[edit] Blurb

I see the concept for "Adaptation" as having been something like this: Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is hired to write a script based on Susan Orlean's nonfiction book "The Orchid Thief," which has no plot and little character development. Charlie loves the book, but he comes to realize he can't write a commercially viable screenplay that is faithful to its spirit. Thus, Charlie sets off in a different direction—he ignores all but a small part of the material in "The Orchid Thief" and instead writes a script that focuses on a fictionalized version of himself struggling to adapt the book. This is how a meandering, discursive book where an author muses about orchid fanaticism, Florida swampland, and Seminole Indians gets morphed into an off-the-wall movie about screenwriting.
