Did "Being John Malkovich" (a movie) INSPIRE one Landlord's 9 "Micro-ceiling Apartments" in NY Building! Video
POLL: "Being John Malkovich" (the movie) was....
 ...a possible "blue-print" for greedy landlords. Amazing!
 ...one of the most imaginative films to come along in the 90's.
 ...a fun comedy for the "dark" subject of mind-possession.
 ...one of John Cusak's and John Malkovich's best films.
 ...too "out-there" to be entertaining.
 ...Something I hope I never experience for REAL.

One of my favorite films is in mainstream news today with
a very bizzaaaarrrr story that seems "inspired" by the 1999
cult classic called "Being John Malkovich."

Here's the news link:

SPOILER ALERT:
Youtube trailers show the original clips about Floor 7 1/2 where struggling
new businesses rented cheap New York "micro-offices" and where John Malkovich
(a real actor's name if you didn't know) applies for a job. John Cusak's character
unwittingly discovers a tiny door behind one of the filing cabinets which leads
to a PORTAL into the mind of John Malkovich. A person going through the portal can
"be John Malkovich" for up to 1/2 hour. Cusak and his partner (a co-worker) decide
to "sell rides in John Malkovich's mind" which backfire in this classic comedy.

Clips from the movie:

3 Minute duration. Number 7 1/2 Floor has "micro offices"
in the movie "Being John Malkovich" (1999.) Great flick!

Official Trailer with John Malkovich and Charlie Sheen
in "Being John Malkovich" (strange conversation about John
being possessed.)

Unfortunately, the majority of the apartments were rented
to folks who are in the country illegally. They have been
evicted by the city. Let's hope there were no PORTALS in
their apartments.

These guys MUST HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE...it's just too
strange to make apartments from EXISTING CEILINGS!

An obscure movie inspired a greedy Chinese man to exploit people for money?

I don't think so.

Skeptical (that creating "micro-apartments in an established
New York City apartment building") could be INSPIRED by a
fictional movie?

Think again! There a dozens of threads on GLP (you can use
the "Adv.Search" option at top right of this screen--use
either Prediction, Predict, or Predictive Programming) to
search for them. Some are under the term "predictive programming"
since some theorists on films believe that "secret messages"
can be hidden in plain sight in the drama of a movie.

Here's one example I found that was all the way back in 2010:
Thread: ***URGENT: PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING IN PSY-OP FILM "KNOWING": OIL RIG EXPLOSION AND SPILL!***

You can find dozens of others (including a couple I hosted.)

So...it's really NOT that far out to think this idea could
have been taken from the plot of the Malkovich film.

A film that grossed a total, including foreign box office of about $9 million dollars of $32 million overall wasn't seen by enough people to "inspire" anyone.

One of the most poorly imagined and executed films of all time. Right up there with "Plan 9 From Outer Space"...
