Casing Structure (Meta-Film)/Non-Linear Narrative

The Indian image of the orchid in the legal protection reserve is quite interesting wow (●°u°●)"

-Neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. How could they know that because of their little dance, the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense, they show us how to live. How the only barometer you have is your heart. How when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.

-You cannot have a protagonist without desire. It doesn't make any sense. Any fucking sense.

-First of all, you write a screenplay without conflict or crisis, you'll bore your audience to tears. Secondly, nothing happens in the world? If you can't find out that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don 't know crap about life!

-A last act makes a film. Wow them in the end, and you got a hit. You can have flaws, problems, but wow them in the end, and you've got a hit. Find an ending. But don't cheat. And don't you dare bring in a deus ex machina. Your characters must change, and the change must come from them.

-It was mine, that love, I own it. I can love whoever I want. You are what you love, not what loves you.

    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.

    I finally saw the original "Story", there is always love in the story, it turns out that McKee is such an old man, oh, great movie...

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".
