No matter how you look at it, "Adaptation", a Hollywood movie starring Nicolas Cage, is a model of maverick. Cage plays an insecure playwright who accepts a commission from a middle-aged female writer to adapt one of her books about an orchid thief into a screenplay. Cage fell in love with a female writer from the first moment he saw her. Maybe it was a secret crush. No matter how much he read the book, there was no way to adapt it into the "non-Hollywood" style in his mind. 's script. After the deadline for manuscripts passed, the clueless playwright had no choice but to turn to his twin brother, who is very different from his character, who was also the playwright's younger brother, in order to add "Hollywood factors" such as sex, violence and drugs to the script, and encouraged his brother Together with him, he conducted surveillance and stalking against female writers, and in the end, unexpectedly broke down the behavior of the female writer and the protagonist in the book, the orchid thief. So in the Florida rainforest late at night, the two brothers were chased and killed by each other. As a result, the orchid thief was killed by a swamp crocodile, and the younger brother was killed in a car accident... The
younger brother once told the puzzled brother that the reason why he was happy was that "Love what you love and don't care about the other person's feelings", this open-minded attitude to life makes him, who is also "fat and bald", laugh a lot. The elder brother cares too much about the other party's opinion of him, but lacks self-confidence. He can't even give his longing girlfriend a kiss goodbye. He can only masturbate to the pictures of the female writer in the book in the middle of the lonely night. This attitude is obviously a serious constraint on creative inspiration. As the deadline for submission of manuscripts approached, the poor playwright actually wrote himself into the script, and let the story of the script begin with a playwright accepting a commission from a female writer for adaptation! Apparently, his creative life turned into a snake that devoured its own tail.
