This is a pseudo-artistic film that seems to be literary but actually tests the audience's IQ. The story is told throughout the film, and the screenwriter makes the characters in the play constantly change their roles.

From the beginning, we see the protagonist as a screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, racking his brains to adapt a novel that a female writer has just finished. With the development of the plot and the appearance of his twin brother Donald Kaufman, the audience will find it as if the story is actually about Charlie Kaufman, a screenwriter who is describing a pair of brothers named Charlie and Donald Kaufman. , is the story of how a woman writer writes a book. But the story continued, and the plot became that screenwriter Charlie Kaufman was writing a screenwriter named Charlie Kaufman, writing a screenwriter named Charlie and Donald Kaufman brothers, how to write a female writer How to write a book story. . . This kind of loop-by-loop plot continues to develop. When the film ends, the audience realizes that all the plot development in the original story is the screenwriter's use of this routine layer by layer. However, looking back and looking at the screenwriters of this film, it turned out to be Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman. . . Confused?

Charlie Kaufman, a screenwriter genius, not only created a twin brother with completely opposite personalities for himself in the play, but also brought this character to real life. The audience has been thoroughly entertained from the play to the outside of the play.

2002 Film Critics Association Award for Best Screenplay.

Adaptation. quotes

  • 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".
