An Eternal Movie for this Impressed Mind

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2004)

When I was going to write a comment about this movie, I forgot my password. It was totally erased from my mind and then I thought, what a great thing to happened since I'm about to write something about this great, awesome and beautiful movie with an also beautiful a poetical name such as "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind". But, then this could happened to anybody to forget and want to forget things of your past that have changed you in way you don't want to go on anymore. It's easy to forget small things and we usually mistake the good things and good memories of our life for small things. And only the bad things seem real important and occupy as much as we have in our brain's archive space.
We where late for a movie that we were supposed to watch, instead we thought: "what about this other movie...Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind", then we got tickets for this strange movie we had no clue about. My brother got the tickets and also got all confuse because of the name and asked to the girl who was selling the tickets: "give me 3 tickets for Sunshine of the eternal memory of the mind....well you know what I mean"-he said- it was actually very funny.
So we got there, we waited and the movie started. Charlie Kaufman was involved and I'm a big fan of him, so I said to myself: "this is going to be a strange but very worthy ride..." And it was, because the movie moved me, it took my feelings and it abused of them making me laugh, making me cry, having me so worried about everything, sometimes, so uncomfortable but yet so connected to this story. My mind went so far that I got to be part of Joel's memory, I don't know, but definitely he and clementine now are a part of mine. in a moment I thought this was happening to me. Before the end came I knew what was next, I was there...suffering along Clementine and Joel. I had flash backs from everything in my life and then it ended. I have to say I wanted to see even more but it was enough, again my dearest Charlie had done it: "He stole my life, took my feelings and showed me the most radical but real of Human Nature". And I thank him for that.
Gondry and Kaufman are as genius as Dr. Howard Mierzwiak and his revolutionary invention: "the bad memories erasure". But just now, after watching the movie I think I would never follow such a procedure. Memories are life given. Because they change us, they create what we are in this illusionary present.
During the movie I got to love Clementine (Kate Winslet), the memories Joel had about her, the good things he had in his mind about this special girl were so pretty that could inspire any troubled couple to work things out. I must say that Kate Winslet it's a stunning actress and for this movie she was just perfect and Jim Carrey it's not only a comedian, oh no, he is also and mainly an amazing actor.
