Funny, unique and weird... The best film of 1999.

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2009)

Being John Malckovich is a movie that you'll never see anywhere. Not saying that you won't find it in stores. I mean that there is no other movie like it. If you've seen it, you know that it's impossible. Being John Malkovich is very weird and hilarious at times. I never knew someone could come up with such a brilliant idea. Not only is the film hilarious and weird, it's also unique. It must've taken them a long time to write this movie. The end of Being John Malkovich is rather surprising. I will bring up one performance in particular. I'm bringing up Cathrine Keener's performance. If anyone knows how to play a bitch, it's Cathrine Keener. It seems like every film that she is in she plays a bitch. She plays one in this movie also. John Cusack is of course great as Craig. I also liked Cameron Diaz, the usual, as Craig's wife. Being John Malkovich has many memorable scenes. Including one scene where John Malkovich himself goes into his mind. I won't spoil that part for you. Director Spike Jonze has found a way to make a new kind of movie. Being John Malkovich is a fantastic film with a weird cast and I think it was the best movie of 1999. Not American Beauty, Being John Malkovich.
The Plot: Craig is a puppeteer who gets a Job at Lester Corp. on the 7 and a half floor. While working there he falls in love with Maxine, a snotty woman who works there. He also discovers a portal that can lead you into John Malkovich's mind and you can be John Malkovich. This portal soon turns Craig's life upside down once his wife goes in.
