three stories

The process of watching is very painful, the cross narrative, the bland plot, the only thing that makes people interested is whether the twin brothers really exist. And in the process have been guessing what the movie is about. Of course I never guessed it. I finally understood after reading the movie reviews that this actually tells three stories.
The first is a real event, where the screenwriter writes a script. This script tells the second story
The second, and the most important, is how the virtual Kaufman Brothers completes this script, which is the main line of the film.
And the third is what the author wrote in Orchid Thief. That's what the book Kaufman sees in the second story.

    Fantasy and troubles of playwrights, Kaufman's edition [eight and a half]. 1. A meta-film from the perspective of a screenwriter, art film and commercial entertainment, real life and fictional fantasy, failure and success are juxtaposed and deconstructed, which evokes reverie while blurring boundaries. 2. The process of Charlie Kaufman's adaptation of the screenplay and Susan's experience in writing novels were cross-edited, and Charlie's sexual fantasies were inserted occasionally. 3. Hilariously pungent self-deprecating, Kaufman said to the handheld tape recorder what he said to the tape recorder... The infinitely nested play is like the ultimate movie-in-picture of [the person with the camera]. 4. The thematic montage of ancient times-biological evolution-human society is unexpectedly moving. 5. Nicholas Cage plays two roles with very different personalities and plays impeccably. 6. Robert McGee may become the biggest winner? 7. The three-fold meaning of the title: script adaptation, biological adaptation to nature (evolution), and people completely abandon their old enthusiasm and adapt to new hobbies. 8. Aunt May and Chris Cooper imitated the telephone dial tone together over the phone, with a strange sense of joy. 9. [Puppet Life] The crew enters randomly. 10. You are what you love. (9.5/10)

    Laroche: Point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid look
