Faith, Film, & Philosophy, ch. 6

Malkovich malkovich malkovich malkovich!!! I considered writing this whole blog post that way; for those of you who have seen "Being John Malkovich" that would have been funny. Ganssle takes up identity and the soul in this chapter while viewing 3 films by Kaufman. I have seen all three and remember being slightly entertained and very wierded out by them. It's hard to say what Kaufman's agenda is (if any), but one thing is clear: he cannot escape the nonreducibility of personal identity. These three films can begin a great discussion on the person and serve as a bridge to man made in the image of the living God.
