Being John Malkovich
Spike Jonze, 1999
???/5
Hey y’all! Have you ever looked into the mirror and thought, I want my brain to ‘splode right now? Have you ever wanted to be mindfucked to the point of all-systems-shutdown? Well, I’ve got the perfect film for you.
So… I mean, it was written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Spike Jonze. It’s simple math, really. Weird + Weird = WWeeiirrdd. I’m still deciding what I think of it. There are so many layers, so much previously un-thought territory at play here that I can’t help but just gawk at the fact that someone actually had the mind to come up with this. But with that said, it’s pretty fucking brilliant! The idea of inhabiting someone else’s consciousness is insane in itself, but add losing your own sense of identity in the process and using that consciousness for immortality to that whole mix and you’ve got a film. Now, to make it Kaufman and Jonze-y, just add puppets, chimpanzees, John Malkovich, portals, and half-offices.
What in the royal fuck.
Sidenote: I love Catherine Keener and she is a knockout in it.
maymun olduğun için ne kadar şanslısın bilemezsin. farkında olmak gerçekten çok büyük bir bela. düşünüyorum, hissediyorum ve acı çekiyorum.
