Bar and Grill. The two will be hand
ing out fliers and talking to students
about the film. Toon said students
should not be afraid to approach him
with questions.
Toon said an appearance in
“Spring Break” could have a last
ing impact for the chosen students
— whether it simply provides a
fantastic vacation or a springboard
for a movie career.
“This experience could change
their lives,” he said. “We want it to
be a memory they’ll always have.”

Adaptation
continued from page 3
into a kind of writer’s block. The more
the Kaufman character becomes ob
sessed with the project, the more it
becomes a reflection of his personal
life. Eventually, there is the realiza
tion, from both the audience and
Kaufman, that the situation playing
itself out is the film that got written,
and the one that is supposedly being
watched.
Gage works double time, also
playing Donald, the fictional iden
tical twin-brother of Charlie (who,
in further blurring the line be
tween fiction and reality, receives
screenwriter credit).
While at times “Adaptation” is
sickeningly self-referential, its
comedic overtones are mirrored by

a dark underbelly, filled with mo
ments of sudden and sheer intensi
ty. Two car accidents occur; the one
involving an explication of a charac
ter from the “The Orchid Thief’
novel (another plot strand woven
throughout the film) is intense in
both its surprise and understated re
alism. The scene itself only lasts
about a minute, but it’s one of the
most intense ones in recent cine
matic memory. Also, one of the
film’s closing scenes, a conversation
between Charlie and his brother —
probably their first serious conver
sation throughout the film — is
quite revelatory and sincere.
“Adaptation” is probably the
most honest of studio films released
in 2002. Critics have been keen on
the double meaning contained with
in the film’s title — both a literal and
evolutionary adaptation. However,

the same folks who have artificially
tried to conclude their reviews of
the film by calling it any one thing
have missed the point. There are so
many themes — inspiration, love,
alienation, passion, to name a few
— working here that what you
come out of the theater with de
pends on what you brought in.
An early scene, taking place on the
set of “Malkovich,” involves Charlie
Kaufman observing the filming while
being blatantly ignored by the crew
— actors, directors, fighting person
nel — around him. But whereas he
was invisible in “Malkovich,” in
“Adaptation,” there’s a real Kaufman
somewhere behind it all, smiling.
