Being Someone else

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2004)

I must admit that being John Malkovich is just not like Being Brad Pitt or any other movie star, and that adds all that weird touch the movie has, because John is one of that weird kind of person. He is a real character.
But what the movie really showed me was the fact of being someone else, anybody else I mean, and how can we get if we find the way to be that someone else no matter who that person might be. How ridiculous do we become, as if we are always prisoners of our own destiny, how boring do we think our lives are that we are willing to give it all away just to be born again as someone new an supposedly better than us. It is a funny movie and yes, we can say a little strange, but it is human nature in the most coarse expression. And by the end those impossible dreams arrived in different ways for the different characters. For some these dreams were real for others just an illusion. But isn't that life?
