Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Movie Review)

A mind altering expierence which features Joel (Jim Carrey) the main character who falls in love with Clemetine (Kate Winslet). Shortly after something has been changed and Joel is trying to get to the bottom of it. This movie created a dream world for the audience and puts you on the edge of your seat.

Overall the movie flips back and forth between past and present events which are hard to determine until all the clues sync up at the end of the movie. Joel met Clemetine one day while living life out of a whim, and falls in love with this mysterious girl. After time Joel tries to contact her and she's disappeared. You soon find out that Clemetine's mind has been erased from all memories relating to Joel. Joel is crushed and not sure how to handle it, so decides to do the same process.



The movie shows the journey of the company pin pointing all of the memories in the brain of Joel, and how Joel is inside his dreams trying to piece the puzzle together. He decides that he doesn't want to erase her, but its to late. Patrick (Elijah Wood) one of the employees conducting the mind erase, decides to steal all of Joel's memories and uses them to start dating Clemetine. By the end of the movie, you seem like you don't really know which point of time that the beginning of the movie actually started.



Overall the cinematography and the artistic look of this film is breathtaking as it creates the dream world. Jim Carry and Kate Winslet play a perfect roll in seeing the relationship and seeing the inside of their thoughts. I recommend this movie to any viewer of movies that make you think.
