"The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
Starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Froto ("Tofu") Baggins
Recently seen on DVD, this movie is not like other movies you may have seen, except perhaps "Momento" and "Being John Malkovich" because the main story thread is sometimes difficult, yet fun, to find since you really have to pay attention when watching it, and surprisingly, when you eventually understand what's going on inside Joel's (Carrey's) mind as it's being erased, you get caught up in it and get to really experience the deep feelings portrayed by an outstanding performance from both Carrey and Winslet who in the movie play a strange lonely couple.
If you thought that last sentence was a run-on one, then you'll get the idea of what to expect in this movie. It took me a while to figure out what was really going on, and I never felt my intelligence was insulted, which sadly happens in a lot of movies, so snaky gives it 4.4 fists out of 5. There were a few plot lines that didn't seem to go anywhere.
Oh, and watch out for Froto. He acts more like Gollum in this one though.
