"Then hide me somewhere really really burried...."
Where has this movie been all my life? In the opening trailer for focus features it says, "If we live in such a diverse world, then why are so many movies the same?" THE ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND is not your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy.

Joel Barish finds out that his girlfriend of two years, Clementine, has had him earased from her memory. Feeling that it will be too painful to live without her he decides that he wants the same procedure done. About half-way through the erasing he realizes that he doesn't want to forget Clementine and attempts to hide her which makes for some excellent comic relief.

The good points to this movie are the way that Joel is inside his own head. As the erasing begins Joel feels like he is inside his own head and it feels surreal at first, but he soon starts having angry conversations with Clementine, screaming, "I'm earasing you, you know, by tommorrow you'll be gone."

The acting in this movie is also suburb. You have Kate Winslet as the free-spirited wild child, and Jim Carey, in what may be his best role yet. Jim Carey is the quiet boyfriend to Clementine who keeps a journal of all his thoughts.

Overall this movie is amazing, well put together, and has an amazing plot that will blow viewers away.

PROZAC NATION!
Anyone who loved this movie, must be on prozac. It was o.k.
but not great! Kirsten Dunst, should do more movies, dancing
in her undies, that was the best part of this movie!

TOP 10 OF 2004
this is one of the two best movies I saw in all of 2004, the second one being KILL BILL V.2. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The look on the actor's faces, they just kill me. the soundtrack by Jon Brion another notch in the excellent belt. The acting, directing, the script is top notch. One of the most sincere, honest, and most hearbreaking and romantic I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. This movie just floored me. I knew Jim Carrey could act (Truman Show, why didn't they nominate him?) but nothing could prepare me for this performance. He looks nothing like the usual Jim Carrey persona. He looks pained, lonely, desperate. His voice is so quiet and frail. Kate Winslet, her hair, her talk, everything she does in this movie is incredible (should've won the oscar!!!) not to mention the hurt in Kirsten Dunst's face and the disbelief. This movie is spectacular. I don't know how it wasn't nominated for best picture. I mean RAY was nominated when the best thing about that movie was Jamie Foxx and the music. Why did they not release this movie during Valentine's Day? Why didn't this movie make money? why is the world so cruel? Just watch the movie and you'll know. Unless i'm delusional which wouldn't surprise me. Highly recommended.
