Product Description:
WHEN JOEL DISCOVERS THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND CLEMENTINE HAS HAD THEIR TUMULTUOUS RELATIONSHIP ERASED FROM HER MIND THROUGH AN EXPERIMENTAL SCIENTIFIC PROCEDURE, HE DECIDES TO ERASE HIS OWN PAIN BY GETTING THE SAME TREATMENT. BUT AS EACH MEMORY IS ELIMINATED, JOEL SUDDENLY REALIZES HOW MUCH HE STILL LOVES HER.
Amazon.com:
Screenwriters rarely develop a distinctive voice that can be recognized from movie to movie, but the ornate imagination of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) has made him a unique and much-needed cinematic presence. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a guy decides to have the memories of his ex-girlfriend erased after she's had him erased from her own memory--but midway through the procedure, he changes his mind and struggles to hang on to their experiences together. In other hands, the premise of memory-erasing would become a trashy science-fiction thriller; Kaufman, along with director Michel Gondry, spins this idea into a funny, sad, structurally complex, and simply enthralling love story that juggles morality, identity, and heartbreak with confident skill. The entire cast--Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, and more--give superb performances, carefully pitched so that cleverness never trumps feeling. A great movie. --Bret Fetzer

- Eternal Sunshine DVD
This movie is wonderful. Watch it and tell your own story. I was so moved by Jim Carrey's acting, he was a very serious actor in this one. Enjoy, as I did!!!
Rating: - Worth the money!
I just rented this.
Simply put, this is a great movie.
It is very strange but you will love it.
I would categorize it as a Surrealistic Romantic Comedy.
When it was over we wanted to watch it again but we had no time.
Great Movie!

- Far from a spotless movie
Perhaps my mistake was watching this immediately after "Stranger than Fiction," an equally overworked, derivative premise about a repressed, unfulfilled personality who requires not so much the extermination of his pedestrian self as the recovery of his more vital self (i.e. he needs the right, "spontaneous," life-endowed woman).The prototype is Chris Marker's 1962 masterpiece, "La Jetee," a film that's as profound as it is fresh, provocative, and haunting.The problem with these later spin-offs ...

- ZERO
A donut, total zero, a movie that should never have been made and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Stare at the wall for a more enjoyable and enlightening time.
Rating: - beautiful, moving, thought-provoking
This is a beautiful journey through love and the human heart. Both Kate Winslet and Jim Carey produce heartfelt, touching performances. Probably the best acting from either of them. Definitely an excellent love story.Plus, the cinematography is amazing.
