  "Adaptation.", apart from its inventive style, contained gre...( read more)at performances all around (Chris Cooper, Meryl Streep, a little bit of Brian Cox), but Nicolas Cage owned the heart and soul of the whole film, definitely his best performance. As Roger Ebert wrote in his "great movies" review of this film, the Kaufman twins looked much alike, but on Cage's whole interpretation (and of Spike Jonze) of the characters, the two became very distinguishable, not by their physical characteristics, but in the inner core of both that made them different from each other. Countless had been said regarding the satiric nature of the anti-climactic ending, but apart from it being Charlie Kaufman's mocking ode to film conventions, it was a symbolic sequence for the twins, representing the great results of sibling camaraderie, albeit painful results. "Adaptation." is a wonderfully conceived film about the beauty and turmoils of writing. Self-indulgence by the creator, whether it's literature nor in film, can be very catastrophic and may either make or break a film, but in this film's case, it's definitely the first.

  It is indeed one of the filthiest, if not the most filthy, f...( read more)ilms I've ever seen. C'mon, a singing *bleep* And I thought I had seen everything. John Waters has a twisted mind and he produces here a social satire that comes nowhere less from his deepest, sickest dreams, and guts. Brilliantly sick.

  I was sure to love it, but the opposite happened. A movie ab...( read more)out Keats love relationship with some girl, that never materialized because his situation was so poor, materially, that they never could manage to go further that a platonic relationship. I waited impatiently to see this movie for some months, but when finally I had the chance to see it, I sat impatiently to see the end of it; this is void of any kind of lyricism and so boring that it took me more than one attempt to see it entirely. I don't know much about the Keats's life, I know he died young and penniless, but the film don't emphasize much on this aspect, but on a lot of rubbish and weak dialog between two of the most charmless leads I've seen on the big screen recently. Ben Whishaw is really forbidding in the lead role, and his costar Abbie Cornish is so flat and passionless, that it took me 10 minutes to know I'll hate this movie, and I wasn't wrong. The poetry does not help, not even a bit, mainly because is recited in a monotone tone that was like listening financial news on radio, dull. The acting is at best average, I don't like Whishaw all that much as an actor, and Abbie Cornish is plain bad, her character does not make anyone like her, she's ignorant, unkind, not really pretty, arrogant, a liar, and a manipulative girl who would have done quite a lot to get her way, the way she began to follow Keats like a puppy was not inspiring, jut reminded me of a groupie. And the idea to make all this ladies from the 19 century all feminists is becoming an irritating habit. Some imagines in the film are really gorgeous, but that's pretty thin. Disappointing.
