A fantastic story told by Charlie Kaufman

There are as many scriptwriters in the world as geniuses and geniuses, but when you hear Charlie Kaufman's name, you feel a slight tingling in the pit of your stomach. It's never easy. There's no way I'm going. What he creates is a world so outlandish that everyone says, ``It's impossible to make a screenplay like this into a movie!'' These are all things that an average movie director would get seriously burned if he messed with them carelessly.

Therefore, the emergence of film world darlings such as Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry was essential for making his genius known to the world. The films that were born in this way, `` Being John Malkovich '' (1999), `` Human Nature '' (2002), `` Adaptation '' (2002), and `` Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind '' (2004), all became works that shook the film world. Fresh in my memory.

Thinking back, when we first saw these works, we were simply astonished by their unparalleled imagination, and had no choice but to describe the world of their works as ``unique.'' However, now, 20 years have passed since Kaufman's debut as a film (screenwriter), and when we look back on its structure, we find that there is a rhetorical ``switching of person'' and a ``between fiction and reality'' that only he could achieve. "Reversal", and furthermore, we are made to realize that at its root, "the struggle of expressing and creating" is clearly engraved.
