It's day 41 and I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. What a movie! Eternal Sunshine is about a guy who has a rough break up and comes to learn of a new procedure in which you can have people erased from your memory. He goes through with it but during the procedure he decides he'd rather hang on to the memories. Jim Carey is fantastic as a guy who's an introvert and Kate Winslet plays a compulsive extrovert. Their love story is a shining example of opposites attracting, and they obviously click and it's great. During the procedure is when this movie truly shines. Jim Carey is in the middle of his memories as they're being erased. There's subtle things going on like books turning blank and there's whole things disappearing or degrading. It's really quite something to watch, it's like a 40+ minute dream sequence and it feels ahead of its time. It's quirky and humorous and sad and I just can't get over it. In watching this movie you can't help but wonder if you'd go through with something like this if it were available. There's so many angles to that question explored in this movie and I don't want to get into it too much and spoil the fun. If you haven't seen this movie yet you're seriously missing out.
