The movie Being John Malkovich stirs up ideas of dualism that are commonly discussed today. Our mind is not necessarily our brain but it’s a part of a person where mental processes, thoughts and consciousness occur, while the body is just a physical aspect of a person. Therefore we look at the mind and body as two separate things because in this movie the Lotte and Craig's mind were able to be placed in another person's body. We can look at it as a human body as a vessel or mode of transportation for what our mind decides to do. The concept of the portal that allows one's mind to be placed in another's and completely separated and isolated from its own body is a clear example of dualism. A human is able to have a mind and body but the two don’t necessarily have to be together, they function on their own, separately without relying on one another. To conclude we can look at the relationship between our mind and body in many different ways but according to the movie Being John Malkovich, our mind and body are separate from one another.
