-he has also directed famous movies such as Becoming John Malkovich and Adaptation. He has acted in a few films that were directed by friends
-Jonze has a very wide variety of work. No one work makes him stand out but it’s his versatility and approach to directing, including camera angles, colors. And choreography that makes him so accomplished. His approach is simple and clean and I think that’s what makes him able to be so versatile and innovative.
