I haven't watched Nicolas Cage play such a good film for a long time. After watching Ghost Rider, I almost despair of his film. . . But maybe the success of this movie is due to the screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. Recently, his screenwriter Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is also very popular, very good. What’s interesting is that the role played by Nicolas in the play is also called Charlie Kaufman. He is a movie screenwriter who hates himself and cannot communicate with his closest twin brothers. The bottleneck of work and the failure of feelings came one after another, which almost made him collapse. . In order to adapt a bland book with no ending into a script, he got into trouble, and his twin brothers helped him finish the script and wrote a wow them in the end ending. The peculiar thing about this film is that the film itself, Nicolas's script, Susan's book, and the real life in the film are intertwined. It seems chaotic but clear. There are many good lines in the movie, some excerpts:
If you'd really loved something, wouldn't a little bit of it linger? Evidently his finishes were downright and absolute. He just moved on. I sometimes wished I could do the same.
It's easier for plants. They have no memory. They just move on whatever's next. But for a person, adapting's almost shameful. It's like running away.
There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size.
Life seemed to be filled with things that were just like the ghost orchid. Wonderful to imagine and easy to fall in love with but a little fantastic and fleeting and out of reach.
That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you.
PS Meryl Streep The narration is so good, I remember I bought the film tape of Out of Africa in my freshman year, and I fell in love with her
beautiful voice at that time, ha ha. . .
