The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Charlie Kaufman
One reviewer describes Charlie Kaufman films as “the very orgy of inventiveness” And we all love an orgy don’t we? This is a fantastic movie.If you loved ‘Being John Malkovich’ and you loved ‘Adaptation’ then you will go crazy in love for this new movie written by Charlie Kaufman.The title is ‘from a line by Alexander Pope, the 18th-century neoclassicist poet whose witty, polished heroic couplets were his way of imposing order on a world ” And that’s just the kooky title! The story is even more creative, about a couple (Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet) who undergo a wierd,surrealist procedure to erase each other from their memories when their relationship turns sour. Good movie making is making you believe the craziest things and this movie is crazy! And you believe it. So clever, so well written, so imaginative and so well edited that it goes backwards and forwards in time before you even realize it and really keeps you on your toes. So pay attention. We like a movie that presumes the audience is brainy (What a relief.) And we love a movie about love. Kate Winslet is AMAZING and has all the mannerisms of a neurotic American girl and her accent is faultless, Jim Carrey is great and looks even a bit spunky -no really- with a cool hair cut. The styling of the movie is sooo groovy in that geeky, daggy way, the photography is fabulous. Need I go on? Oh and I loved the moral to the story .No I’m not telling you. You can see for yourself.
