Completely Bizzare

Being John Malkovich is easily the weirdest movie I have ever seen. It is completely bizzare. The story is more original I think than anything since the beginning of cinema when well everything was original.
Charlie Kaufman has written three near classics called Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Being John Malkovich. And this Being John Malkovich is the best by far. And although it doesn't have the best performance of the three which is held by Nicolas Cage for Adaptation it has the second best in that of John Malkovich, who plays himself and a bunch of other himselfs. The script is one of the best ever made into a film. It is flawless with great characters and dialogue, not to mention the plot. The direction is also wonderful as are the visual effects. The one big thing I didn't like about Being John Malkovich is John Cusack who although much better than usual still can't give a good performance.
