the sad and shocking realities about love and relationships

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2006)

This is, in my opinion, one of the best films I've ever seen. I have only seen very few films that don't mold to what the general public views love and actually bring to attention the way relationships truly are; a constant struggle that usually ends in anger or hatred, and afterwords realize that the insecurities that one has eventually takes control of every situation. This story is an excellent display of the human psyche involving love, which I haven't seen very often. A movie that I find to be similar is Edward Scissorhands. I made the connection between the two films because they both deal with love going unexpressed as the end result. It's hard to rate the two because they're both very different, even though at the end the same feeling is shared. Edward Scissorhands is more of a fantasy or fairy tale, and doesn't really go into too much depth of the feelings of the characters, which can allow the viewers to explore that with their own point of view. Eternal Sunshine is more harsh and for the most part presents the emotions in a way that is fairly obvious
