Perfect. For me. No heroes and villains. Just flawed characters who are affected by the circumstances. Friedberg and Selttzer, pay attention. We are not lauging because Craig farted. We are not laughing becasue Lotte and Maxine suddenly break into a dance sequence. We are laughin...( read more)
Original. The cast was perfect for this film.
I would say this is a must-see.
Lotte Schwartz: I think it's kinda sexy that John Malkovich has a portal, y'know, sort of like, it's like, like he has a vagina. It's sort of vaginal, y'know, like he has a, he has a pe...( read more)
A man who lands a job with a very strange company as a filing clerk, finds a small door in this building which opens into a tunnel which leads directly into the brain of John Malkovich. Once someone enters this door, they slide into John Malkovich's brain and can experience all t...( read more)
I really don't like John Malkovich. I don't think he can act at all. Having said that, he is very good in this at taking the michael out of himself which is really good to see. He should do it more often!
La vi hace poco y me gusto. Me recordo la historia del Aleph. Muy erotica.
Intelligent, original, funny, tragic. Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman have created one of the best films of the decade, one which gets better (and funnier) with each viewing.
One of the best movies I have ever seen - a must watch for any film buff.
Interesting, weird, must-see movie. Wouldn't it be crazy to get in someone's head? But why would anyone want to stay? I love the 1/2 floor!
Need to be watched mutiple times to actually make enough sense, a kind of Vanilla Sky light.
One of the extrangest, weirdest films ever maded, extraordinary unique movie, one of the very few movies that really surprise you, very interesting
BRILLIANT MOVIE, the best fantasy film ever.,
this film has limitless imagination, gripping story, hilarious black comedy, interesting characters.,
this film is somehow funny and serious, sad and satirical, weird and touching, all at once..
although this film is not light as othe...( read more)
Definitely among the smartest and most original comedies (and scripts) of the twentieth century. The mix between fiction and reality, as well as the performances and some unbelievable and surrealistic moments, add to this contemporary masterpiece an exquisite delight to be enjoye...( read more)
This was bloody weird..
Craig Schwartz: You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes. Then after about 15 minutes, you're spit out into a ditch on the side of the New Jersey Turnpike!
Wow-
it's smart, it's freaking out, it' s perverse.
And it's also funny.
Wow-
Kind of existentialist movie, who i'm? who are you? where i'm? where i'm going? who i want to be?
A highly imaginative and though-provoking movie that makes use of a surreal setting to explore serveral issues including identity, sexuality, conscious of the mind, etc.
I really did not enjoy this experience. The basic idea of a puppeteer going inside someone's mind, seeing, livening and experiencing what they see, live and experience, even taking control and living as them, is an intriguing idea that could throw up many, many interesting situat...( read more)
Even though there is something insane and messed up with the movie and its premise, there is something funny, tragic, and beautiful about questions it raises about the human condition. I guess that's the brilliance of Kaufman's script and Jonze's direction that are sinked togethe...( read more)
A bizarre but wonderful comedy from Spike Jonze, the king of quirky. This is also the most original film to come out in the last ten years, it's brilliant stuff. Good on John Malkovich too for treading where most A-list actors would have feared to go.
To start, John Cusack and Cameron Diaz look so ugly in this movie! And they are fucking lunatics o_o!
"Maxine" was a fucking bitch.
The movie is pretty amazing. The idea of being someone else and to control them... But I think the characters were all fucking lunatics. Dr. Les...( read more)
Funhouse of the mind. Surrealist, inventive, edifying offbeat humor, posing questions of existentialism and celebrity, creating a world of its own. Devilishly clever script premised on the fascination and consequences of living as someone else. Catherine Keener is ruthlessly funny.
I couldnt understand this movie's genre.Is this a love story or fantasy or a comedy?Actually it contains a bit much of everything.It is very funny and entertaing,it is fantastic and you can see a love triangle.Actors and actresses were very good.Espeically (as you can guess) John...( read more)
The film is a collection of clever ideas that never coalesce. The characters' lives and loves and talents relate in abstract ways, and the story brings them together without actually digging deep enough to make them meaningful. If it does, its insight is never clear. The story it...( read more)
By far, one of the strangest, yet most compelling and funny movies I have ever seen. The premise may sound silly, yet your intelligence isn't insulted. Being John Malkovich is extremely inventive and original, it's the kind of film that doesn't lose either it's brilliance or it's...( read more)
i've seen this one, it's just wacky i really respect Spike Jonze his experimental a daring style has done so much for modern cinematography he's a genius in a really not conventional way, i really hate cameron diaz but in this movie you can almost forget what a bitch she is, ever...( read more)
Love this movie so much. Amazing, funny, weird ideas and les plot XDDD A remarkable movie.
A film I really hated. I actually found it hard work getting to the end. Bitterly disappointed.
A truly wonderful film... funny, dramtaic and deep. Must see for all cinema lovers!!!
"Ever wanted to be someone else? Now you can."
A puppeteer discovers a portal that leads literally into the head of the movie star, John Malkovich.
REVIEW
Wow. It took me quite a while to ...( read more)
Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's weird premise is brought to life by Spike Jonze in this quirky indy hit. Hugely enjoyable, with a plot that surprisingly makes sense and accessible in-jokes. Kudos to Malkovich for caricaturing himself here.
Incredibly original movie! One of the best Fantasy movies I have ever seen! You may search for all sorts of reasons and points in it but on the other hand you may just enjoy it! It's a great imaginative movie!
