Review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) by Frank D — 03 Jan 2016
A movie about love, relationships, heartache, romance, resignation, loneliness, memories, and (I think) Nietzschean Eternal Recurrence. As Fritz wrote in his Zarathustra, "Have you ever said Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you have said Yes too to all woe. All things are entangled, ensnared, enamored; if ever you wanted one thing twice, if ever you said 'You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!' then you wanted all back." This is a movie about wanting all of someone - the good, bad, and ugly; about desiring everything; about affirming and receiving a person for all that that entails.
It is also without a doubt the best and most profound romance movie I have seen to date.
