savvy screenwriter

For the first time, I felt a little bit like Kaufman. This is a movie about flowers. At first it felt like Button Funk, you know, the creative anxiety thing. It turned out later that it wasn't, it was about love. The love that belongs to one person alone, has nothing to do with others. But that's not accurate either, or it wouldn't be Kauffman. Cage is definitely one of the most nb of the actors who are still alive and still acting. I feel that the performance must have referenced Woody Allen, the little old man's nagging, sensitive, stuttering, and you know, which are exactly the same. When a screenwriter begins to finesse. To be honest, no structure is new to me now, and I am not very interested in any high-level concepts. Although the story is king, I never deny it, and I love those movies with good script and good rhythm. I also firmly believe that the success or failure of a movie lies in the story. But not necessarily a drama, it sounds like pretending, but the fact is that some movies can make you feel like a puppet after watching it, and the character you watch becomes yourself, which is ridiculous, It's comfortable too, much more comfortable than being the fuck out of yourself. In fact, I don’t have much to say, and I definitely don’t like Kaufman that much. He was like a European director, in comparison, who also wrote and directed, and Spike Jones filmed her. Kaufman filmed New York Synonyms. One is down-to-earth, the other is incomprehensible. I admit that I am not enough. But, is it really important? Are those mysterious and imaginative ones that are pretending to be forceful, expressive, shy, and restrained? In the end, Kaufman has always had a magical ability to make it feel like two hours have passed. It's been so long that I'm no longer myself.

    The first half is still not much, and the second half is a bit nondescript! You have to love what you love, it's none of your business, I decided to do it a long time ago!

    Is Kaufman learning from Jostan Judd's screenplay? I can't help but recall that when I was in elementary school, there was a time when the test composition topic was called "Difficulty". I couldn't think of the material, so I wrote it on the test paper. I encountered the difficulty that I couldn't find the material for the test composition. . This kind of layering is a bit similar to this movie, and the overall feeling is just a little clever. PS: Aunt Mei is charming enough, but Cage is still so frustrated.

    Robert McKee: Yes.

    Charlie Kaufman: I'm the guy you yelled at this morning.
