Idk what it was this time but yeah no I think this is my favorite nicolas cage film. It qeustion what love is, anxieties as a writer and just an all around best nic cage performance put to screen.
Every character is engaging to follow and i think what makes this film so special is timed way to reach the audience and how relationship and self love means to us as people.

Charlie Kaufman is a confused L.A. screenwriter overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy, sexual frustration, self-loathing, and by the screenwriting ambitions of his freeloading twin brother Donald.

The lives of Kaufman, Orlean's book, become strangely intertwined as each one's search for passion collides with the others'.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dizzying meta-narrative about a screenwriter failing to adapt a book about obsession while his own life descends into beautiful chaos. Kaufman crafts a film that collapses the boundaries between storytelling and living, where the search for meaning becomes the story itself.

this movie is special.
its a biopic but also fiction at the same time and i think thats beautifull.
charlie kaufman puts his struggles as a writer to excellent use,i really relate to having allot of self doubt and anxiety so that makes the movie all the more incredible.
i think im ugly(i still think im not that good looking btw),stupid and so does kaufman.
the film has amazing character work and performances.
nic cage as kaufman is probably my favorite nic cage and favorite performance of all time.
i think the third act for how much of whiplash it is because its a contrast to the rest of the movie,it works really well tho because it doesn't bore me and it much emotional weight to the film.
double the cage,double the greatness and double the tragedy
Double the nicholas cage,double the fun.
Seriously i love that this movie is about a writer struggling with making a script and his life because hé is anxious is epic
