Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 08/26/11
Jim Carrey as the shy Joel and Kate Winslet as the eclectic hair color chameleon Clementine. Romantic story that deals with erasing people's memories. The direction of the film was very unique, using various focal points and images as if you were really in the mind of Joel Barish. Soundtrack, cinematography and acting was superb. Screenplay was likewise enjoyable. A few lines from the movie: Joel Barish - "Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating. I could die right now, I'm just … happy. I've never felt that before. I'm just exactly where I want to be." Clementine Kruczynski - "I'm not perfect." Its very surprising to see Carrey perform well in dramatic scenes. As a veteran comedian, the comedic scenes are laughable. Winslet owned the part, very expressive and different. Pace of the story telling was good, premise was innovative and had universal themes. Coping up with with differences, accepting your flaws and your attitude towards memories were evident. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind proves that even memories cannot bend the hear.
