Fraction of The Fraction
found footage, 2 min 16 sec, 2017.
Fragments used in a video:
Synecdoche, New York, direct. Charlie Kaufman (audio)/ Journey through the universe beyond the speed of light ( video).
During this video, we hear a priest celebrating a funeral mass. The character talks about life choices and their consequences for the rest of our existence. A sermon about human futility turns into a personal confession about dissatisfaction with life. The priest confesses that he feels fear of showing emotions, and mentions their suppression, which makes our lives meaningless.
I think this is a very universal message that touches most of us. Showing emotions such as anger or displeasure or sharing our problems is often considered inappropriate. Avoiding the expression of emotions leads to alienation and most often to chronic sadness.
