This Will Eternally Shine In My Mind

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2007)

This film (like Fried Green Tomatoes) is a keeper, for me, It will Always be one of my now 2 favourite films. Why? Because it really touched me. This is a film anyone can connect with. It is truly universal in my opinion. Anyone can relate to this film, as I did, in spades. As most people I'm sure, I was initially wary of Jim Carrey being in this film, as I've found him to be too cartoon like in films. But I have to say, he really pulled it out the bag for this one. In my opinion, this is his best film to date. So if you happen to be a Carrey fan, and not seen this already, What are you thinking?! I watched this film, for Kate Winslet, as I am a huge fan of hers, and her work. She's without doubt one of England's best Actors. And she didn't disappoint. Her portrayal of Clementine, was spot on, and it was her character I really connected with.
Michel Gondry is an amazing director and the techniques used in the film, are amazing, yet seemingly simple, but really amplify the atmosphere of the film.
In a nutshell, this film, will become a Classic, I'm sure. Maybe of the Shawshank ilk. As I think the following of this film has grown and grown more, from rentals maybe. Not sure.
But in my opinion, definitely THE film, that has to be in everyones MUST SEE FILMS, before they die.
The combination of Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Michel Gondry, and Charlie Kauffman, is a resounding hit for me. A++++++++++. 10/10. I'm so happy this film was made.
