Adaptation

Adaptation has always seemed pretty lifeless and normal to me. It's something I rarely think about. This movie portrayed adaptation as failure, success, tragedy, etc... The whole spectrum of emotions was applied to the process of adaptation, which was something I had never considered.

I generally don't like Nicholas Cage. Except maybe for comedic value in Con Air when he has a mullet and southern accent. That was pretty good. He plays a lot of tough guy roles though, and that bothers me because I have a hard time believing he is a tough guy. To me, he never seems to fit those kinds of roles. Sooo when I watched the trailer for Adaptation, and it had TWO Nicholas Cages, I was worried. In the end however, I was surprised to realize that I had enjoyed the movie. I think Nicholas Cage had more fitting roles in this movie, or at least roles that were more believable. Or maybe double negative equals positive, sooo the 2 Nicholas Cages cancelled each other out.

Anyways, I just joined the class and I wasn't sure if there guidelines we were supposed to adhere to when writing in this blog, so I apologize if this was not the kind of stuff we were supposed to post.
