Movie Synopsis: Puppeteer Craig Schwartz (John Cusack) is having money problems, so he takes a temporary job as a typist in a large office building. One day, while rummaging through a closet, he discovers that the storage room leads to the center of the mind of actor John Malkovich (played by, you guessed it, John Malkovich). Craig discovers that entering the closet allows him to become John Malkovich for a brief spell, and in time he gets the bright idea to charge admission for the privilege of spending 15 minutes inside the mind of a well-known actor. Malkovich realizes that something strange is happening to him, but he is powerless to stop it, as strangers take over his mind for a quarter-hour at a time. Craig's wife Lotte (Cameron Diaz) eventually takes a trip into Malkovich's psyche, and she soon finds herself in love with a woman with whom he falls in love; meanwhile, one of Craig's co-workers, Maxine (Catherine Keener), on whom Craig has a crush, is infatuated with Malkovich and finds the puppeteer sexy but only when he's inside Malkovich's brain.
Personal View: This was one amazing and crazy movie. Something like you have never ever seen before. Everyone in this film was amazing and you couldn't possibly regret seeing it.
