 Director Spike Jonze's "Adaptation" is a fictionalized version of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's struggles to adapt the non-cinematic book "The Orchid Thief" into a Hollywood blockbuster.As his onscreen self succumbs to the temptation to commercialize the narrative, Kaufman incorporates those techniques into the script, including tropes such as an invented romance, a car chase, a drug-running sequence, and an imaginary identical twin for the protagonist.
