A brilliant film. I empathized with Charlie's character and I love the blending of autobiography and fiction. It was strange and surreal, but also humorous and touching. And Nic Cage proves his detractors (including myself) wrong here with his portrayal of the Kaufman twins. Their relationship was the center of the movie for me. It was just beautiful stuff.

“Lo que eh llegado a entender es que el cambio no es algo que decides. No lo es para especie de plantas y no lo es para mí. Sucede y eras diferente. Quizás la distinción entre la planta y yo es que después, yo mentí sobre mi cambio. Mentí en mi libro. Fingí, con mi esposo que todo seguía igual. Pero algo pasó en la ciénaga ese día…”

Nick Cage did a wonderful job (towards the end of his "carrer") and Meryl Streep of course shines! for some reason, it seemed difficult to understand it at some points....but i got the drift

in the beginning i was very annoyed with twin character, I thought it is totally useless and redundant in the making, until i have heard the lines on multiple personality. kaufman is hilarious and mocks himself very ironically. the way the film proceeds is very witty. the movie takes on a very cliche stance and it does indeed. but subtly it is very sarcastic on all sorts of adaptations and holywood banalities.

i love how the way this movie made me think about how this was conceived in the first place. i always had the answer at the tip of my tongue.

Adaptação é o auge da piração dum dos roteiristas mais geniais que se tem por aí. Um compêndio de reflexões e situações impensáveis. Jonze é ótimo em captar a intenção por trás de cada proposta de Kaufman, das brincadeiras com a "indústria" e a metalinguagem à autoanálise. Adicione à mistura um elenco matador: Nic Cage (num de seus melhores papéis), Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper e um bando de gente digna para as pontas.

Another film that suffers from concept over clarity and narrative coherency, though in this case the Kaufman's script is deftly constructed and the characters are interesting in their varying state of flawed. I think Nicolas Cage delivers a fairly decent performance here though it is evident in the choices that followed he began what would become a continuous and steady decline into caricature and banality.

I felt exactly as Francisco did. That opening monologue came out of the screen, past my skin and hit me directly in the heart.

took me some timeto warm up to what the real premise of the film was. After an hour or so, I so wanted to get more into this comple, yet seemingly simple screenplay. I enjoyed Nicholas' Cage's performance, it wasn't really usual for me to see him in such a role, due to the fact I've only see in him terrible excuses for motion pictures such as 'Ghost Rider', but he did have some okay roles like in National Treasure. Anyways, enough of the tangents, I enjoyed this film tremendously.Although, I don't recommend it to everyone, only for the highly intelligent and those that want something 'original.'

The movie is a parody of movie cliches and asks the viewer to evolve and go beyond them. It was refreshing to see a film address that. Even when the movie felt a little too narcissistic and self-indulgent, Charlie's character notices It. Fun to see caricature of real people doing nefarious things. Secondly, I just noticed the curious full stop in the movie's title. Enjoyable and good for repeat viewings even.
