I love this film! This has been one of the best movies I have seen in my life. It's so smart and appealing that unlike other films which give a superficial reenactment of a breakdown in human relationship, "Eternal Sunshine" dives deeper into the human subconscious.
The procedure in erasing the painful memories is something impossible, not to mention exaggeratedly crazy, but still, this film delivers a very honest and profound message that viewers must really pay close attention to. One notices that even if Joel (Jim Carrey) through the Lacuna technicians tried to map and eliminate the dreadful memories, he desperately needed to retain the great ones that proved his love for Clementine (Kate Winslet) inspite of everything bad that had transpired - surely something that we all could relate to.
This movie is witty, funny, and heartrending...incredibly great elements combined!!! Kaufman and Gondry are geniuses, and this gave Jim Carrey his best performance as an actor (far from the shadows of his superficial portrayals in Ace Ventura and the Cable Guy, - just to name a few), ever!
It was great to see kate Winslet in her portrayal of Clem - free-spirited and impulsive - so different from her "period" roles. I just hope this gets recognized, the same way "Lost In Translation" gets the acclaim for its beauty and uniqueness.
Yeah, few lines from the film:
Clem: Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.
Joel: I remember that speech really well.
Clem: I had you pegged, didn't I?
Joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
Clem: Probably.
Joel: I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.
