ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
Hi readers!
Today I am going to talk about one of those movies that does not matter how sad they are, they still are some of the best movies ever.
For the people that do not know what this title means, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind it's a movie starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. The plot is about these actors portraying Joel and Clementine who were in a relationship, that after their break-up, she gets the memories clinically erased and Joel is in the same process of trying to forget the past.
The story written by Charlie Kaufman is strange and real at the same time, always makes me feel like in a moment I could live there and get to know the characters and the places without changing so much reality, even though of the existence of these process that erase memories. And adding the work of the director Michel Gondry, that portrayed perfectly the atmosphere of confusion and the passing of time, made a movie that I can’t stop watching.
Like I said, the atmosphere created is very touching and real, sometimes you will start to think about your own experiences and suddenly notice how a movie can really say the things that are in our inner self. And all of that atmosphere wouldn’t be like this without the music of Jon Brion that alone itself can send you on a long journey where your own thoughts can be listened.
I really recommend this movie, although it is a moody and sad story, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a beautiful film that could get anyone some perspective of their lives, a space to talk, or just time to release some healthy tears.
Hi Loretto, I really like that movie, but beyond the story, what I like is Jim Carrey's performance, because I think he is a very good actor, and I like it when actors like him, who dedicate themselves too much to one only film genre (comedy), open to other styles. Great movie!
ResponderEliminarHello Loretto. Regarding your opinion about the film, I agree that it is quite real and leaves us with a very overwhelming experience. Of course, despite the fact that I don't like characters who excuse their actions with "I'm like that" or "That's what happens to me" (instead of having the decency to finish him off first and then erase the memories they shared), I think he deserves the fame and recognition he has.
ResponderEliminarHi Loretto, thank you very much for recommending this movie, I had never heard of it, being that I know the actors who star in it, reading your post I am very interested in watching it, could you tell me on what streaming platforms it is available. Thank you very much in advance.
ResponderEliminarHi Loreto, I remember watching this movie a long time ago with my sister, she is a big fan of drama and she inherited that taste from me. This story is quite captivating and what is expressed in it is interesting because sometimes it is difficult for us to face our own feelings.
