Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I watched Jim Carrey's "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" recently.

I'm not sure how many people who watched this film felt it made sense. But it made sense to me..

Plot spoiler follows:

Jim Carrey falls in love with this impulsive, beautiful, talkative, interesting girl( Kate Winslet).

They meet regularly...

Suddenly, one day when he goes to meet her at the store where she works, she acts as though he were a stranger.

He is hurt and confused. When he gets back home...he gets a card saying that he has been erased from her memory by a doctor since she went to him and said she wanted to forget this painful relationship.

He goes there to find out more...

He registers himself as a patient and wants to erase her from his mind, too. But somewhere in the middle of the process, he realises that one of the doc's assistants(Elijah Wood) fell in love with Kate Winslet and he has stolen Jim's identity. He is now trying to woo her.

Jim Carrey tries to thwart the strong waves that are entering his head through the apparatus strapped to his cranium, and he undergoes mental torture in his effort to get back with his girlfriend.

Thankfully, his efforts are successful...

The sub-plot involves Kirsten Dunst who works in the doc's office. She has harboured a crush on him forever. What she does not know is that her memory of the brief affair with the doc has been erased by him since it was in the best interests of everyone concerned. (Coz the doc's an old dude pushing 50 and has a wife and kids..)

So this is the movie...

Does anybody want to watch it?

Oh! And the title of the movie is a quote from Alexander Pope..(for all u literature buffs)

Nice layout for a comedy line up. should watch the movie
Frankly it is not a comedy. It's pretty serious stuff.

Its one of my fav movies of all time. I cant remember how many times I've watched it. Its totally surreal. You shouldn't have given away all the plot details though :)

Yea well, its a statistic that most blogs lose their fizz after the first couple of months, includes mine.

And yeah, you did warn them ofcourse but I was only suggesting that you could've tantalized the audience by not divulging it all. ;)
