Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is turning me into a foaming-at-mouth fanboy again. |

Why "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" rules:
(I will list more reasons when I think of them.) * Because it made me think really hard. * Because it was, from a literary perspective, a very heavy piece of work. What, quotations from Nietszche, Alexander Pope, use of motifs & symbols, subtle hints put everywhere with reference to the movie... (lacuna, Joel Barish, with Barish suggesting "banish" or perish", even Huckleberry Hound's tune "Oh My Darling Clementine suggested that part of her identity was to be "gone and lost forever") Hardcore! * Because the film, from its story, to the acting, to the filming, special effects & soundtrack is brilliant. * Because the soundtrack (especially the scores by Jon Brion) added such depth to the feel of the movie. * Because it sure beats most Hollywood flicks. * Because it did not let its science fiction basis become the main emphasis of the movie, allowing the plot to remain believable * Because the stars of the movie (Jim Carrey & Kate Winslet) were very convincing even though their roles were "out of character" for them. Watch the movie, you'll see what I mean. * Because Jim Carrey surprisingly can act. * Because for a surreal piece of cinematic fiction, it sure did affect me very mentally & emotionally in real life. * Because watching Elijah "Frodo" Wood with a crew-cut & being annoying is fun. >:] Go watch it. |
