A line touched me

The world is so huge that people are always getting lost in it. There are too many ideas and things and people, too many directions to go. I was starting to believe that the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size. It makes the world seem not huge and empty but full of possibilities.

not everyone can understand the share of obsession
obsession is a gift
this gift to make you make you face some stiff popular topic when you make a loss There is no way to be happily with everyone,
but this obsession gives you great happiness and
happiness than all the pain you got before losing

    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

  • 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".
