The title is too long.

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2004)

Trite comments aside, the movie is amazing. Its concept had me intrigued from the trailer, and wondering if such a film could be made. Some of you will not follow the movie; find it boring or confusing. The title is way to long (I actually screwed it up when buying my ticket). But that's OK, its a great film. This is the film in summary. (NOT A SUMMARY OF THE FILM)
*Writing/Script/Story: The best part of the film. It is a writer's movie and makes full use of Charlie Kaufman's writing ability. You will, at the end, feel as though you knew the characters as people, not actors. It will become very confusing if you don't pay attention.
*Acting: Jim Carrey is an introvert, and you believe it. Kirsten Dunst and Elijah Wood aren't developed enough for you to get past 'MJ' and 'Frodo'. And Kate Winslet does a double personality flawless. [You'll know the part]
*Cinematography: Choppy, almost amateur-like. The shots are framed amazingly well, but border on the film student side of creative. Wonderful use of focus to capture 'fading memories'. And the special effects/surrealism within the memories are true to the fickle nature of remembering. (Really well done too)
*Editing: Confusing at first, but at the end everything will make sense. I personally would have extended the opening scene just a little farther to make it easier to follow for the common moviegoer. But still, for the complexity of the concept it couldn't have been better.
*Overall: Great movie. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to think about what they're watching. Probably not a good date movie, if you just want to make out in the back.
