everyone likes to be an impostor
Before I saw "Colour Me Kubrick: A True...ish Story", I had never heard of this guy who pretended to be Stanley Kubrick. I thought that it was a pretty interesting movie. They set it up so that many scenes look like scenes from Kubrick's films. For example, the opening scene gives the impression of "A Clockwork Orange".John Malkovich plays the impostor (and at one point, he even talks about trying to hire John Malkovich!). I gotta wonder how this guy got so many people to believe his lies, as he neither resembled the director nor knew too much about him. But he clearly convinced some people.
Anyway, I found it a fairly eye-opening story about the obsession with fame, if nothing else. Worth seeing.
This must be only movie besides "The Shining" to feature the song "Midnight, the Stars and You".
score 7/10
