#Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind roger ebert movie
The movie won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and Kate Winslet was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
I hope those are the moments some of those patients are frozen in. What Joel and Clementine cling to are those perfect moments when lives seem blessed by heaven, and sunshine will fall upon it forever. An unsuccessful romantic lover remembers the times when it worked. A failed political candidate remembers the applause. A drunk remembers the good times better than the hangovers.
From the hospital I remember laughing nurses and not sleepless nights. We more readily recall pleasure than pain. The wisdom in "Eternal Sunshine" is how it illuminates the way memory interacts with love. Do that, and you can kid a great man and treat an insignificant one with deep respect. The secret of communicating with another person, I suspect, may be in communicating with who he thinks he is. Subscribe to the Times Video newsletter for free.
This is Ebert in top form, showing a passion for film performances that made him famous. Why I respond so intensely to this material must involve my obsession with who we are and who we think we are. Eternal Of Roger Mind Sunshine Spotless Review The Movie Ebert. In his Great Movie review Roger Ebert said: The past becomes undependable and reality becomes cloudy. Memories from the past come flooding back, and Joel fights to remember Clementine. Joel struggles desperately in his unconscious state to stop the process, he doesn't want to forget Clementine. Joel remembers the days when he had been so happy and in his sub-conscious state realizes that he doesn't want her wiped out. As Clementine is being erased from Joel's mind, we see flashbacks to their relationship. Joel decides that he will wipe Clemetine from his mind too. Joel then finds out that Clementine has gone through a process that erased all traces of him from her mind. Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) were love, but after a break-up, Clementine doesn't even recognize Joel. Leonard says in his review : "Ingenious, Oscar-winning screenplay by Charlie Kaufman is extremely well executed by director Gondry, though the film tends to cleverly dance around the roots of emotional and romantic pain rather than fully engage them." Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis: "Propelled by Charlie Kaufman's smart, imaginative script and Michel Gondry's equally daring directorial touch, Eternal Sunshine is a twisty yet heartfelt look at relationships and heartache." Rotten Tomatoes Rating : 93% with critics, 84% with audience
