Being John Malkovich (1999) - Where is my Mind?

"Being John Malkovich" isn't the kind of movie that speaks to a wide range of people as the idea behind the story alone is pretty weird...

The entire cast does a great job, and I especially love John Malkovich playing himself with a wink (I'm not sure how many other actors would have done a similar job), Catherine Keener as the ultimate bitch who you can never quite figure out, and John Cusack, whose acting skills never struck me as particularly outstanding until I saw him metamorphosing into Craig Schwartz in this.

All in all, I guess it's a movie that polarizes - I have yet to meet someone who feels indifferent about it.
Chances are, you'll either hate it from the bottom of your heart, or absolutely love it. Personally, I belong to the second group. :-D

[usernameichose]

is it really so strange to think that in this universe, a place we do not know much about, that minds exist in other minds? perhaps not as we know them but someday you may experience something which reveals to you that you know very little and therefore much is possible outside of your understanding of the world.
