what is really being said?

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2004)

I have seen Adaptation, which is also by Kaufman, and I couldn't believe that someone who shows himself as being completely unable to maintain or even begin to have a relationship, could understand and illustrate the finest detail of relationships.
I was both frightened by the thought of losing memory of anyone I loved but I was also filled with joy when I realized that pure, true love that is out of our control can exist.
I have written a comment on Adaptation and posted it on IMDb. I found Eternal... to be very similar in style. Very sleek but highly detailed. I think that there was a greater focus on subconscious or subliminal thought in this film. For example: Joel talks about how Clementine is not the type of person that he can talk to about books, he says this in a conscious, analytical state. But a lot of his memories and safety zones involving Clementine are associated with books and book shelves and stores. Strange our reality can warp ones true emotions.
I haven't been able to think about the film properly because I saw it recently, but would like to discuss this film more.
