1 of 2 greatest love stories ever told

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2007)

To me, the two greatest love stories ever told are Vanilla Sky and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. It is odd that I picked two movies that were made so recently, after the year two thousand, but I really think that film making has evolved lately. The good ones are either written in a way that you are more emotionally involved with the characters and plots. Like in Memento, you could actually feel what Guy Pierce's character was going through with his "condition". In Vanilla... and Eternal..., you could actually see their pain and the lengths they were going through to try to be with their lovers! Bottom line, Vanilla Sky is not your typical love story or 'chic flick' and if you have no imagination or aren't a hopeless romantic, then do not bother watching it. If you do and you are, you should fall in love with the characters and the story itself. You'll probably end up buying the DVD as well.
