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.

    Don't know whether to call it a good or a bad movie. Meta-narrative mixes the process of adapting the script, the original novel and the fabricated plot, and since he shows his incompetence and helplessness to the audience, the final compromise seems understandable and a good one. , or a satire on the way Hollywood works. Everything seems real. At least it's novel.

  • 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?
