I watched this film on Friday night and it was so good I had to write a piece on it today!
Written by Charlie Kaufman. The Oscar nominated screenwriter who has delivered such confusing films such as Human Nature, Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. He is probably looked at as one of most original and thought-provoking screenwriters working in Hollywood today.
Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind, staring Jim Carey in his first serious role. The plot is quite simple artist Joel (Jim Carrey), discovers that his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had him erased from her memory, decides to have the same procedure so he can get over her ... only to fight the process once it starts.
So, Joel and Clementine strive to hide in his memories in a place that has not been mapped on the computers so that when he does wake, he will still remember her. These hiding places are painful or embarrassing memories, the kind that we hope never to remember.
There is a message in this film that really hits close to home. If we do attempt to erase a person, time, place or event from our minds then we do tend to erase the good and bad. Sometimes we need those bad memories so that we can see the good ones also. It is an amazing thought and an amazing film.
