Recenzja Filmu “Being like John Malkovich”

Craig Schwartz is going to lost his mind.. he is tired, he’s got no money, any passion, any way.. He starts a job of a clerk in a small company “LasterCorp” He meets there a beautifull woman called Maxine, who becomes his obsession from the very beginning. From this moment he’s trying to get her heart, but when it all turns into nothing, he discovers some small, hidden doors. He goes into a corridor behind them and he is being involved into a dark tunnel. This tunnel is an unlimited enter to an unusual experience called John Malkovich.. The man gets somehow into his mind, and from now on he is like John Malkovich himself…but he can be him only for 15 minutes, because than, he is being dropped down in the near of the New Jersey highway..

This is an unusual film. It’s not like most the films produced in Hollywood, like “they killed him, and he got away”. No, it moves other problems of the society. When I watched this film already, I thought of the sense being human. Is it possible, that other people can get into others mind? What kind of world would it be, if we could invigilate our minds when just only wanting to do it? Would it be a free world? I don’t think so.
This film moves our thoughts to go straight into the feature, and makes us wonder, about our own life. The film has got also a second meaning for me. It makes me realize that all people are dependent to other, and we are a one big species, that, thoughts are similar. People are dependent from others, and we need a second person to be happy. That’s why the film was produced. It makes us wonder, if we aren’t to much dependent from others, if we are free. These are the questions we need to ask ourselves. I liked this film very much, because as I said, it was something different, and something very moving.
