I revisit Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind every few years when I wanna get my guts all twisted into knots.
I think when Kaufman is left on his own he's too much of a bummer and Gondry on his own is just too far out. But somehow they come together in a perfect balance with Jim Carey in perhaps his best serious role, IMHO. The soundtrack really takes it the extra mile.
I appreciate it because Joel and Clementine come off as just two kinda fucked up people having a kinda fucked up relationship; very relatable. Neither is perfect or completely at fault and the film very much leaves it up to your interpretation if they can or should work together. I don't think it has a happy ending, do you? Compare that to something like 500 Days of Summer where you're really supposed to sympathize with Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character but mostly I end up wanting to push him into the mud. Hard.
The subplot between the doctor and his secretary is maybe a little unnecessary? But Kirsten Dunst is amazing so whatever.
I wish I had stayed.
That movie is my white whale. I have tried to watch it a dozen times and I’ve never finished it. Not for lack of interest or trying. Just can’t do it
The indie movie theater near my college did a "soundtrack comes alive" showing with live music. It was phenomenal!
