The whole movie was very interesting. The best image in the movie was when John Malkovich went inside his won mind. While inside, he saw a completely bizarre world that had only John Malkovichs in the world. It was very excited to see what the world was going to look like before he crawled into the portal. When Malkovich escaped his own mind, he was completely freaked out. That whole scene was very clever and interesting.
Editing in the movie was very crucial.
