    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    I ran a few searches, and was surprised not to find any comments on this film.
    While I’m not big fan of Jim Carrey’s comedies, I certainly appreciate his incredible talent, and have been blown away by dramatic acting ability.

    If you liked the Truman Show, I think you will also enjoy this one.
    Very well acted, with a plot that delves into many levels of the human psyche, and the role fate (if you believe in it) plays in our lives.
    Editing was superb, and sound track was on par.

    While many ‘hints’ are woven into the plot, the story line is not transparent, which for me, helps to make a film maintain my interest.
    I despise predictability in any film.
    While it may not qualify as a library addition, IMHO this is definitely worth a rent.

      Yup, saw it, liked it but I don't think it's a "multiple viewing" kind of a film. I agree the acting and writing were probably the most stand out parts of the film :T

        Great flick, very good acting also. I like when Jim C. plays serius roles. Shows his real ability. If you like this one, check out the other by Chalie Kaufman. He wrote this film, as well as Adaptation and Being John Malovich. Also very good. Weird and abstract but very well done and interesting.

            Oh good!
            "Weird and abstract but very well done and interesting."
            Just my style. (I like films like Johnny Dark, Butterfly Effect and Tattoo)
            Two more recomendations to add to my list.
            Thanks Guys!
