Being John Malkovich (1999)
After years of story telling, after running out of ideas of story telling, they had come up with yet another weird movie! It can be described as a fantasy comedy drama. In the typical American fashion, everybody is yearning for the elusive love, looking here, there, everyone, near and far, in same and opposite sex!
A down and out puppeteer, Craig Schwartz, (John Cusack) is pestered by his uninspiring animal crazy wife, Lotte (an almost unrecognisable Cameron Diaz) to get a job. Using his dexterity skills, he gets a job at an unusual office with a four feet ceiling as a filing clerk. In the course of his job, he discovers a dark room which is actually a port into the mind of a famous actor, John Horatio Malkovich.
One by one, Craig, Lotte and a colleague, Maxine whom Craig has the hots for, use the port to stay in Malkovich's mind for 15 minutes. It starts a comedy of confusion where the sexually deprived Lotte finds new true love in the form of Maxine through John Malkovish's body. Meanwhile, John Malkovich is heads over heals over Maxine and so is Craig.
At the same time, Craig's bosses are some kind of immortals who use people's body as vessel to continue their lives.
An quirky but entertaining one. Not your usual fare.
