I thought that this movie was brilliant. It is definately the most amazing film I have seen this year. I cant really explain why I liked it so much. Could people please contribute to why they liked it, or just anything about it that they feel like talking about.

If you liked this one, let me strongly suggest the Kauffmans' "Adaptation." Very strange, very "meta." Altogether a wonderful experience. It helps if you've read the book "The Orchid Thief," but I don't think it's necessary.


I've seen Adaptation and I agree as to its similar creative style. Other movies that have affected me in a similar way include:

Steppenwolf 1974
The Truman Show 1998
Being John Malkovich 2000
Brazil 1985
Mulholland Drive 2002

I wonder if you're mythologizing me, like I do you

I honestly hated it, but I agree that it was probably Jim Carrey's best performance.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's my all-time favorite movie. Great cast, great screenplay, good direction as far as I can tell, and I loved the cinematography.

Plus it introduced me to Charlie Kaufman, now by far my favorite screenwriter.

Charlie Kaufman is the most talented and creative screenwriter out there right now. He took a "true love conquers all" theme and made it fun.

I agree. It was totally unique and in my opinion Jim Carrey's best. It was a very creative idea with a fantasy mixed into life.
