SEE THIS MOVIE (might be a spoiler)

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2004)

If you've ever felt the shivers of a new relationship then this movie is a must! This movie is an eye opener, in my opinion, for people feeling a little iffy about their current relationship. Especially if you really love the person you're with and they are just getting on your nerves a bit. As you know the story goes that Jim Carrey wants to have Kate W. erased from his mind because she has already done this to him. J.C. undergoes the procedure and that's where most of the movie takes place, in his mind. During these shots, there is acting and there are lines that will just tear you apart. Such beautifully written verse portraying a man desperate to hold to just apiece of memory of the girl that he once loved. You can feel the agony and emotion during every memory. Jim Carrey runs around like a madman trying to hide Winslet's character, just so when he wakes up he'll at least have a fragment of the memory of her left. The problem is that with this procedure everything must be erased. And even though there are all the bad memories of broken relationships, suffice it to say when you dig deep enough you remember those good ones when you once were in love. There is a line in the movie, and although many stuck with me, this one nailed it. Jim Carrey is talking about the first encounter between himself and Kate and he says, "I saw her there on the beach in that orange sweatshirt that I loved so much but I would grow to hate.' Maybe not an exact quote, but close. When you fall in love, everything is so perfect, your partner's style, the way they laugh and even eat. But as time passes, sometimes you grow so deeply in opposite directions and you're interest gets lost with the time. Codependency keeps those relationships fueled though. But imagine if you could have the person's memory erased from your mind, such a quick and easy way out. What a concept. Beautiful movie... must see on the big screen, don't get stuck crying alone at home.
