In Synecdoque, New York ( review Cinemascope35 ) appears in an early scene, the actor Tom Noonan, a lanky man, skinny, bald and physical resemblance to Larry David .
His character's name is Sammy, and, in these first few minutes of footage, behind a lamppost. Monitors, controls, or simply observe the life of the protagonist, the playwright Caden Cotard, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman .
But Noonan's character is quiet and shy, always with his raincoat and a suitcase, ready to work anytime. And, indeed, is always working, because it is a character who follows another for twenty years to learn everything you can on the other, for him, steal his being.
Although, who the hell is Tom Noonan? I keep wondering why, because it has a discrete films, and, instead, is a man capable of creating an amazing character in the film Charlie Kaufman. For if a movie buff sounds retailer, had previously participated, with a secondary character in Heat (1995) of Michael Mann, who convinced sure as nine years earlier in Manhunter (1986).
On the ground, almost two meters, has portrayed villain roles, as in RoboCop 2 (as I said the criticism of the country: "More of the same, but infinitely more noisy"), but also an actor, Tom Noonan is also a screenwriter and director . For example, coordinated these two facets in the independent film "What Happened WAS ..." a work as independently as unknown, and I have only a visual reference Youtube video, and another in his personal web.
Still, the movie What Happened WAS, can serve as a starting point to figure out why Charlie Kaufman had Tom Noonan Synecdoque, New York? What Happened WAS
participated in 1994 at Sundance, where he received the prize of the jury, there was interviewees or by Movie Maker, where the director tells what he wanted for his film, and his arguments connect perfectly with those of Caden Cotard The character of Philip Seymour Hoffman in Kaufman's masterpiece. He says: "I always said I was going to write about what I really feel. But when I sat two years before [to write the script], I knew nothing. I was sick, something more than physical." He continues: "There would consider doing anything beyond writing a movie about small details and see where it went, in an exploration of dreams, fantasies and nightmares that people keep, hidden beneath their prescribed identities.
Tom Noonan in Synecdoque, New York, does not act, he only . His character is Sammy aspects determine the life of Philip Seymour Hoffman, and when it wants to narrate, he participates to discover the true identity of the protagonist.
Charlie Kaufmantherefore chose Tom Noonan for his ability to see people as they are. That is the nexus between the eyes of these two geniuses.
