Editorial Review:
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
Joel Barish goes through a procedure to remove memories of his girlfriend Clementine from his mind, only to realize the value of what they had as each memory is erased.

Rating:  - Worthy of Multiple Viewing
For English Lit majors and/or trivia wonks, the title of this film is taken from a line in Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard." Just as Eloisa prays to forget her tragic lover in Pope's poem, Clementine (Kate Winslet) and Joel (Jim Carrey) ask to have their memories of each other surgically removed from their minds in Mike Gondry's film. However, during the neurological procedure to rid Joel of memories of his failed love, Joel begins to have second thoughts about letting go. He begins to fight, ... Read More
Rating:  - Eternal harmony of heart and mind
I remember trying to catch up with myself while watching this movie. This movie was growing on on me at so many different levels that my consciousness couldn't keep abreast.
I remember being swooped in by the ingenuity of the concept while simultaneously being humbled by the ruthless honesty with which the emotional lives of the characters - especially Joel's - have been traced. The plot and the treatment are also relentless, always demanding enormous attention to the unfolding of the story ... Read More

Vanishing Act
Lou Reed
It must be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
to always be looking forward
and never looking back
How nice it is to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

And you can guess this isn't one of them.
You know what this movie's about? "Wouldn't it be cool if we could erase our memories? Wouldn't that be cool?" No. Characters, plot, actors with a lick of talent, and dialogue that doesn't just lay there would be cool. So would some good writing, which is notable for its total absence here.
I did watch it all, by the way. The girl's recording of why she was dumping Jim Carrey was good writing. Nothing else was.

Rating: - all i have to say....
is that this is my favorite movie of all time. It has a significant meaning to me. Its a good movie to watch if your just out of a long relationship. Jim carrey is great. He is far more than just a good comic actor. He is a great overall actor period. His dramatic performances are pretty over looked. he did great in this movie. I recommend this to pretty much everyone. its a movie you will want to watch more than once so you catch more of whats going on.
