Abstract
My primary aim in this paper is to follow Spike Jonze’s 1999 film Being John Malkovich through its exploration of subjectivity, clarifying its insights with the aid of current philosophical work on the topic. Hopefully, this will enhance our understanding both of subjectivity, and of the philosophical relevance of the film. A secondary goal of this enquiry is to employ the film as a case study in film-as-philosophy, discussing the nature of its philosophical credentials.
