What about John?

Rating: 3/10 (23 August 2009)

this movie is a great example of how being illogic can be mistaken for being original... i mean if u ignore all the crazy stuff which makes the film interesting and get down to the plot, you'll see a very silly made-up love-story about a bunch of people who don't care about each others privacy, or anybodies. There's nothing new about the idea of seeing the world through somebody elses eyes or taking over somebodies body... i mean that's horror movie stuff if u want to name it.
The looks and dialogs of the movie are definitely unusual but it still doesn't feel really original to me - that's mostly because the oddness really gets shoved "in your face" it's supposed to be really weird and somewhat pointless and u can feel it.
All the topics that it could have touched are instead totally ignored or even made fun of. I mean this could have been about voyeurism, identity so many philosophical ideas... instead it is plain about: "Beeing John Malcovic" while at the same time pretty much ignoring who the real John Malcovic actually is... i mean he's the one i feel with most of the time, his life being destructed in a horrible way. The others being ignorant about the person they're taking over were simply boring to me.
Of course there is no denying that this is a movie which provides a different point of view and can make people wonder... but i'm afraid it's just too flat to really make somebody think...
