I love how Chris Cooper won an Oscar for playing an eccentric botanist whilst the majority of his other roles have been fathers, government officials, millitary guys and hard-asses.

Charlie Kaufman artfully tackles huge, existential topics, but in many of his movies he has these sublime scenes where he peels back the artifice, just for a moment. His films are definitely transformative experiences.

I always get teary-eyed when I see this scene. It is so incredibly beautiful and as an orchid lover and collector, I feel that it clearly illustrates the beauty of these magnificent plants and the amazing creativity of nature to people who aren't orchid lovers. It is able to give regular people a glimpse into an orchid lover's heart and for that, I cannot thank the makers of this movie enough.

When his character later goes on to say he was “done with fish”, he’s essentially saying that he is no different than one of the bees. He made love with his ‘flower’, and once it was over, that was it (“done with fish”) - onto the next flower..

Amazing scene, stellar writing, stellar acting...but can we give a moment to the direction? The choices of where your attention is directed line by line? And that insane flower / insect footage, which has Spike Jonze's DNA in every frame. This movie is totally a sum-of-its-parts experience.

Point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid look exactly like a certain insect so the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul mate, and wants nothing more than to make love to it. And after the insect flies off, spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it.

Those bees that look like the orchids they make love to: all they do is follow their heart... all they do is what Nature made them to do, and they do it without any knowledge but love. Nature is wise, wiser, wiser than any of us. The great scheme unfolds when we follow the heart. Do that, is all. It's why you were born. Symbiosis is the principle of what endures.

Yes it is true, he had hypothesised that some sort of insect/moth had to exist, with a long enough proboscis to be able to pollinate this particular Madagascan species of orchid. He never discovered it in his lifetime, but 20 years after Darwin's death, the moth was discovered. It's a very famous story, and it illustrates how amazing and symbiotic nature really is.
