A bit of a brain burner~

I would like to take a look at these characters:

Craig: Puppet artist, in love with his colleague Maxime. Finding himself able to manipulate JM's thinking and actions for a long time made JM a well-known puppet artist and later married Maxime. After Maxime estranged from him, he found out that Lotte and Maxime were together, and wanted to enter JM's mind to win Maxime's heart, but since the entry time had passed JM's 44th birthday, he strayed into the new host's little girl Emily's mind.

Lotte: Craig's wife, loves animals, fell in love with Maxime through JM's body, had a baby with her, suspected gay

Maxime: Seduces everyone, pregnant with Lotte's child through JM's body, suspected of being bisexual

JM: A well-known actor, a lonely man, who became a skin for everyone to satisfy their desires (vanity, flesh, etc.), similar to the host of a parasite, and on his 44th birthday, Emily, the child born through his body, took over everyone's host

Dr. Lester: The real identity is Captain Mertin, the founder of the Lester company. Many years ago, he discovered the entrance to JM. In order to gain immortality, he and a group of old people controlled JM's brain, and then pretended to kidnap the pregnant Maxime with Lotte. , got into JM's brain with a group of older friends after kicking Craig out of JM's head

Emily: The little girl born by Lotte and Maxime, JM has become a new generation host after her 44th birthday

Charlie: JM's good friend, wants to enter Emily's brain with JM and gain immortality

So...JM is occupied roughly in the following order: Craig (mistaken)-Lotte (feeling)-Maxime (with LotteXXOO)-Craig (with Maxime XXOO)-Craig (long-term manipulation, in order to become a successful puppet artist)- Lester and other old people (get immortality)

Finally, the new host is occupied by Craig (in order to gain Maxime's favor)

The plot after that is that JM, occupied by a group of old people headed by Lester, enters Emily's brain with his friends in order to gain immortality. However, Emily already has Craig in his brain. . . . Could it be this group of seniors who shared Maxime with Craig?

Being John Malkovich quotes

  • Voice of Heloise (Puppet): Even during the celebration of mass, when our prayers should be purer, lewd visions of these pleasures take such a hold upon my unhappy soul, that my thoughts are on the very wantonness instead of my prayers. Sometimes my thoughts are betrayed by the movement of my body.

    Voice of Abelard (Puppet): I took my fill of my wretched pleasures in you and this was the sum total of my love.

  • Lotte Schwartz: [seeing Craig's busted lip] Oh, Craig! Honey, not again. Why do you do this to yourself, honey?

    Craig Schwartz: I'm a puppeteer.
