a LOT like love

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2008)

This movie is a real gem. People here that claim it's boring or even that it doesn't have any meaning (!) obviously didn't get the movie. And I'm not talking about the structure (which isn't that complicated by the way). I'm talking about the message it brings. Yes, inside Charlie Kaufman's head there's a crazy universe and I guess not everyone will be able to appreciate it, but that's not the point! It's not about the package, it's about what's inside. This movie shows what love is. Not the hot passion other movies often mistake it for. Real love. If you can't see that in this movie, maybe you've watched 'The Notebook' too much. So maybe you have to watch Eternal Sunshine again without worrying about the fact that Charlie Kaufman skips from future to past and back, or about the fact that you find Jim Carrey so annoying! Maybe then you'll discover the beauty of this love story. Maybe then you'll understand why so many people seem to love this movie. It makes me cry every single time I see it. So give it another shot.
