ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND – "Valentine's Day is a
holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like
crap."
Finally, an honest adult movie about human relationships (the
non-abusive kind). We have two people who are in love with each
other, but grow tired of each other. It's not that they don't love
each other; they do. It's just that there is nothing new and
everything is taken for granted. When confronted with the prospect of
starting over, going through the misery and the boredom all over
again, what do they resolve? It's worth it. All of it. And yes,
that's very romantic (no sarcasm).
SCENE TO REMEMBER: The look Clementine (Kate Winslet) gives Joel (Jim
Carrey) when she goes up to get her stuff after their "first" night.
Mom's note: Love Kate, hate Jim -- but I did like this movie. And I actually got to meet Kate at an awards show in New York in January 2008, compliments of Sam's big boss...
