Abstract

Adaptation, a film with Nicolas Cage acting the leading role and Spike Jonze as the director, carries off abundant prizes upon being released. This paper takes this film as an example and discusses Gilles Deleuze's film philosophy from three levels: time, latency and presentation. In the film, "time" keeps a possibility of openness and divarication and it is called "non-sequential time" by Deleuze. The philosophy of time in film makes us pay attention to the status of and changes in life itself. Adaptation is a generative presentation film, trying to tell us perception, emotion, memory and imagination in the generative and changing world and "what the world might be". Thereout, images are seen as the "body" of spirit and thought, which lies Deleuze's philosophical meaning of time and images.
