Adaptation - 7

A great movie about the meaning of life. Are we significant at all, or are we just a chemical composition? This movie does a good job of getting across the human experience of imagination and human obsessive in our thinking process. How is that we perceive others and ourselves, and does that correspond with anything in reality and if so how and why? What is the story we are living and what of the one we are making up in our head. I like the use of narration in this movie as it gives the viewer a view into the thoughts of the character rather than having to go just on the actions. It is able to point out the disjunction that most people deal with between what they think and what they do. Overall, this movie cannot help but engage the viewer with questions of meaning, of love and life, and our own unfolding story.
