The Orchid Thief CCTV called it an adaptation of the script~~ It's all one thing anyway. At the beginning of the film, I had high hopes for him. I thought it was a very unusual, the type of literary film I like. It's a big difference, and it's these differences that make me very disappointed. But it also gave me a lot of inspiration, about the movie, especially the big screenwriter in the story, and the book about orchids, just like the plot asks, it is indeed a very beautiful book. It gives me the feeling that the whole movie is like a story where nothing happened. In the end, it is very far-fetched to choose a Hollywood-style ending, shootout, car chase, drugs, death... At the end, it returns to the original The tone of , the casual, omnipresent feeling, like the embossed characters in Chinese characters, went around a long circle like nothing to do, and finally returned to the track, which is incomprehensible.

John Laroche: [viewing an orchid at a flower show] Angraecum sesquipedale! A beauty! God! Darwin wrote about this one. Charles Darwin? Evolution guy? Hello? You see that nectary all the way down there? Darwin hypothesized a moth with a nose twelve inches long to pollinate it. Everyone thought he was a loon! Then, sure enough, they found this moth with a twelve-inch proboscis. Proboscis means "nose," by the way.
Susan Orlean: I know what "proboscis" means.
John Laroche: Yeah, let's not get off the subject. This isn't a pissing contest!

John Laroche: Look, I'll tell you a story, all right? I once feel deeply, you know, profoundly in love with tropical fish. Had 60 goddamn fish tanks in my house. I skin dived to find just the right ones. Anisotremus virginicus, Holdacanthus ciliaris, Chaetodon capistratus. You name it. Then one day I say, "fuck fish". I renounce fish. I vow never to set foot in that ocean again. That's how much "fuck fish".
