Being John Malkovich--still relevant 6 years later?

I’ll bet it’s a relevant example to people looking for a low-overhead business opportunity.

And I only saw “Being John Malcovich” once, when it first came out. It may or may not hold up as a film. But at the time I thought it was a fascinating example of movie science fiction.

BJM wasn’t the best movie ever made or anything. It was original, though, in its exploration of a universal theme, but that originality had nothing to do with it starring a real star. It was all in the writing. For me, that’s a big deal, and enough to make a movie worthy.

I agree with this, and most of the post, except that I didn’t think The Truman Show was that good.

I loved BJM when I saw it (twice, both in the theater), as a rare widely-distributed film that dared to have such bizarre concepts. I also thought the performances from all the actors were excellent.
