have a little understanding

The problem with this movie is that the clutter up front is so long and impatient.
Although Cage, who plays two roles, is very novel, the most important thing in the movie is the story itself.
However, the coherence of the story is muddled by the editing of the film.

There are two protagonists in the film, one Charlie and one Susan.
A man who cannot be free, a man whose freedom is suppressed.
The story is solving such a problem, how can life be unrestrained?

Two people, two roads, Susan is more like indulgence for indulgence.
And Charlie unplugged at his brother's point, and finally understood, love what I love, don't care what the loved one thinks of you.

Somewhat enlightened.
Love is for the good of others, not requiring approval from others.

Adaptation. quotes

  • John Laroche: You know why I like plants?

    Susan Orlean: Nuh uh.

    John Laroche: Because they're so mutable. Adaptation is a profound process. Means you figure out how to thrive in the world.

    Susan Orlean: [pause] Yeah but it's easier for plants. I mean they have no memory. They just move on to whatever's next. With a person though, adapting almost shameful. It's like running away.

  • Donald Kaufman: [about McKee] But he says that we have to realize that we all write in a genre, and we must find our originality within that genre. See it turns out, there hasn't been a new genre since Fellini invented the mockumentary...? My genre's thriller, what's yours?
