Eternal Sunshine...
an experience that leaves an indelible mark, thats eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. here follows, a 'feel review' of the same.
i loved it. it starres jim carrey and kate winslet,and they are both awesome ( and i am a fan of neither). Its a love story gone awry and about how some forces are just unbeatable, no matter how hard you try. it is more a play than a movie in its style of the screenplay and acting but the fluidity of the movie has to be matched with the fluidity of the sets and therefore, cinema as a medium is the only one to do justice to it.
i think its a daring attempt and therefore needs to standing 'ovationed'. loved it. loved it. loved it.
cant even begin to describe the storyline cause its not an episodic movement, its a central theme styled movie. its about how two people try to run as far away from each other only to realise that all they want to do is to be around each other but how impossible that is now...and the attempt to desperately undo all the mind miles that they have put in between each other cause no matter how sad they were together, beneath all that sadness and muck lay the foundations of a genuine relationship - something thats really hard to find and much harder to keep.
maybe, none of this makes sense and maybe so wont the movie - but there are parts of it that are as real as you and me and everyone around, and thats why you sit through it all.

Yet again Jim Carrey proves that he is as fantastic at a serious role as he is at comedy.
Though I think Kate is not as good as the director would want her to be, she does a convincing role of someone who has hit a roadblock in an affair and needs out.
What about the movie strikes a cord is the fact that when one attempts to forget people it compulsorily involves forgetting a part of oneself which makes it as difficult as it is. (Something from the matrix that fits “you will realize that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.”)
The director Michel Gondry has a history of making movies having amazing and yet a little difficult to understand scripts and has not let us down on this one. He has also directed a bit by the name “The Work of Director Michel Gondry” which I still need to see. He is coming up with “Master of Space and Time” which I am waiting for. (the plot is “Two mad scientists discover a way to control reality”)
And finally what I started this with, 'a comment' :)
This a good first time attempt.
Nice description of a movie that is this hard to describe. Looking forward to seeing more such reviews.
I have diver ticulitous so I can't eat popcorn anymore. I went to this movie and left before it ended because I could not have popcorn and bon-bons just don't do it for me. Ciao.
