clementine and joel The film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind came out months ago, but I didn't get to see it when it was in the theater. At the time I was a little disappointed, because I tend to like just about any movie with Kate Winslet in it. Something about her is very attractive to me and I think that she is a very talented actress. Putting aside these strong expectations and or prejudices that were inside my head about the movie, I was very surprised at how affected I was by the movie when I saw it today. So much if not everything about the movie made sense to me. Mixed emotions. Images tied to one person. Fragments played over and over. How the mind remembers key moments in time. How one sees oneself. How one sees someone that they love. All of these these elements collided together in the film and I was totally lost in it, because my mind works in that way and to be able to see it outside of my mind was amazing. ... Going back to work last night after having been away for ten days was depressing. My life is so much better when I'm not there and I don't think that I can stress that fact enough. Hopefully once the holidays have passed, I will be able to look for a new job, because I need to stop wasting my time there and do something better with my life. |
