Charlie Kaufman is my favorite screenwriter and he shows his genius and ability to expand the world of writing and overall filmmaking with his uncompromising originality. My favorite film. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a great movie the first time and an even better one after every watch. Kaufman has the ability to make film so incredibly nuanced that after every rewatch your enjoyment doesn't dissipate but in fact it makes you love the film. I don't want to make my review an essay. But this masterpiece was written by a man who can perfectly balance realism and surrealism in writing. And it angers me that people like him don't get that much work on there table because they are actual creative original minds that care about the craft of filmmaking and don't just conform to a Hollywood sellout. Kaufman is like an even greater modern day Woody Allen minus all those controversies.
