Joel Barish, heartbroken that his girlfriend underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realises that he still loves her, and may be too late to correct his mistake.
Again these ratings aren't a reflection of my thoughts, but my mom's, on the latest Kathy's Korner where we watch a movie and talk about it later. She just watched and hated Eternal Sunshine
Mom: Bizarre. I-I've never done LSD but I thought i was on it. I was probably tripping heroin or something, i'm stuttering I can't understand what I saw. What's scarier is my son thinks is one of his favorite movies. I don't know who needs a shrink, me or him. The only thing I got out of it was Jim Carrey was in it. I-I-I don't know what to say, I'm at a loss of words, I don't know what I just watched. Bizarre. Put it…
Also! Remember love is dead and always has been, nothing matters and we're all going to die anyway. Happy Valentine's Day!
I’m not sure I have an all time favourite film but if I was pushed to pick one then Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind would be a strong candidate. It is such a wildly inventive and beautifully crafted film, both behind and in front of the camera, that it never fails to impress or surpise me, no matter how often I watch it.
Charlie Kaufman is the great screenwriter of his generation. His work is unique (even with a few imitators springing up), incredibly creative but also heartfelt and honest. It is the latter quality that elevates his scripts from being mere quirky curiosities to becoming the basis of some of the finest films of the past twenty years.…
Charlie Kaufman is a man I've expressed time and time again as my new favorite filmmaker for a number of reasons. From the brilliant use of high concept filmmaking, to down the rabbit hole meta playfulness, to soul crushing drama, really, he's a man of many talents and ideas. Always ready with a story and just waiting for the right chance to tell it.
I have mad respect for the man when it comes to his craft and I've been looking forward to viewing this film for quite some time. I think even dating back to before I even knew who the man was, since anything with Jim Carry always caught my eye growing up.
So what's the story he…
i love this movie but when i was 16 it inspired my high school ex bf who was really into film to manic pixie dream girl-ify me & treat me as a concept which im pretty sure is what this movie says NOT to do ......! please just let us "manic pixie dream girls" be ~quirky~ in peace!
An absolutely brilliant romantic film that traverses both the radiant and melancholic, highs and lows, of the mind. The thought of happiness only existing in balance with sadness and the acceptance of it, to better ourselves, rings so true with everything in life. Nostalgia, heartbreak, and depression are all captured very well. The creative story telling and constant attention to detail make it extremely memorable.
I honestly think I need a few more viewings to truly digest everything I just witnessed. Will definitely go down as an all time favorite. Love at first sight with this film.
Also Jim Carey is a national fucking treasure. Absolutely outstanding performance by both him and Kate Winslet.
This movie. I'd wanna forget it, just to watch it again and tear up at the end. It's so beautiful.
interesting sequel to The Truman Show!
on a slightly more serious note: i didn’t like this movie as much i hoped (but i kind of knew i would feel this way) and i think it’s mainly because of the characters. i found them boring and predictable, making the whole experience draining; i spent maybe 88% of my time waiting for things to move faster and that’s...not a good thing :(
i loved the concept though! (Black Mirror-esque in a certain way)
Assisto sempre que posso. Um forma bonita e inusitada para tratar sentimentos e ações impulsiva em meio a relacionamentos. Fala sobre olha para dentro de si e entender o que realmente sente.
