One of the things I was able to do this weekend was see a movie with some friends. I had been hearing great things about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and really was excited about seeing it. I was not disappointed. I think this movie is better than Being John Malkovich, which was more of a concept movie. Its plot was clever and interesting. And you wondered what would happen to the characters, but it lacked the emotion of Eternal Sunshine. I can’t imagine anyone not being able to relate to the main character Joel’s dilemma. I know it would have been easier for me to have my college boyfriend erased from my memory. Breaking up is hard, especially if it’s not mutual. What a shitty part of my life. But I would never want Aaron, my boy now, to be erased from my memory. I am a stronger person now, partly because of what I went through with the college boy. That and time and growing up I guess. Ridding unwanted memories from your mind sounds good in theory at least. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were both really good in their respective parts. You watch their relationship unfold and then crumple and they are lucky enough to get a second chance. I think I have to see this movie a second time. Its that good.
