Adaptation

          Charlie in the movie was more chaotic and disorderly than Harold Crick in "Stranger than Fiction". Charlie is especially concerned with keeping the film and book in unison. He wants to make a movie about flowers because no one has done it before. The progression of events gets a bit confusing if you don't pay close attention to what is going on. The screen play writing going on during the actual events was helpful because you got a better grasp of what was going on, it was an interesting contrast to see those things happening and how they got involved the way the author would want you to see it.

       Adaptation happens through the movie. There was the brothers, reversing roles through out the movie. There was the adaptation of relationship from reporter to girlfriend. There was the literal sense of adaptation with the plant adaptations. The end of the movie is awfully conflicting. When we were done watching the movie I had come to a conclusion that the movie appeared to be a movie about a movie about a book. Seems a bit complicated to me.
