts things out.  She asks Hazel if she would like to meet him and immediately calls for him.  Derek emerges from the basement, shirtless; his body obviously superior to Caden’s.  Hazel later marries Derek and starts a family with him.  So it is natural that Caden would imagine there meeting as orchestrated, overly simplistic, and portraying Derek in a less than flattering manner.  In addition, I would imagine that the ever-flaming house represents that love is hell for Caden.  He wants it, he can take it, but he can’t seem to get it.  It burns and it doesn’t stop.  It doesn’t ever even reduce the house to ashes.  It only eventually kills Hazel (“I think it was smoke inhalation,” the EMT tell Caden).

Later in the film, Caden spots Hazel and Derek with their children at a hotel rooftop pool.  It destroys him.  He attempts to throw himself off the roof but is stopped by a stranger.  This factors in later, when Caden is directing his never ending opus that blindly grasps for what is “true.”  

Caden receives a “genius grant” to create a work of art on the stage.  This seems like a good thing at first but ultimately is his undoing.  It’s as if his acceptance of the grant was the beginning of his descent to hell, or some other undesirable plane.  The play features 1000s of actors playing themselves in a huge warehouse.  If you’ve seen the movie you know what happens.  It gets more and more meta, crawling up its own ass like some sort of perverse ouroboros, to the point where Caden hires Sammy Barnathan (a man that has been following Caden for years and is strategically placed in the film’s background leading up to his introduction) to play himself as the director of the play.  Sammy plays Caden so well that he falls helplessly in love with Hazel (and not the stand in hired to play her).  When he cannot have her, Sammy leaps from the roof of the hotel roof pool set, killing himself while shouting something to the effect of “take a look at yourself, Caden.”  Caden stand over Sammy’s lifeless body shouting “I didn’t do it!  I never jumped!  Somebody stopped me!  Somebody stopped me!”  I suspect that no one actually stopped him.

The film gets even denser at this point.  Caden starts spending nights, cleaning Adele’s apartment in New York.  He never sees her, only hears recordings of her voice.  And Adele believes that the work is being done by a spinstress cleaning woman named Ellen.  Eventually, Caden writes Ellen into his play.  But Caden is old and burnt out on life.  After decades of claiming that he “knows how to do the play now” and a seemingly infinite amount of titles, he more or less gives up.  He allows the actress playing Ellen to start playing his role as director and he becomes the cleaning woman.  Ellen almost immediately accomplishes with the play what Caden has been trying to and failing to create his entire life.

Caden the cleaning lady deteriorates.  It’s clear that the end is near.  He gets an ear piece from Ellen to wear in his ear in which she tells him every last thing to do, something he’s been wishing for his entire life – someone else to make the decisions for him.  Caden walks through the city and to the warehouse.  There are dead bodies everywhere.  He eventually finds an old woman who is Ellen’s mother.  She holds him on a bench  There is a sunny flash back to Ellen and her mother some years ago when Ellen was just a child.  It becomes clear that all Ellen wanted was a child to recreate that day with, but she never had one.  I can’t be sure what this all speaks to.  This is one part of the film where I am unsure of my theory.  But I think it speaks to one of two things: either Caden feels as if he should never have been Caden, that he should have been a simple cleaning woman; or, that Caden actually wasn’t Caden.  Perhaps this is Ellen’s veiled purgatory (although I believe this to be unlikely.  Just food for thought).  Whatever it is, there’s something at play here that I can’t quite figure out.  If you have any ideas let me know.  Clearly the idea of failing to have offspring, one’s thwarted attempt at immortality figures in here.  Perhaps Caden never had a child after all?  I welcome your thoughts on this matter.

The voice in Caden’s ear tells him that the time is 7:45.  There is graffiti on the wall of an analog clock reading 7:45.  Remember the opening image of the film?  A clock reading 7:45.  It is at this point that the voice in Caden’s ear tells him to “die.”  Everything fades to white.  End of the movie.  But not the end of Caden’s cycle.

One last note: “Caden” is Scottish for battle.  "Cotard" (Caden’s last name) is a syndrome in which one believes him or herself to already be dead.

I would say the plot of the movie is not the point.  Obviously, it’s the themes of mortality, love, and inaction that are important here.  And while the film is deeply and wholly depressing, it is not without its message.  Perhaps Caden wasted his life and things didn’t work out for him.  But that doesn’t have to be us.  If ever a movie has urged its viewers to go out, grab life by the balls, and make your own fate, this is it.

SCOOBY-DOO! MYSTERY INCORPORATED TIMELINE

 I’ve been re-watching Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated with my boyfriend and have been fascinated with the history of Crystal Cove in the series. I thought I’d create this post to present the problems within the timeline and try to properly place everything in order. For Scooby fans who have not watched this series and don’t want it spoiled, do not read this post as it contains many spoilers.

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated is a series that reboots the entire franchise so we can no longer associate the time setting as the 1970s (although What’s New Scooby-Doo? also reset the time setting). We can assume that because of the years this series was on television, the events in SDMI take place between 2010 and 2013.

As all SDMI fans should know after watching the entire series, there have been more mystery-solving groups in history than Scooby and the gang (the new Mystery Incorporated). In chronological order we have the Hunters of Secrets (four youths and a jaguar living in Mesoamerica), Fraternitas Mysterium (four friars and a donkey named Porto who lived in an area that would become Crystal Cove), Alianza Misterio (four masked Mexicans and skunk named El Fuchi), The Mystery Gang (four cowgirls and their bull Tiny), The Benevolent Lodge of Mystery (four youths and their orangutan Mr. Peaches), The Mystery Fellowship (the Darrow family and their cat Whiskers), the original Mystery Incorporated (Brad Chiles, Judy Reeves, Cassidy Williams, Ricky Owens, and parrot Professor Pericles), and the new Mystery Incorporated (Fred Jones [Chiles], Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Norville “Shaggy” Rogers, and great dane Scooby-Doo).  

The first bit of information we get is from Velma when she is giving a tour and talking about Crystal Cove’s strange history. She claims that the first documented case of the curse of Crystal Cove was from 1630 when a band of Spanish conquistadors mysteriously vanished from the harbor. She continues to discuss the disappearance of an entire town of missionaries about 135 years later in 1765. Velma then says that about 100 years later (about 1865), Cletus Darrow (head of the Darrow Family and Mystery Fellowship), discovered gold and renamed the area Crystal Cove. The curse had appeared to be lifted until one Halloween when the entire Darrow family disappeared.

Season 2 of SDMI is when we really start to get a bigger picture of Crystal Cove’s dramatic history. Before I point out the issue I’ve discovered in the timeline, I’d like to address where all the pieces of the Planispheric Disk were hidden and how they moved throughout the series.

The Planispheric Disk was created and divided into six pieces by Fernando El Aguirre after they had buried the treasure they had compiled as well as the crystal sarcophagus they stole from the Hunters of Secrets.

El Aguirre hid one of the pieces in the Spanish ship and had the ship taken to the top of a mountain hidden from sight. He intended for it never to be seen again. He would have two other pieces that would end up in the hands of Fraternitas Mysterium after going mad and abandoning them.

The two pieces drove Fraternitas Mysterium mad as well. Their donkey Porto was corrupted most by the evil and he would then try to escape with one of the pieces. Friar Gabriello Serra, leader of Fraternitas Mysterium, chased Porto into alligator-infested swamps and retrieved the piece Porto stole after Porto was devoured by the gators. Friar Serra had one of the pieces now but the other was still in the part of the town that was then blown up by Porto’s TNT and sank to the bottom of the sea. Friar Serra would take his piece and hide it in a wheel of cheese.

Another piece over time came into the hands of the Darrow Family. The piece caused tension and fights in the family. An earthquake caused the family and their home to sink into the earth trapping them. The family would pass over time leaving the son Danny Darrow who is last seen to be somewhere in his 80s. He had hidden the piece in the mansion and it would end up in the hands of the new Mystery Incorporated after the mansion was destroyed in a reawakened fault line.

One of the other disk pieces was hidden in a Russian oddity called the House of Baba Yaga. It would be discovered by Velma and Marcie.

The last piece was discovered by the original Mystery Incorporated in a chest that was hidden in the caverns beneath the Spanish church in Crystal Cove. After Professor Pericles and Fred Jones Sr. betrayed Mystery Incorporated and stole the piece for themselves, Fred Jones Sr. double-crossed Pericles and had him sent to an animal asylum. Fred Jones Sr. would have the piece kept hidden in his mansion until it was stolen by Pericles 20 years later.

The history of the movements of the Planispheric Disk is important because it presents a problem with the history of Crystal Cove as explained by Velma in the first episode.

According to Velma’s telling of the town’s history, the Spanish conquistadors disappeared in 1630. We can assume their disappearance is because the band of conquistadors split up to hide the pieces of the Planispheric Disk. We can also assume that the town of missionaries that was blown up by Porto in 1765 happened not long after Fraternitas Mysterium obtained their two pieces of the disk. But if that’s true, how could have El Aguirre still been alive roughly 130 years after the conquistadors split up? The only resolve I can think of is from when the director in “Theater of Doom” states that the town Porto blew up was destroyed about 500 years ago.

Another problem in the timeline I’ve discovered while re-watching the series is the willing of the Burlington Library. It’s stated in the episode “Night Terrors” that Oswald P. Burlington, leader of the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery, decreed in the 1880s that if the Burlington Library were to ever close, the building and everything in it would then belong to Darrow University.

Considering that the events of SDMI take place in 2010 and that Darrow University is built over the Darrow Mansion that sank into the earth 75 years ago (1935), how could Oswald have willed the Library to Darrow University in the 1880s (roughly 50 years prior)? The only solution I can think of is that Oswald actually willed the Library to Darrow University in the late 1930s.

The final issue I have with the history of Crystal Cove is the town’s name. While we can assume that all of the crazy things that have happened in this town have surely been mixed up and the retelling of the town’s history can be incorrect, I still noticed this error because I’m the kind of person who likes everything to be perfect.

In the first episode, Velma states that Cletus Darrow discovered gold in the area in 1865 and renamed the area Crystal Cove. I’m not really sure how gold translates to crystal so I’m willing to assume this fact is blatantly false when it is stated in the Spanish conquistador ship’s manifest that El Aguirre renamed the area Crystal Cove because they had buried a sarcophagus beneath it that was made of crystal.

Now that I’ve presented the problems, I’ll try to create a timeline of the events of SDMI and the history of past characters. In this timeline I’ll try to guesstimate decades of events and also try to fix the problems.

~1500-1550s: Bartimeo Magnus (master alchemist to King Charles V), creates the Planispheric Disk, a mapping device that can pinpoint any location in the world.

~1580s-1620s: The Hunters of Secrets possess a supernatural crystal sarcophagus somewhere in Mesoamerica. The sarcophagus was stolen by Fernando El Aguirre and his band of Spanish conquistadors before the Hunters of Secrets could destroy the evil Annunaki inside.  

~1620s: Fernando El Aguirre and the Spanish conquistadors are driven mad by the evil Annunaki and violently raid settlements on the western coast for gold and other valuables. In the late 1620s, the conquistadors bury the sarcophagus in a cove. Due to the sarcophagus being in a cavern that one must travel through alternate dimensions to get to, lets assume good Annunaki assisted the conquistadors in burying the evil entity. El Aguirre renames the area Crystal Cove because of the sarcophagus.

~1630: Fernando El Aguirre creates his own Planispheric Disk to map out the location of the sarcophagus and divides it into six pieces. He disbands the conquistadors in order to make obtaining all of the pieces hard to accomplish. He sends part of the group into the mountains with the Spanish ship to hide one of the pieces. The ship is booby-trapped with mechanisms that are futuristic, which we will also assume were acquired for the conquistadors by the Annunaki.

~1630s-1700s: Sometime in this century, probably earlier than later, Fernando El Aguirre has been driven mad by the two pieces of the disks he has in his possession and abandons them where a group of Franciscan friars and their donkey Porto called Fraternitas Mysterium would discover them. 

~1670s-1720s: Fraternitas Mysterium is corrupted by the two disk pieces. Porto is corrupted the most and sets out to destroy Crystal Cove while getting away with one of the pieces. Friar Gabriello Serra pursues Porto into alligator-infested swamps that would later become Gatorsburg. Porto is eaten by the gators but Friar Serra manages to retrieve the piece Porto stole. He is too late however in preventing Porto’s TNT from blowing up and destroying part of Crystal Cove. That portion of the town breaks off in an earthquake and sinks into the ocean, along with the other disk piece that Fraternitas Mysterium possessed. Friar Serra takes his piece and hides it in a wheel of cheese.

~1750s-1800s: The group of masked Mexicans called Alianza Misterio and their skunk El Fuchi resides somewhere in north-western Mexico or southern California.

~1800s-1850s: The group of cowgirls called the Mystery Gang and their bull Tiny resides somewhere in southern California.

~1865: The gold rush is present in Crystal Cove and a very young Cletus Darrow moves to the area.  

~1880s-1920s: Railroad owner Oswald P. Burlington forms the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery with his pet orangutan Mr. Peaches along with Abigail Gluck, Marianne Blanchard, and Scotty O'Rourke. The Benevolent Lodge of Mystery traveled the world and were known to have visited Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, Serbia, France, Britain, Belgium, Romania, the African continent, and Russia (which explains the location of the piece hidden in the house of Baba Yaga). The group unearthed relics and many manuscripts that are rumored to have led to the start of the First World War.

~1920s: Mr. Peaches dies of declining health and old age. Oswald P. Burlington is heartbroken and disbands the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery. He retires to his library in the mountains with many of the relics collected from the many years of the Lodge’s existence.

~1935: The Mystery Fellowship (the Darrow Family), have discovered a piece of the Planispheric Disk and it has corrupted the family. While fighting over the piece, an earthquake shakes the Darrow Mansion. The mansion sinks into the earth trapping the family underground. Over the next 50 years, Cletus Darrow, his wife and daughter and their cat Whiskers have all died leaving Danny Darrow alone.

~1935-1940: Darrow University is built over where the Darrow Mansion used to stand. Oswald P. Burlington is now in his 80s and decrees that if his library is to ever close, it and all that is in it is to be donated to Darrow University. A very young parrot Professor Pericles meets Abigail Gluck in Bavaria, Germany around the start of World War II.

~1940s: Abigail Gluck learns that Fraternitas Mysterium at one time possessed two of the Planispheric Disk pieces. She returns to Crystal Cove and builds an underwater mining lab as well as robots styled like WWII soldiers. She uses the robots to aid in finding the pieces in the sunken portion of Crystal Cove. Gluck dies of old age in her chair in the lab.

~1978-1984: A young Ricky Owens in Crystal Cove finds parrot Professor Pericles who has fallen due to an injured wing. Ricky cares for Pericles and the two become friends.

~1988-1990: Ricky Owens is in high school and joins a club with Brad Chiles, Judy Reeves, Cassidy Williams, and Professor Pericles. They called themselves Mystery Incorporated. The group attended high school with Barty Blake and his future wife Nan. Mystery Incorporated discovered the Darrow Mansion underneath Darrow University but left the mansion before they could be trapped by Danny Darrow.

~1990: Frederick Jones arrives to Crystal Cove curious about its history and gets a job as an assistant at the Darrow University library. He secretly undergoes a persona called the Freak of Crystal Cove to try to find the Planispheric Disk pieces at night. When investigating Crystal Cove’s Spanish church after spotting the Freak, Mystery Incorporated stumbles upon a scroll that shows a completed Planispheric Disk drawing. Not knowing what it is, they consult Frederick Jones for help. Jones creates a plan with Professor Pericles to betray Mystery Incorporated in order to obtain the pieces of the Planispheric Disk. Professor Pericles helps calculate the location of the disk and leads Mystery Incorporated into the caves to find it. After finding one of the pieces in a chest, a trap goes off that floods Mystery Incorporated out of the caves. Judy Reeves loses her Mystery Incorporated locket in the caves. Professor Pericles and Frederick Jones fabricate evidence to implicate Mystery Incorporated’s loved ones in crimes and threaten to go to the police unless they leave Crystal Cove and never return. Mystery Incorporated breaks up and disappears and Frederick Jones then betrays Professor Pericles. He locks Pericles up in the Crystal Cove Animal Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

~1990-1992: Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves marry somewhere outside Crystal Cove.

~1992: Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves give birth to a baby boy and attempt to return to Crystal Cove. Frederick Jones secretly abducts the baby and threatens to harm him unless Brad and Judy leave Crystal Cove and never come back. Frederick Jones names the baby after him, Frederick Jones Jr.

~2000-2010: Ricky Owens returns to Crystal Cove and starts a corporation called Destroido. He undergoes the alias Mr. E. He also convinces Cassidy Williams to return to Crystal Cove. She comes back and gets a job as a DJ at the K-Ghoul Radio Station under the alias Angel Dynamite.

~2008-2010: Frederick Jones Sr. becomes mayor of Crystal Cove and Fred Jones Jr. is in high school and befriends Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Norville “Shaggy” Rogers and his dog Scooby-Doo. They become close and start to solve mysteries in Crystal Cove.

~2010: While investigating the Slime Creature terrorizing Crystal Cove, Daphne Blake discovers a locket in the caves beneath Crystal Cove and uncovers a larger mystery.

I apologize for the length of this post but I wanted to make sure I included everything! I hope this helps if any Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated fans had any questions about the timeline of the series!
