What if you could literally become somebody else for fifteen minutes? Would you use it to understand them… control them… escape yourself… or finally become the person you wish you were? Why are we so obsessed with the “ideal self”, the version of ourselves we imagine would finally be confident, desirable, successful, loved, or complete? In this Watch & Talk session, we’ll watch and unpack scenes from Being John Malkovich, one of the strangest, funniest, smartest, and most unforgettable films ever made. Equal parts surreal comedy, psychological experiment, and existential nightmare, the film dives deep into questions of identity, desire, ego, projection, and control in ways that feel bizarrely funny and disturbingly real at the same time.

Alongside the film’s wildly original premise, our discussion will explore the deeply Jungian themes running underneath it: personas, shadow selves, projection, repression, the search for meaning, and the tension between who we are and who we wish we could become. Why do some people become obsessed with living through others? What happens when admiration turns into possession? And are we ever really seeing other people clearly, or mostly using them as containers for our own fantasies and unfinished selves? Whether you love strange cinema, psychology, philosophy, or simply want a discussion unlike anything you’ve experienced before, expect a weird, thought-provoking, funny, and surprisingly deep evening full of scenes and ideas that will stay in your head long after the club ends.

倘若可以短暂化身他人，你会借此理解对方、支配他人、逃离自我，还是活成心中向往的模样？为何人们执着追寻理想形象，期盼变得自信出众、被人珍视、圆满无憾？
