In Reply to: Agreed. Adaptation was pissed away in the last 15 minutes . . . posted by albee33 on March 21, 2004 at 09:49:39:
IMHO the last 15 minutes is the whole point of the film.

No, you need to see the whole thing, which leads to the last 15 minutes.
Sorry, I realize that many folks really like this film, but like our experience with Kaufman's most recent script (ESoTSM) it did very little for my wife and I and most other folks who saw Adaptation at a film party last year. Note: Friends were requested to bring over one or two films they really liked and if it hadn't been seen by the majority of folks present we'd vote and then project it on our 6' screen with our then-new DLP projector. One person brought Adaptation; since no one had yet seen it we selected it for our first screening. As it turned out, the fellow who brought it ended up being one of the few among 15 or so folks who enjoyed this film in spite of several fine performances by cast members.AuPh
I did get that the movie was a spoof on big budget, cookie cuter Hollywood films. I think my prob with the ending of Adaptation was that I was exhausted by that point. During the film, Kaufman got caught up in in being clever to the point where it became it became a distraction. By the time the ending came around, I already had more than enough of his "insights" on Hollywood. Adaptation seemed to be less about entertaining than about Kaufman exercizing his ego. I'm all for a little less "Hollywood entertainment" at the expense of content, but in this case I thought it was overkill..............Paul
