"You know me, I'm implusive."

Today i re-watched one of my all-time favorite movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


This film is one i can watch every day of my life, if i actually had the time. Not only is it beautifully made, but the writing is pure genius.

The cast includes Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, and more. It's no wonder that it blows me away each time.

After an impulsive decision to erase him from her memory, Clementine (Winslet) provokes her boyfriend Joel (Carrey) to return the favor. The whole movie is one twisted suspense that only makes sense until the end. Michel Gondry, the director, takes you into the mind and field of Joel's memories only to prove that one's memories are actually sacred.

It is a romantic comedy like no other. Although, the humor in it may be a little dry for some tastes. This is Jim Carrey's most dramatic serious role, and one should not expect his acting to reflect anything remotely close to his other work. Carrey is still brilliantly funny, but on a whole different level.

I guess it amazes me that this movie still gives me butterflies, as much as i watch it.

This is my all time favorite scene. That goes for any movie I've seen.


"Watching 'Eternal Sunshine,' you don't just watch a love story- you fall in love with what love really is. A journey into the beauty of connection." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
