To tie it into Egan's The Keep, I'd say that this is an uncontrolled version of what Howard is talking about when he says, of the people in past who were more creative with their minds, "...imaginations were more active. Their inner lives were rich and weird" (47). The character of Malkovich in this film can't quite seem to come to terms so quickly with the idea that inside his mind everything is composed of him, about him, enacted and allowed by him. Having this realization thrust upon an him, he's haunted. He wants out, as Danny wants out from the keep. And thanks for the support. Every bit helps.
