Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

stars: jim carrey, kate winslet

okay folks, i hardly do this, but i highly recommend this film. really. jim carrey represses his normal goofy comic self to play a vulnerable character very much in love with kate winslet's offbeat spontaneous moody personality. and don't be intimidated by its title. despite impressions that it might be another random gimicky attempt on the part of producers, it really has purpose and relevance.
it's also a movie i can afford to be philosophical. what it is is another relationship film that you might not want to watch with your bf/gf, but this is a lot less dramatic or overwhelming than 'closer'. no, erase that. you CAN watch this with your better half. it gives a light look on how love and happiness are feelings that you shouldn't try so hard to rationalize or speculate. just enjoy it and the person you're with. these are experiences that you shouldn't miss out on. it doesn't guarantee a safe, smooth ride all the way. it's really a rollercoaster, which means people shouldn't be afraid of trying it. this is life. LIVE IT.
