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.

    Structurally: three-layer vertical structure, self-nested. On the second level (the one for Nicolas Cage) there is another horizontal structure, split in half, with cross clips. Half of him wrote his own creation process (the first half of the mapping is also Kaufman himself), and the other half of this creative process has been made into a movie (as can be seen from the evolution of the universe in the opening title). Content, divided into two halves. Satire Hollywood's typical assembly line gun + drugs + cheap feeling

Adaptation. quotes

  • Donald Kaufman: Okay, well here's the twist. We find out that, that the killer really suffers from multiple personality disorder, right? See, he's actually really the cop and the girl. All of them are him. Isn't that fucked up?

  • Charlie Kaufman: Mr. McKee?

    Robert McKee: Yes.

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

    Robert McKee: I need more.
