"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 passionately about something, is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size."

Although 2002's Adaptation is based on Susan Orlean's nonfiction book The Orchid Thief, it's far more than that label implies. While the screenplay by Charlie K... read more

Adaptation is another unusual and deep story that is hilarious and dramatic when it comes to twists and effective consequences. Adaptation is a film that is rather bright and funny regarding flowers and other plants but is very weird because of the way this film is filmed and produced. The story attracted my attention the most as well as the unbelievable ensemble cast. I loved this film a lot beca... read more

I already saw this movie, in fact, I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released, but since it was such a long time ago, I was really eager to check it out again. In fact, I do remember quite well when it came out. Indeed, back then, ‘Being John Malkovich’ had become a big cult-classic but, to be honest, even though I did like how wild and original it was, it didn’t completely conv... read more

Schizoidsudaca posted a review 1 year, 9 months ago

“Echándole un vistazo a las tendencias narrativas de actualidad, es fácil llevarse una gran desilusión con el pobre y barato tratamiento que se le da a la meta ficción. En la era de la referencialidad, autocritica, y autoconsciencia, desconcierta el cómo estos elementos sean, más que herramientas que constituyan la carnita de una obra, meros puntos de venta que le permitan decir al espectador "¡hey, entendí esa referencia!". Es debido a esto que cosas como "Adaptation", de las mentes de Spike Jonze y Charlie Kaufman, aparezcan como algo sustancioso. Enmarcando su narrativa en un festival de intratextualidad, nos topamos frente a un trabajo reflexivo e irreverente que, en su autoconsciencia, comenta sobre aspectos acerca de la creatividad, el arte, y la experiencia humana.
