Incredible.
Charlie Kaufman might just be the most genius screenwriter (I daren't say ever) at the moment. I mean, trying to adapt a book for a screenplay, not succeeding, yet in the process writing a screenplay about how you can't seem to adapt this book for a screenplay. Oh yeah, and also being helped by your not existing twin brother, and crediting him as co-writer, and being nominatad for an Oscar together with him.
Is anyone following this?
Kaufman seems to be the master of destroying the line between reality and fiction.
I kind of have a hard time saying anything about this movie, because I don't know what to say. You should just go and say it. There's nothing like it.
If you liked Being John Malkovic you wil definitely love this. If you hated BJM you might still like it. It doesn't have the absurdity and surreality of BJM. The story is just incredibly intelligently written.
Even though the movie is about how Kaufman is unable to adapt this book, he actually succeeds in doing just that in the process.
Jesus, I'm still totally stunned.
Jonze does do a very good job once again. But the direction is just outshined by the story...
