eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Hey Now,
I actually got to sit down the other day and watch a movie. This movie was pretty wicked. Has anyone eles seen it?

 

Oh, i saw it in the theatres. Honestly I hated it. I mean, i understood it once it was over, but it was so long and drawn out. I thought it was trying to hard to be deep and it failed. Though I did enjoy seeing Elijah Wood without the hobbit feet.

 

That is very odd Ramona. I didn't think for a second that it was trying to be deep. I thought the beauty in that movie was the sheer simplicity of it all. It provided a surface driven glimpse into emotion, which is by nature, hidden inside.

 

saw it once, i was sooo lost. i completely forgot everything

 

thats kind of what i was thinking, I thought it was trying to be "artsy", and alternative. I thought the acting was good, but I just didn't think it was that great of a movie.

 

Just out of curiosity, what movie(s) fits your idea of great?

 

personally i really loved this movie, and thought the "artsy" stuff was great.

 

well, i like requiem a lot, american beauty, elephant, amelie, waking life, rules of attraction. This isnt in any particular order, because there are many more.. alright feel free to nitpick my favorites

 

no nitpicking here, i said I was just curious!

 

hmmm i thought it was really interesting that you like all those but thought eternal sunshine was too alternative and artsy.. i was expecting you to name some other stuff... now i'm really curious as to the differences you see in eternal sunshine, if you care to share

 

ahh but did eternal sunshine make anyone think that it had been worth sittin infront of the death box for that long?

 

wot a thread hehe

 

First time i saw this I thought it was good, but not great - since then I've seen it a couple of times and it's one of those movies that gets better every time you watch it - it even gave me new appreciation for Jim Carey.

I thought it was a great film - it makes me want to be in love. And to have hair like Kate Winslet's when it's all red

 

I do like artsy and alternative movies, i believe that it tried to capture that and failed. I didn't think it was terrible, it's just okay. I didn't understand all of the hype over it. However, i did believe jim carey did a magnificent performance, and as frozen said it created a new appreciation for jim carey. I dont know, I just didn't think it was that great.

 

ever loved and lost? then this is the movie for you, although it could bring to surface some dormant memories of what it was like to be with someone and how you cannot forget them because you think that you want to but you really shouldn't want to because love is the thing that should never be forgotten because the good of it always outweighs the bad. I recommend this movie to all people

 

this movie made me want to be crazy in love with somebody.... i loved how it depicted the arguments along with the happy lovey times

 

great movie

 

heck i enjoyed the movie.

 

the first time i saw him i fell in love with the movie, i was diyng to fall in love with somebody!!!

it's one of the most grand lovestory's made in the past 5 years....it's great!!!

briliant actors,great settings and the love is so....fucking briliant!

love it,hate it

cheerio

 

I loved this movie not only because of the fact that the cast was fucking awesome (Jim Carrey, Elijah Woods, Kirsten Dunst, fucking Tom Wilkinson, Kate Winslet, and more!) but because of the idea of erasing a past love, I mean think about it what kind of happiness would you be in if you could erase a past painful break up? I thought the movie was a little fucked up but I loved the way they made it kind of alternative too
