Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

O.M.G
I will ne-ver talk enough about this movie. 
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" demonstrates that memories are just not files that may be erased. They are more than just thoughts in the mind because they shape the essence of the self. People require both the good and the bad in order to learn and grow.

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" changed my life the first time I saw it. 
This almost never happens to me, and I presume I understand why I enjoyed it the first and only time it did. It's among those rare films that I'd rather watch alone than with a group. 
It seeks something personal, such as troubling memories deeply buried within our subconscious. It's a film that demands the presence of thoughts we dismiss when we're surrounded by people, things we only consider when we're alone, buried in eternal thoughts. 
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a work of art that is both therapeutic and liberating.




This fantastic screenplay revolves around Joel (Jim Carrey), a performer trapped in the monotony of everyday life until he meets the spontaneously laidback Clementine (Kate Winslet). 
When he discovers that she had him erased from her memory, their relationship appears to be nearing an end.
In desperation, he retreats to the only sensible answer at the time, wiping her away from his memory. However, as he recalls the passionate days of their previous relationship, he falls in love with her all over again.

Then, the movie takes a Hitchcockian turn, becoming a man-on-the-run film, though this time the protagonists are fleeing an unreachable entity. They rush from one memory to another while frantically attempting to avert the inevitable erasure process. 
It's one of the most creative and original concepts ever captured on film.

One of the philosophical questions raised by this film is whether we are just the sum of our memories or if we are more than a bundle of past experiences.
I'll let you with this question;  Would eradicating an occurrence from our mini-history be beneficial?

 I simply COULD NOT make a blog and not talk about this movie... This movie... It was so good and at the same time so bad... I think the acting is chef's kiss but the plot... I used to love the plot when I watched it for the first time but after the fifth time, it wasn't as good as I thought. Especially because there are some things that could have been avoided.  About the plot... Love , social inequality , and self-sacrifice are prominent themes in Titanic, all entwined in a tragic event that resonated with many people on its own. The plot revolves around a love triangle involving two active members of high society and a young man of low social standing.  I think the most interesting character is Rose;  reminiscent of classic literary works, is a daring and somewhat gutsy young woman who feels bound by her elevated social status. Her fancying for a low-class artist, Jack, energizes her and allows her to defy her family and fiancé. Both men are polar opposites...

  Whiplash: The story: This film exploits one of society's most prevalent obsessions, greatness, success, and dream, in a way very few movies achieve.  Thus, thanks to its popular topic, everybody can relate to it in one way or another, especially people living in a capitalist society where success is constantly used to define individuals .  I would like to point out one specific aspect of the movie that for me defines what makes a good film: its ability to immerse its audience in a different world .   Whiplash will give you adrenaline rushes like no other film.  Another aspect of the film I particularly admired was the work done on character development and the storyline in general, Whiplash is not a blockbuster with a lot of special effects or shooting locations. Therefore, everything the film relies on is the story it tells . In that case, Whiplash explores a conflictual situation in a very organic and brilliant way . In addition to that, Every singl...

  Hi everyone ! I'm opening up this blog in order to bring some reviews about my favorites art pieces !! So, it could be about books, like it could be movies, paintings, sculptures... Maybe some day I will decide on updating y'all about art pieces I don't like ! But for now, I'll only give honest reviews about the pieces that I preferred throughout my life.  For example, this is a book J.D. Salinger wrote !! It is called The Catcher In The Rye. The novel details two days in the life of 16-year-old Caulfield after he was kicked out of school Confused and disillusioned, Holden seeks the truth and rebels against the "deception" of the adult world. He ends up exhausted and emotionally unstable. The events are recounted afterwards.
