Being John Malkovich

What is to be John Malkovich? In my opinion, the best words to describe it are "...it's the idea of being inside somebody else's skin and seeing what they see and what they feel..." it was a dialogue between Craig Schwartz ( John Cusack) and Maxine (Catherine Keener) when they were talking about Puppets. It's the best comparison because puppet is a doll which is manipulated and controlled by other person (puppeteer). This is exactly what happened with J.Malkovich.

The director Spike Craig has a huge imagination,he created a portal door to a famous actor John Malkovich'es body, so eveybody became obsessed to know what it's like to be him. It was only a small part the real John playing himself, most of the time he had to play different  characters whoever entered the door, the portal key to his body.

It is very untraditional story exactly the way how I would describe the actor John Malkovich. He is very renowned in big screen plays, most of his parts are very strange and odd characters, in this one is not an exception , I really enjoyed the movie, it brings a lot of diverse, very intriguing, unpredictable and surreal. To sum up, the movie couldn't makes me blink just for a second.

Big creddit for cast,so many great actors: John Cusack, Cameron Diaz ,Catherine Keene ,John Malkovich, Ned Bellamy, Octavia Spencer. There are short episodes with Charlie Sheen and Sean Penn as well.

Enjoy!
