  • Kudos to Hodgman for keeping quiet and letting Malkovich present. Hodgman provides just enough presence to allow Malkovich to react to him, so he's not monologuing, and to give the audience the illusion of participation. It might not work for a lot of interviewees, but with Malkovich it's perfect.

Only real issue is that he seems like he has discovered a very rare type of caterpillar and has decided act like he is trying to smuggle it out of the country on his face. Apart from that it was flawless.

  • There is an incredibly captivating ‘psycho element’ about John Malkovich’s charismatic character that one can’t quite pinpoint. It might be a combination of the tone of his voice, the enigmatically piercing eyes, his mindful and slightly sarcastic sense of humor coming across on his facial expressions, and the characteristically paused intonations in his phrasing. But whatever it is, it gives him a uniquely entertaining aura of mystery and a creepy coolness factor that permeate his persona and project his personal trademark. Or perhaps he just never stops acting in public and is always in character, even as John Malkovich himself. Maybe one of the reasons why the movie made so much sense. Brilliant actor.

  • I remember as a kid in the 80s seeing a PBS production of the play True West with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich. Even as a kid not especially in love with Theater I was struck with Malkovich and Sinise acting in that play and was totally captivated. I remember the next day going to my English teacher and raving about the play, Malkovich was especially memorable. Malkovich has always seemed to be someone totally immersed in the actor/artist's life, in a very authentic way.

  • I'll never forget that moment in the movie theater where I was leaning forward like I'd be able to see around a corner, thinking, 'Wow, so this is John Malkovich's apartment ..." and then I caught myself and started laughing. It's a movie about invading a famous person's personal space...of course this isn't his apartment. I felt foolish and embarrassed for being so snoopy. What a terrific movie. Then (real) Malkovich was interviewed by Terry Gross. She says, 'well, the movie portrays you as an effete snob .." To which he answers, "No, that part was right, I am an effete snob." a bit later he says, that Spike Jonze directing him said, "No, Malkovich wouldn't do it that way...." The difference between your mind and dynamite is dynamite can only explode once. What's great is the movie and its impact gets deeper and more complex and we never have to invade anyone's privacy. Perhaps it's the ideal movie. I think John Malkovich is clearly interesting and thoughtful and if ever couple of years he talks again about Being John Malkovich, it'll be the best Tom Stoppard play Stoppard never wrote. In the end? Any assumptions that I know anything personal about John Malkovich? It's none of my business. His work and thoughts about acting are not only wonderful, they're more than enough. I think the next movie Charlie Kaufman needs to write should be about how, with the exceptions of directors and cinematographers, the people who make best most interesting movies don't seem to watch them.

    • @@BuildYourOwnBass That's a very broad and kind of silly statement. There are lots of quality movies being made with just one or a couple of dedicated script writers putting artistic merit before box office success. As for big blockbuster franchise movies, that is certainly more rare, but even in that sphere there are loads of dedicated script writers who care about their output and who do their best to make the movie good. Then there are punch up people who polish the scripts, which can often lead to conformity and blandness (one liners are prioritised above characterization for example), and of course, studio execs whose job it is to not lose any money, and who usually make terrible decisions that can ruin movies. And finally, there are some "assholes" like directors who change a character name so that they can claim a script credit. Now, arbitration is the way to deal with that sort of thing, and when that system works, the correct people with get the credit. So again, your view is very simplified. Also, telling an entire group of people to fuck off... perhaps save that for white nationalists or war criminals? Or, closer to home, studio executives who use their power to harass women? But I guess being angry at minor issues makes you look cool.

    • _“Wow, so this is John Malkovich's apartment ..." and then I caught myself and started laughing_ At the time of the movie John Malkovich was living in Paris-his entire fictional persona, from his New York apartment to his ordering bath towels from a catalog, is Charlie Kaufman’s take on _our_ projection of what this actor John Malkovich is supposed to be like. It’s a hilarious commentary on how we view our fantasies of what celebrities (or near-celebrities, since no one in the film can quite place John Malkovich) as reality.
