A Masterpiece!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
A ragged collection of "special features" offered upon A Universal DVD of the estimable Spike Jonze-directed work BEING JOHN MALKOVICH includes this very short item, a piece that is simplistic to an extreme, being merely dark hour footage of a young extra player whose sole assigned task is to drive her automobile slowly along what allegedly is a portion of the New Jersey Turnpike as a scene is being shot during the original production. Speaking to a videotape wielding passenger, the woman chatters aimlessly, for the most part concerning another extra for whom she has developed some degree of distaste, and that is all that we see and hear. Without doubt, the young woman will feel delight at watching herself in action, but for others one viewing will be quite enough.
