Anybody who has ever wanted to become a filmmaker or wrote a screenplay before can probably relate to this movie.
Adaptation is a unique spin on real life events surrounding Charlie Kaufman's psychological struggle to adapt The Orchid Thief into a feature length film and his journey of self discovery to becoming a better screenwriter and his intertwining story with Susan Orlean the author of The Orchid Thief book played terrifically by Meryl Streep, and the Orchid thief himself John Laroche played excellently by Chris Cooper. Nicolas Cage gives his best performance(s) as Charlie Kaufman and his polar opposite twin brother Donald Kaufman.
Adaptation features sharp commentary on the film industry and the struggles that all writers face as they seek new and creative ways to write stories.
Incredibly intelligent writing, sharp comedy, deep characters, and gravitas performances all come together as one in Adaptation, my favorite movie of all time(outside The Dark Knight Saga).
