Rewarding journey!!!

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2004)

A thought provoking film so very convincing that makes you believe that the technological advancement might see the memory erasure concept light of the day.
Boy meets girl - fall in love hopelessly (that is Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet). They love being in each others company and have ball of time together. After a while the relationship turn sour to the extent that the Kate walks out of relationship, while Jim still latches on.
Jim discovers that Kate has undergone the process of memory erasure to remove all the traces of Jim in her mind. In anger Jim decides to go in for the same. What follows is an insight into the Jim's mind and the process of memory erasure. The relationship of Jim and Kate is depicted backward (obviously - removing the latest memory first and moving back to the root!) and how each bit is removed one by one. As it progresses further, Jim discovers that he is undergoing erasure process and regrets it. Now he tries to evade removal of Kate from his memory, which was hilarious in my personal opinion.
Its also worth mentioning the way memory erasure is depited on screen which is quite convincing.
Jim Carrey is fantastic and his performance is worth mentioning. Kate lives to her character of being impulsive. Elijah Wood character was manipulative and fetish but okay. I was expecting more depth to Kirsten Dunst's character. Wilkinson was okay.
After you have erased someone from the memory, what if you bump into the person you loved? How would you cope if you discover that you have undergone memory erasure process? And most important - given a chance to re-live the same situation will it lead to the same circumstances? Watch it - and it echoes in your mind for a long time to come. 9/10
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
