Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
The best film in 2004, the film from writer Charlie Kaufman and director Michel Gondry is also the most heartfelt. The story about gaining and losing love. Jim and Kate play magnificant parts. I loved the sadness envoked by Joel and the zaniness of Clementine. When Kaufman produced the great film of Adaptation I was convinved that I had found fav. movie. That of course before this movie arrived and forces me to call it a tie.

For me, I could not get into this movie. It was So-So for me, and one I could never watch again. Maybe I did not understand it, but I have seen better types of movies like this, and have seen a lot better Jim Carrey movies than this.

Hi Krausehome-I've never experienced a Movie that told it's story using the methods of ESOTSM before..Admittedly,you might not have got it all on your first viewing,so I'd recommend at least one more time,
but the movie left me wanting to watch it again if only to see what i'd only half got or missed the first time around..What movies would you recommend of which type to put up in comparison?

I have heard that this film is sort of 'bazzar' and maybe it tells it story in a different form, than the one you would like to receive.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the best movies I saw. It has a very original story that i really enjoyed and I must say i watched this movie two times.
Until I saw Jim Carrey playing in it, I had another opinion about this actor. He is indeed a very gifted and talented actor. I recommend this movie to everyone.
best regards,
Octavian

This was actually a very good movie. I couldn't watch it the first times I tried because it just wasn't holding me, but now I really enjoy it. I liked the idea but I hated the ending, probably for the same reason I didn't like Mrs. Doubtfire and The Breakup. But it was still a great movie, with a lot of great actors too.

It is a film that you have to pay close attention to.
The ending I felt was true to life. However I do see how it may be difficult to recept, since its a happy ending or a resolute conclusion.

I actually didn't like this movie. I really didn't understand the big deal about it but I mean to each their own, if you love it, great, everybody has a style they like!

It is told in a 'different' form, so maybe its just for those that like different...

I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's in a tie with Truman Show as my favorite Jim Carey movie. I've seen it a few times though it's been a year or two since I watched it last. It's strange and quirky, funny and romantic. It's a great concept that's well developed though at times a bit confusing. I think the cast is fantastic also.

I think the cast was stellar. This in particular is my favorite Carey film. However as a comedy, Liar Liar comes in at a distant second.

I only just recently watched this movie, upon recommendation from a friend.
My first thoughts were - Awesome Title!!
I had high expectations for the film, and I can happily say that they were fulfilled, the movie was great :). The cast was excellent, the plot intriguing and attention-holding - everything worked.
Among the best I've seen.

I've seen that movie twice, and both times I really enjoyed it. I thought it was nice to see Jim Carrey in a more serious role for once. Kate Winslet is also great in this movie. It's strange and special, but also romantic. I would definitely watch it again!
