I don't like Nicolas Cage, thankfully in this movie he did a spectacular job. Ditto Mary Streep- I dont like her but she was good here. He plays himself and his identical and very different twin- both of them screenwriters. The context of the guy who keeps moving on to different passions and the book writer who tries to keep pace with him and live the same passions voyeuristically. Its a lovely little complex story- very hard to tell what really happens and what was a 'hollywood story'. I liked the excitement and disappointment of the writer as she is looking for the rare orchid in the swamp with him. What else did I like- how real Nicolas Cage looked as a balding pudgy man who wasn't sure of himself.
