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.

    Don't know whether to call it a good or a bad movie. Meta-narrative mixes the process of adapting the script, the original novel and the fabricated plot, and since he shows his incompetence and helplessness to the audience, the final compromise seems understandable and a good one. , or a satire on the way Hollywood works. Everything seems real. At least it's novel.

    Charlie Kaufman is a genius! Starting from the opening of the film "Life of a Puppet" and Markovic’s homage to himself, Charlie has undoubtedly gone further in this drama adventure. The script embedding, the viewer effect, the constant peeking and being peeped at each other, such a spiritual journey of trying to use the script to tamper with life and infiltrate it into the script shines brightly under the stitching of several timelines. In the end, ignoring McGee's motto, it was too sublime.
