It should be said that adaptation is a bright line of the story. The screenwriter Kaufman wants to make a non-Hollywood film. The script is a book about the orchid thieves by New Yorker editor Susan. There are two stories in this line at the same time. On the one hand, Kaufman broke his head and made no progress. On the other hand, Susan wrote the book three years ago. In the end, Kaufman was so poor that he had no choice but to hope that Susan could give him. Help, the two stories merge into one and enter the climax part. Now it seems very simple to say, God knows how chaotic I was when I saw it, and I didn't fully understand the ins and outs until the end. Since there is a bright line, it corresponds to this very ingenious place, that is, the final resolution of the gap between Kaufman and his twin brothers, and Kaufman has found his own value along with Kaufman. Therefore, it is clear that this play is a very typical offering of Buddha by borrowing flowers.
In the comments on imbd, many people think that the ending is too sloppy, donald died like this, and Kaufman's script is just so plain. However, in my opinion, the twin brothers are actually just a method of the director. Donald is actually Kaufman's potential character, but it has not been discovered. On the swamp, donald told Kaufman "You are what you love, not what loves you", and finally liberated Kaufman from bondage and confusion, and at the same time completed the character's mission, so his death means The combination of Kaufman's dual split personality also means that Kaufman has gained a new life. As for the ending of Kaufman's script, as he said to himself, "Anyway, it's done. And that's something. So: "Kaufman drives off from his encounter with Amelia, filled for the first time with hope." I like this. This is good", and does the director himself express the same meaning?
Except for Nicholas Cage, I said he is the kind of actor with Hollywood temperament and not Hollywood style. What can not be ignored is the Oscar winner of best supporting role, chris cooper who plays John Laroche, from the description in Susan's book Knowing that he is a genius, when he comes out, every shot and every line is centered around dots. As a genius, he is very confident and unruly, always challenging and always enjoying the fun of challenges. Many strange things are said from his mouth, for example, when explaining the pollination process, he said "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." And it was from this time that Susan was deeply attracted by him.
If possible, I think I would like to watch it again. Because I paid too much attention to clarify the context before, and ignored a lot of interesting dialogue and details. There is a scene that I remember very clearly. It was when Kaufman was preparing to rewrite the script, sitting in front of the typewriter, feeling uneasy. Although he was very clear about what he was going to do, he was so at a loss, "To begin... To begin" ... How to start? I'm hungry. I should get coffee. Coffee would help me think. Maybe I should write something first, then reward myself with coffee. Coffee and a muffin. So I need to establish the themes. Maybe a banana nut. That's a good muffin. "This scene is so familiar, don't I always do it, I see a road but hesitate to move forward. Now that I have said that, I found that the oral materials on tomorrow have not been read, it is time to divert attention.
