“Being John Malkovich (1999), the Spike Jonzeu0026#39;s directorial debut, is an amazing film – hip, inventive, delightfully weird, incredibly funny and disturbingly serious with the gleefully absurd plot twists. Letu0026#39;s face it, that was a stroke of genius – to throw together the tragic medieval lovers, Abelard and Heloise in the street show created by a talented puppeteer Craig Scwartzh (John Cusack) with the nimble fingers but out of work in u0026quot;todayu0026#39;s wintry economic climateu0026quot;, Elijah the Chimp with the mental problems that go back to his childhood, the surreal office that is located on the 7 1/2 store of a New York City office building and a floor is four feet high. Add Cameron Diaz (Craigu0026#39;s animals loving wife Lotte), completely unrecognizable, aging and balding Charlie Sheen, cynical and practical Maxine (Catherine Keener), who had an unique experience of having two people looked at her u0026quot;with complete lust and devotion, through the same pair of eyesu0026quot;, and send them all to the wild ride inside the famous and respectable actor John Malkovichu0026#39;s brain to see what he sees and to feel what he feels, to the trip that would last 15 minutes and end up in a ditch on the side of New Jersey Turnpike.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is just the beginning…Oh, and what John Horatio Malkovich feels with all the travelers in his head and what he sees when he enters the portal to his own brain, you have to find out for yourself! What drug were Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze on?! Not even two hours long, the movie never ceases to surprise and entertain. u0026quot;Being John Malkovichu0026quot; is a fascinating and truly original film which I love and always enjoy watching even if there were never a connection with any of its characters (with the exception of Abelard and Heloise and Elijah the Chimp).”
