Easily the Best Film of 2004

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2005)

i had been procrastinating to see this movie for a long time and I finally got around to renting it on DVD about a month ago. I had heard about an unusual plot twist so I started watching the movie with the mind of a detective, but then I just decided to let the movie take me along for the ride. I was absolutely amazed at the intricacy of the story and how complex it is. Everyone in this film delivers a knockout performance. Jim Carrey is incredible, not only for his amazing acting, but his ability to show that he can do something else besides being a complete buffoon. Kate Winslet really nailed her part also, and really convinced me that she was truly her character, Clementine. In addition, the side plot involving Tom Wilkinson and Kirsten Dunst was also a twist i didn't see coming. Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood were also really good. Even though i knew the ending would have a twist, I totally did not expect that it would happen in the way it did, and essentially, the whole movie is a flashback. The film captures the complexity of the human mind, and plays off of the psychological effects of interpersonal relationships. It is a true cinematic gem that should be revered by generations. If you have not seen this movie, you should do so now.
