Being John Malkovich (1999)

Its movies like these which seem to make movie making simple. It centralises around a simple idea that has never been thought of before. That idea is then taken and wrapped in realistic absurdities and realistic dialogue. The characters all have their quirks as individuals and make their own mark in the course of the film. It is so skilfully done that it seems simple. Anything approaching it, however, comes off as a cheap knock-off of the same idea. 

My opinion of the film? It's brilliant, excellent, and all those other words reviewers use. But this time, I mean it.
