Pull The Strings! Don’t be afraid to be whoever you want!
Be Me or Be John Malkovich. Leave your everyday life for 15 minutes. Enter the mind of one of Hollywood’s’ most prolific actors. Then be dumped in the New Jersey Turnpike.
“Being John Malkovich” (1999), is my story, Craig Swartz, the looser Puppeteer, and Lotte, my pet – obsessed wife and, of course, John Malkovich.
The portal found in my office becomes my doom, the dissolution of my marriage, my passing into nothingness after becoming the Master Puppeteer of my Ultimate Puppet, John Malkovich.
My marriage failed because of her, Maxine(Catharine Keener).
Maxine, the love of my life.
Maxine, the love of my wife.
Maxine , Malkovich’s love.
Malkovich – a refuge for everyone – for just 200$.
Now, I’m trapped in a 7 year-old-child. Losing my puppeteer powers I’m damned to see the world through someone else’s eyes .After knowing the zenith of every puppeteer; after loosing My American Dream.
Under the tagline ‘Ever Wanted To Be Someone Else?’ Charlie Kaufman’s highly acclaimed story brings on the silver screen John Malkovich in an original role: a fictionalized version of… himself, fact that attracted the critics’ opinion upon himself.
The motion picture is heavily related to themes from Philip K. Dick’s novel ‘The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich’. This influence would later be expressed by Kaufman and Jonze couple in ‘Adaptation’ where they, again, combine fact with an outrageous fiction.
In the same time ‘Being J.M.’ illustrates both John Cusack and Cameron Diaz in a ‘homely’ posture, out of which Diaz stands forth.
Jonze’s direction, the wonderful play of Cusack, Diaz, Keener and Malkovich combine into one of the most original films of the past decade.
The Story will be retold.
