now Craig adept himself to control john's mind completely.Lotte loose herself with help of her pet chimpanze.this was also funniest scene of movie,how a chimpanze think back his childhood tragedy in flashback.Lotte told everything to maxin but it doesn't bother maxin as Craig has got the complete control on john's body.Lotte felt betrayed and went to Dr.lester which reveal her another secret about portal.
after that story moves eight month forward and another totally unexpected new turn come to the story.actually story took a new turn in every 15 minutes of the movie.this movie have every thing that you expect from Charlie Kaufman.
director spike jonze did justice with the script.i think it was very difficult to direct such a different script.there are the elements of absurdity,fantasy,surrealism and also the characters have so much depth and very difficult to portray specially of maxin who was a beautiful ,confident women but very cold and insensitive form inside.Catherine really did the great job.she was wickedly funny,confident and beautiful.all the three characters loved her but she used them for her own purpose.
the best thing about Kaufman work is experiencing something unique and beyond imagination which is funny and wicked at same time and also took us to all the dark side of human nature. this movie is highly recommended for Charlie Kaufman fans,his most funny and entertaining work.
