Adaptation

Tali: Adaptation follows the story of Charlie Kaufman, a wallflower and screen writer who is given the task of translating a book about orchids into a blockbuster hit. This movie reaffirmed three things I believe about all people: 1) everyone is fucked up; 2) everyone is secretly sad about something/cannot let go of some aspect of their past; 3) all anyone ever wants is to be loved. Brilliantly written and exceptionally executed, this film make me smiley and angry and I laughed and was near tears. Quite the emotional roller coaster but totally worth it. If you were into Being John Malkovich," I highly recommend Adaptation - this film isn't quite the mind fuck but is definitely interesting and is certainly unique. You also won't realize just how much you like flowers until you watch this!

Leo: Adaptation is Charlie Kaufman writing about Charlie Kaufman writing about Charlie Kaufman writing about some fucking flowers. It is very clever and funny and is definitely one of the most interesting and unique movies I have seen. If you've ever written or tried to write a script of any kind, you will appreciate this movie a lot more. You will know the feeling and how he actually isn't exaggerating any of the difficulties or feelings involved. You see some boobies too :)
