Film review: Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind

“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” was directed by Michel Gondry and written by Charlie Kaufman who also wrote “Being John Malkovich”. It stars Jim Carrey as Joel Barish, and Kate Winslet as Clementine Kruczynski. The film won an Oscar in 2005 for Best Writing, Original Screenplay.
The film is set in different places of the United States. The plot is about a couple, Clementine and Joel, who met in a very strange situation and fallen in love. After a time of relationship, they decided to end the romantic affaire, getting a treatment to erase each other from their memories. However during this process they realized that they were still in love but should be very difficult get back.
It is a near two hours film and it is necessary to be aware because sometimes became a little confused because almost the whole story happened inside the protagonist’s mind.
I strongly recommend “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, it has an excellent soundtrack and I also think that it is an opportunity to change the idea we have about Jim Carrey, who usually plays stupid characters in his films.
