Review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) by Rupesh S — 10 Oct 2016

The one thing that stands out to me of this movie is the feeling of reality to it. After a break-up when we give up out attempts to reconcile we pretend to hate that person and try and block out the memories we have had of them.

The thing is as we try to block out the memories we realize how much happiness we felt in certain moments, more happiness than we thought was humanly possible. This movie answers the question "is it better to have loved and lost, or to have never loved at all?"as much as I hate to admit it I would not give up the moments were I I loved and I was loved back.

No other feeling like it. This was a movie which made me feel, and that is in my opinion the highest praise for a director.
