After the "Adapted Script" was released, many film critics were indeed confused. Unlike "Death Illusion", after reading the "Time Travel Upanishads", the understanding of the film will be much clearer. "Adapting the script" is a series of loops, and one is caught inadvertently, and then mímí sees the end of the movie vaguely.

However, "Adapted Script" and "Death Illusion" have one thing in common. People who don't understand it may fall asleep halfway through reading it, or yell at "bad movie", or be confused about "what to do". But absolutely no praise for the movie. Only by truly understanding the film can you appreciate the profound connotation of this artistic drama film.

Neil D'Arcy suddenly admired Evan Bell, not because of other things, but simply admired Evan Bell's courage to take the script, he was always challenging his own limits.

"This is a very IQ-testing movie. Aside from the director and actors, it can even be said that the screenwriter is directly controlling the movie to have a dialogue with the audience. Kaufman is obviously playing with the movie and wants to compete with the audience. In recent years, Come, most of the movies that want to play tricks go the thriller route, and many of them are difficult to justify and end in haste. This movie hides the tricks in a simple story, and it is so literary and artistic, which is really admirable.

In this film, Nicholas once again gave a classic performance, one person played two roles, and he did not fall behind at all. Nicholas's performance in this type of Hollywood literary film is outstanding. Especially in the interpretation of the role of Charlie, Nicholas gave the best performance of the past three years.

Meryl is still solid and reliable. In recent years, she has maintained that she has published works every day, and she has always been above the standard. In the play, Susan, who pursues the spirit of love and takes risks, is stunned by the power of acting under Meryl's interpretation.

To say amazing, Evan can be called on a par with the script. The appearance of hooligans, missing teeth, sloppy words, and foul language is just one element. More importantly, Evan brought out the passion in John's bones to the fullest. John, played by Evan, expresses his lines with rhythm, intonation and deep affection, fully displaying the charm of language in front of the audience. There is no doubt that John is a genius, and so is Evan Bell.

The awards season has just kicked off, and the 'adapted script' led a group of main creators, and the momentum was fierce. "

Neil D'Arcy's film review published in the "New York Times" has solved the doubts of countless audiences.

In fact, after watching the "adapted script", many viewers are indeed in a fog. What came out in the cinema was not a cheer, but a series of question marks. Grey Lennon only went to watch the "adaptation" on Saturday night, the second day of the premiere, mainly because the movie is currently only being screened, and buying tickets is not an easy task.

Grey Lennon doesn't actually watch movies very often because of his work, but this is the second time he has entered the cinema this year. The last time was because of "sniper phone booths", which is considered a rare occurrence after graduation. one thing.

Sitting in the movie theater, Grey Lennon found that all the seats in the audience were full, and it seemed that the enthusiasm of the audience was still very high. What's more, it is a little surprising that at a glance, there are not many young people, but the proportion of middle-aged people is higher than expected. Originally, Grey Lennon thought it was all songs and movies that came to cheer at the beginning. Now it seems that Evan Bell still has a certain influence in the film market. Theatrical films such as "adapted script" are not very attractive to young people, but they do not affect the attendance rate.

Soon, the lights in the movie theater went out and commercials began to play, which meant the movie was about to start.

Although Grey Lennon had seen Evan Bell's middle-aged ruffian on the poster before, but soon after the movie started, when John La Roche appeared, Grey Lennon was still stunned. It took a few seconds to recognize that this man with a missing tooth was actually Evan Bell! The audience gasping for breath was very clear, confirming that everyone was as frightened as Grey Lennon.

The first half of the film is in line with the tone of a literary film. It is relatively boring, but the content is relatively simple, and there are no too complicated parts. Grey Lennon was relieved, but when Charlie, played by Nicolas Cage, picked up the tape recorder and started recording his thoughts on the script, it was the first half of the movie. The audience's "wow" exclamation was very clear.

Grey - Lennon can not help but cheer up, obviously, from here into the fast-changing part of the story.

As the plot progressed, the question marks inside the movie theater piled up until Charlie picked up the tape recorder for the second time and said, "I'm Charlie Kaufman, old and fat, Kaufman and the producer. People are sitting in the restaurant, Kaufman is trying to win her over to write a script for him, trying to please her, sweating profusely..."

All the audience made a surprised "wow" sound again. At this time, Grey Lennon had realized that the real screenwriter Charlie Kaufman of the movie was actually looping, turning the entire script into countless The loop, and then overturn the audience's guess again and again, "teasing" the audience at the same time, so that no one can guess what the outermost loop of the story is.

Sure enough, next time Charlie picked up the tape recorder for the third time, "I'm Charlie Kaufman..." Without waiting for the next line to speak, a clear "Damn" came from the quiet cinema, and the whole cinema burst into laughter. stand up.

The first time was a surprise, the second time was a sigh, and the third time was naturally annoyed. The audience collectively felt that they were being teased by the writers. Gray Lennon was the same, he couldn't help laughing, a sense of humor that was speechless and helpless.

But if the story is that simple, everyone will understand it, and it will not be considered a high IQ. When Charlie goes to look for Susan, the story goes to the bottom of the ring, is Susan real in real life? So what happened to Charlie getting into the story of his script? Reality and script are intertwined?

Immediately afterwards, the development of the story was out of control, deviated from the previous track of literature and art, and everyone was stunned to enter the "cliché link", which ended with the deaths of Donald and John.

"Shit!" This time, almost a dozen people in the movie theater made this sound at the same time, and everyone else was stunned. What is this and what? However, before the audience can figure it out, the movie is over, and it is over!

Pit father!

However, Grey Lennon did not join the audience in swearing, but calmed down and thought about why at the end, Charlie didn't feel sad because of Donald's death, but more because the script was completed and felt relieved and gratified. Could it be that the last Charlie is the real screenwriter, and all the previous stories were written by Charlie? Including Donald, Susan, John and others, are all the characters in his writing?

Grey Lennon quickly got to the heart of the matter, and maybe it's time to go back and look at film reviews.

In fact, although the other audience members are confused, they all feel unwilling to be teased by a movie like this!

As a result, some people left the movie theater scolding "bad movies", some people bought tickets and wanted to go in for a second time, some people couldn't wait to discuss it with their friends, and some people just like Like Grey Lennon, he decided to go back and read film reviews.

The next day, Grey Lennon first looked at the commentary written by Neil D'Arcy that has been reprinted countless times in the "New York Times" in the past two days. Doubtful huò. Presumably, if other viewers are willing to read Neil D'Arcy's review, they'll be happy to be in the movie again and accept Charlie Kaufman's second tease. This is indeed a rare high IQ movie.

Immediately afterwards, Grey Lennon looked at the "movie reviews" he faithfully subscribed to, and the name of Chris Fairbanks on it was as agreed, and he wrote the relevant reviews again.

Chris Fair Punk also did not shy away from the fact that he watched the film four times before and after. After analyzing the plot and content of the film, Chris Fair Punk commented on the deep meaning of the film.

"Actually, this movie can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the process of writing a script by Charlie. During the writing process, he was affected by various influences, causing the virtual characters in the script to collide from left to right, and finally completed this high-end Hollywood. literary film.

The four characters in Charlie's pen in the movie actually have their own deep meanings, conveying the rich feelings of Charlie Kaufman in reality.

John La Roche represents a kind of enthusiasm and persistence that modern people lack, the so-called daring to love and hate, the so-called masculinity that can be put down. In his view, orchid is a metabolic process, and the meaning of life is a process.

Susan Orlin is the opposite of John La Roche, representing a vague outlook on life. She interviewed John La Roche to find out his purpose of stealing orchids It's because she doesn't believe in the nature of ghost orchids in the world, orchids are her whole motive, and according to her own book, in the end she didn't find this magical orchid, so her 'Orchid Thief', although complete, was It is a work without a storyline and without a theme. In Susan Orlin, it represents a utilitarian mentality common to modern people, and the result is the value of everything.

Charlie Kaufman represents a kind of attitude towards life that is backward, and represents the silent majority in this society, even if they understand right and wrong, even if they have very keen insight and perception ability, but because of social pressure , and had to join the ranks of the social 'majority', following the crowd, herd theory, that's it.

Donald Kaufman, on the other hand, represents putting aside one's personality, blindly following society without knowing what is right and wrong. The Hollywood horror script he concocted has been well received, which is actually a satire on the status quo of Hollywood. "

In fact, among the many film critics, not only Chris Fairbanks, but also many people's settings for the twins Charlie and Donald, including these two characters mirror the real screenwriter Charlie Kaufman himself, There is a more in-depth review.
