At the center of the case is the battered mandolin, bought from a Miami barbershop for $150 in 1943 and considered a key to Bill Monroe's stylistic development The 1923 Gibson F-5 mandolin remains locked in a vault while a Nashville court sorts out a disputed deal that would have sold it for $1 A 1923 Gibson F-5 mandolin is considered the finest mandolin produced 1 million to a proposed museum in Monroe's hometown "If you're a bluegrass fan, it's the holy grail A new trial date has not been set Monroe's Son Wants Mandolin to Be Sold Jul 12, 7:47 PM EST The son of bluegrass music pioneer Bill Monroe said Monday he wants to sell his father's famous mandolin, preferably to a museum where it can go on public display Monroe played the instrument for more than 50 years, the last time on March 15, 1996, at the Grand Ole Opry A trial had been scheduled Monday in Nashville but was delayed because of a lawyer's illness 1 million in October 2002 He suffered a stroke the next day and died later that year " The younger Monroe agreed to sell the mandolin to the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Foundation of Kentucky in Rosine for $1 The group paid Monroe $162,500 before a financing deal collapsed Monroe's lawyer, Gerard Stranch, said his client then tried to void the contract to seek other buyers "It's not tantamount to a Stradivarius violin, but it comes close," said Charles Wolfe, a Middle Tennessee State University professor and music historian "Very rarely do you have an instrument on which an entire genre was created, namely Bill Monroe's bluegrass," Wolfe said James Monroe, 63, told The Associated Press that he wants out of that deal so he can put the mandolin back on the market and pay the inheritance taxes on his father's estate "I have a great respect for my father, and I just want to see it go to the right place and the right people," James Monroe said The result is "Adaptation," in which Kaufman, played by Nicolas Cage, is so stumped by the prospect of adapting Orlean's book, that after months of frustration and procrastination, he gives up and writes himself into the screenplay But then the film falls apart in the third act, when it purposely leans on the very hackneyed scriptwriting ploys that Donald espouses and Charlie abhors And at its most thrilling, "Adaptation" exudes the same kind of trippy fun-house exhilaration that made "Malkovich" such a joy to watch Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted ) But watching car chases and shootouts and climactic epiphanies doesn't become more interesting just because the actors involved are winking at the camera "Adaptation," a Columbia Pictures release, is rated R for language, sexuality, some drug use and violent images PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 The movie knows it's doing this, and it's supposed to be cute for knowing it's doing this The structure is so pronounced, in such a Shakespearean way, it's almost a character itself In real life, Kaufman doesn't have a twin brother, but Donald gets co-screenwriting credit Some material may be inappropriate for young children Something clearly changed within the actors off screen, as well Instead, he's a complete person, strangely seductive despite his stringy hair and missing teeth â€â€? and, like the people who adapted his character from real life to page to screen, he's wonderfully alive The movie earned Kaufman an Academy Award nomination She's not so obviously acting, she lets loose and takes chances; like Cage, she actually seems to be enjoying herself R â€â€? Restricted "Adaptation," like "Malkovich," is directed by Spike Jonze, who shares Kaufman's sense of daring and vision Running time: 112 minutes It was heralded â€â€? and rightly so â€â€? for being bold and innovative, the product of a twisted, brilliant brain But Charlie becomes fascinated by Susan in the same way Susan had been fascinated by Laroche, an eccentric for whom orchids are merely the latest obsession It also earned him his next assignment: a screenplay based on Susan Orlean's nonfiction book "The Orchid Thief," itself based on an article she'd written for The New Yorker about a Florida man's obsession with finding a rare, perfect flower Confused? Just wait At the Movies: 'Adaptation' Dec 4, 9:53 AM EST This much we know is true: Charlie Kaufman wrote the screenplay for 1999's "Being John Malkovich," about a hidden portal that allows people to enter the actor's mind " From "8MM" to "Bringing Out the Dead" to "Captain Corelli's Mandolin," Cage has been better known lately for brooding rather than acting; here, in two very different roles, he lets himself have fun again, and his enthusiasm is contagious (Don't be fooled â€â€? nothing is left to chance " Susan, we learn, has her own insecurities: She doesn't know how to feel passionately about anything This is where truth cross-pollinates with mythology Kaufman supposedly was so stumped by the prospect of adapting Orlean's book, that after months of frustration and procrastination, he gave up and wrote himself into the screenplay The idea of adaptation has to do not only with writing, but also with adapting to the world, with finding something that changes you and makes you feel alive â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences It's also the best work we've seen from Streep in a long time, possibly since "Ironweed" in 1988, which earned her one of her 12 Oscar nominations Cage plays Charlie Kaufman and Kaufman's identical twin brother, Donald, who has no trouble writing a screenplay; he's a hack, churning out mind-numbing tripe about a serial killer This is the best work we've seen from Cage in the last 10 years, maybe the last 15 â€â€? 1987 was especially good year for him, between "Moonstruck" and "Raising Arizona Some material may not be suitable for children The movie skillfully, if self-indulgently, follows two story lines, which ultimately merge into each other: Charlie reads Susan's book and tries to figure out how to turn her story into a movie, while, three years earlier, Susan (Meryl Streep) interviews orchid breeder John Laroche (Chris Cooper) and tries to figure out how to turn his story into a book All ages admitted And Cooper could have made Laroche a stereotype, a freaky Floridian traipsing through the swamp, looking for a flower that may not even exist In a hilarious extended opening voiceover, Charlie berates himself for being "old, fat, bald, ugly, disgusting Three stars out of four |
