inverted by design?
2003.08.31 14:32

Last week I watched the movie Adaptation for the first time, and last night I watched Saving Grace for the second time (the first being more than a year ago). I found that Adaptation manifests something like a designed inverted story telling of Saving Grace. Additionally, the similarities between the two movies, despite the inversions, are oddly obvious--orchids, drugs, desperation, even best selling authors.

I get the feeling that Adaptation stems from an 'adaptation' of Saving Grace.

It is also interesting to then witness the differences in approach between English 'hip' and US 'hip'--or at least the difference between the marketing of either 'hips' respectively.

Has the 'likeness' between these two movies already been discussed elsewhere?
