"...not only confused, but entertained." nm. ***presentation SPOILER***

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2004)

This review contains a spoiler concerning the presentation of a theme, and not a plot detail.
I was expecting a sequential journey, of Carey meeting Winslet, having her erased, and then seeing them meet by chance again. What i saw was unexpected. The way in which the pre-erasure relationship was only presented through the task of remembering(That was my spoiler)) and deleting in Carey's mind not only confused, but entertained. I left the Plymouth Vue feeling slightly enlightened. the film makes you care for individuals who are experiencing something fantastical, and that for me is what sets the film apart. It is funny, it is heartwarming and entertaining, but then so is every other film. what makes this one so different is the idea that you can erase memories. it succeeds in making you feel for its protagonists and really makes you think...
what if you really COULD erase every bad memory?..
