Lee Kaufman’s genius made him have too much to say. How many threads are compressed into a movie, they are entangled and rounded out a ball for use in front of people, quite a taste of constant cutting and chaos. , On the whole, it is a big round ball, mixed together, without any pretentiousness. His movies are like Bach’s music or Miro’s paintings.
But at the core of "Puppet Life", Lee Kaufman raised the question about the nature of human nature: Why do people have to hide their hearts behind such a hard shell to feel free? If someone crosses the barriers and comes behind the shell, What will happen?
If it only discusses the psychology of the traversed, then it is mediocre. If it involves the psychology of the traverser, then it has the foundation to become a masterpiece.
"This film records a certain puppet show actor Craig who accidentally discovered a hidden door and entered the brain of the famous actor John Malkovich through time and space. In fifteen minutes, he was able to control this The actor’s sight, experiencing everything he experienced, and prying into all the hidden privacy, was very exciting.
Craig returned home and told his wife Lott and his colleague Mark about his mysterious experience. Xin, they also want to go to the secret door entrance to try. Faced with the incredible fact, Lott sees this as a rare business opportunity, with a ticket of $200, try to be a 15-minute John Malkovich. This will Become a good business... "
Craig is an excellent puppet show actor, but this time he is playing a game of humans, which is inevitable.
The question is why Craig is addicted to it. Why does he have the ability to indulge his soul so much? If everyone has this ability like him, would they be as indulgent as him? Once they enter the spiritual world of others, will they involuntarily control the souls of others? Is this kind of manipulation really a manifestation of the desire to control? People who perceive that their hearts are being entered will be extremely nervous, but is Craig really their uninvited intruder?
These are very important issues, especially this last point.
I have to admit that Kaufman is wonderful, he may not have the answer, but the questions raised are enough to impress me and are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
