What happens when your own thoughts become the thing standing in your way? When self-doubt, overthinking, and inner criticism start running the show? And you can’t tell whether they’re protecting you or slowly sabotaging you?

 

In this Watch & Talk session, we’ll watch key scenes from Adaptation, Charlie Kaufman’s brilliantly strange, funny, and unsettling cult classic, and unpack its deeper psychological layers. The film is famous for turning a writer’s inner chaos into the story itself, exposing how negative inner voices, fear of failure, and self-destructive patterns quietly shape our choices. Through guided discussion, we’ll explore how self-sabotage actually works, why we cling to unhelpful thoughts, and how humour and honesty can make even the darkest mental loops visible and discussable. No need to know the film in advance, just bring curiosity, and a willingness to look at the strange, familiar conversations happening inside all of us.

 

Let's sit back in comfy chairs with good friends and watch scenes from a truly unique film that has a cult following until today and continues to make people think, laugh, and question everything. And, of course, let's have a fun, smart and deep discussion about our mutual journey!

 

当你的想法变成拦在你面前的那道墙，会发生什么？当自我怀疑、过度思考、内心批判开始主导一切，你甚至分不清它们是在保护你，还是在慢慢拖住你，那种感觉是不是很熟悉？

 

在这场 Watch & Talk 里，我们会一起观看《Adaptation》中的关键片段。这部由 Charlie Kaufman 创作的电影怪诞、幽默，又有点让人不安，也因此成为一部一直被反复讨论的 cult 作品。电影把一个编剧的内心混乱直接写进故事本身，把那些负面内心独白、对失败的恐惧，还有自我破坏的模式摊在我们面前。

 

在引导式讨论中，我们会聊聊自我破坏到底是怎么运作的，为什么我们会抓着那些对自己没什么帮助的想法不放，以及幽默和诚实是怎么让那些看起来很黑暗的心理循环变得可以被看见、被讨论。

 

不需要提前看过这部电影，只要带着好奇心来就好。也欢迎你愿意去看看那些每天在自己脑海里循环播放的对话。

我们会坐在舒服的椅子上，和朋友们一起看一部直到今天依然让人思考和发笑的电影片段，然后来一场轻松又有点深度的聊天，聊聊我们各自的成长路。
