beautiful and funny- a genuinely touching movie that reminds you to embrace your experiences

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2004)

What a @W#(*# movie. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is
about so many things- but mostly, I think it's about cherishing
every moment, even if it ends up in pain- to not squander any
relationship or regret ANYTHING- because it's all about growth-
and to forget is to lose the moments that make life everything it is.
This movie far surpasses many of the films I have seen in the past
few years. It is intimate and real. It taught me something, or
perhaps reminded me of something- that no matter how painful
any memory can be, one should not regret it, because pain is how
we become who we are- pain is how we learn- pain is a huge part
of the joy of life. For every unpleasant memory, there is a blissfull,
ecstatic experience attached, and this film reminds you to
embrace every moment and love every mistake.
And isn't Jim Carrey incredible? And Kate Winslet impeccable?
10/10- a heart-felt ride.
