Hearing this sentence, my heart trembled. The conversation of the Kaufman brothers behind a dead tree in the swamp is truly heartfelt and is the most touching scene in the film. Perhaps, it is also a spiritual dialogue.
"Adapted Screenplay" features the famous screenwriter Charlie Kaufman as the protagonist and tells the process of his adaptation of the story. At first, it was calm and even boring. The stories of Charlie and the original author were constantly intertwined, and the scenes presented were as plain as water, and even jokingly, the process of birth and evolution of life and the research pictures of Einstein made people feel that this film It's just a joke, a game played by the screenwriter himself.
But I watched it a little bit patiently, and I was gradually attracted by it. Charlie racked his brains for his script, and his head was full of discouraged thoughts. He has low self-esteem, attaches great importance to the evaluation of others, rejects his own ideas, thinks that he has lost his creativity, and is always irritable, fluctuating, and chaotic because of this.
This makes me feel familiar, probably because I am also a person who has low self-esteem and loves face. I often worry about not doing well, worrying about other people's opinions, completely denying myself, unable to ignite my enthusiasm for life, just feeling annoyed and wanting to leave In other words, want to escape indefinitely. So I want to see how Charlie accomplishes his task and how to face the predicament he thinks he can't overcome.
Charlie has a twin brother who is the exact opposite of his personality, natural, casual, nonchalant, passionate about life and perpetually humorous. He also wrote scripts, and his style was completely different from his brother's. He sincerely appreciates his brother, supports him, obeys him, and helps him. In the end, it is with his help that Charlie completed the script and completed the transformation of his character.
Perhaps, this twin brother is another personality of Charlie Kaufman in reality. Dull and active, inferiority and self-confidence, seriousness and ridicule are always intertwined, creating contradictions and sparks of inspiration. Perhaps, most people are like this, but there is no such obvious opposition.
The plot gradually has its ups and downs, and when Charlie goes to find the original author Susan, the two stories merge into one and evolve all the elements needed to stimulate the plot, such as voyeurism, violence, sex, murder, etc. The story feels absurd, but you know what he's saying I'm living like this. Charlie spends a lot of time with his brother, he starts to think about the difference between his life and his brother, he feels that he is wasting his life by putting too much emphasis on other people's opinions and ignoring his true feelings. This is not life.
Yes, I love you because you are my love no matter what you think of me. This is my feeling. Even you can't take it away.
Easy, real life, no?
Nicolas Cage plays two roles, one is a pessimistic man who is bald, slightly fat, with a hunchback, no self-confidence, and sweats when he speaks, and the other is a romantic, confident, bold, adventurous, spirited optimistic guy, both very vivid. Like~
