Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

I just watched this 2004 movie last night. I heard both nice and negative reviews about it and so I got curious to watch it. Anyway, let me just give you few information about it just for a sort-of-brief-introduction. It was directed by Michel Gondry and was written by Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry himself too.

(I like this scene for some reasons, lying on a snow! Yes!)

It is a science-fiction, romantic, non-linear narrative and a surrealistic film. Quite impressive mixture of genres, but I think they could have added more on its narrative since it is quite unsatisfying at the end. I dunno if I am right okay, and I just find the sub-narrative a little bit unsubtle addition to the main narrative. Yeah, the story of the doctor and Kirsten Dunst aka Mary. Their story is slightly ineffective for me and a quite deus ex machine-ish tool just so for the main characters to meet and know their history at the end of the film.

Jim Carey aka Joel and Kate Winslet aka Clementine look so gorgeous here and I love the setting here! Also, I think Clementine is a good name for her character, although it is a contradiction to her personality.

Comedic Kate Winslet showing off her crotch. But I do not actually like this scene especially when Jim Carey transformed into a midget. Owwwkay -_-

The nerve at this scene. Hahaha I kid. It's just that, I cannot even. . . Why Michel Gondry, why?

However, this scene is cute. Kirsten Dunst forever hots. Hohoho.

What is it about forgetting? There comes a point in our lives when we just want to forget everything to take away all the pain. But that is only cowardice, that is escaping. Accepting torment and reality is never easy, but that is better than removing a part of what we have been. Memories are sometimes excruciating, but by those abstractions, we feel we are whole as an individual. Experiencing pain is just a phase, it shall pass. And after that, we will be much stronger. - My so-called insights after watching the film.

Anyway, let me just cite wonderful quotes from this movie.

Mary: Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders. (It's by Nietzche, my favorite existential philosopher.)
Mary: How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd. (Alexander Pope)
