Adaptation adapted

Charlie Kaufman wrote one of the best screenplays in recent cinema history for this movie. I try to show how "Adaptation" works.

Actually, the alligator was the deus ex machina...

Nic Cage, youre the man. I love this movie and I love your new movie "Trespass". Even when you play a seemingly weak character, he turns out stronger then everyone else. kudos! bitly. com/o7TwhG

@AGentertainment Yeah, the whole alligator scene was the deus ex machina. I also just realized Charles Darwin is in the movie because he was all about Adaptation. :)

@AGentertainment

That's what I thought as well. As well as the quote from McKee saying "You can't have a protagonist without desire".....one could argue that Charlie wants/desires to write the screenplay (his one desire that we are aware of), but does he really? So if that's true, here we have a protagonist without desire, voice-over in a movie, and a deus ex machina. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. I'd love to meet Charlie Kaufman.

I love how the movie lampshades a trope and does it anyway. Fantastic movie for writers.
