Eternal Sunshine...

So I just watched ESOTSM and good Lord, how absolutely brilliant is that film? It's certainly one of the best films I've seen recently, if not ever. It's just so...real you know? It's so calm in its narrative technique but not a single second boring. And the actors? Elijah and Kirsten are fab, and Jim Carrey...I always knew he would be awesome at a serious part, ever since I saw The Truman Show. Stunning. Not to forget Kate Winslet - watching that film today just reminded me why she is my favourite actress. She is just gorgeous and an incredibly talented. I loved it how the director casted those two against their image, quite reversed actually. Jim being the silent, sensitive character and Kate the slightly insane and impulsive one. And the whole plot is just...wow. I can only recommend this film, really.

And by the way, know what else I noticed? That is the second time Elijah's been in a film that deals with memories and the erasing of them... *lol*

Ooooo! It took me a second to work out what ESOTSM was! :D I really want to see that movie, will definitely have to get it out next time I go to Video Ezy.

I'd love to see that film! I somehow missed it when it was at the cinema, but it looks fantastic. Plus, I love Kate Winslet too - did you see Heavenly Creatures, by Petah Jeeckson?

I have seen parts of it, yes...but it was on so late I couldn't watch the whole thing. Did you see Jude The Obscure? Her performance there was...breathtaking...
