The most weird and original movie I have EVER seen.

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 1999)

And that is a good thing. From the conception of the title, to the outline of the story, down to the preview of the film - this movie, no doubt, was going to be either the stupidest creation from some pretty screwed up minds....or it was going to be pure genius, from some of today's most creative film makers.
Genius, it very well was. I mean, whose eyes would it be better to see through than John Malcovich's? Not many. John Malcovich deserves Academy recognition for this film, even though he's just acting like himself for most of the movie. And John Cusack gives his best performance yet as the man who discovers the portal to the unknown (i.e. John Malcovich's head).
To compare this movie to anything else would be impossible - it stands on it's own, and may single-handedly redefine the 'weird' movie genre (as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Die Hard" did for the action genre, and "Scream" did for the horror genre). "Being John Malcovich" is one of the top 25 best films of the 90's. To me, it was more than just a simple viewing experience - it opened up a new light to entertainment, thinking and film making. Whether you like this film or not is beside the question - you will acknowledge how much different it was than anything you have ever seen, or ever will see again.
