  Wow! Ang galing! I love it! One of the best films I ever watched. Great screenplay! I never thought i'd bawl my eyes out like that again after Kramer vs Kramer and Titanic. (haha! i know! u must be saying " Titanic?? WTF ") The film was presented with much truth. It's wasnt made to look deep and intelligent but doesnt really make much sense. It wuz presented with a very creative concept but the script flowed lightly but definitely not empty. Casual lines will make you nod your head and say " yeah...that's right " It has a great mix of comedy, drama and romance.
Kirsten Dunst's character is hella funny! as Borgy would say it, Best Actress in a sabog role!
haha!
I really love the film cuz i can relate to it. I saw myself in most of the characters. Mary -- stoner, gullible, bitchy, zealous, attached... Clementine -- wierd but will never admit it, defensive, free spirited, easily bored, party animal, affectionate, enthusiastic, nagger, crazy, impulsive, emotional...Joel -- hopeless romantic, dweller, insecure, funny, sentimental... There are so many lines in the film that struck me, touched me and some hit me like a bolt of lightning. The cheesy tagline " You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story . " is my story. He told me that I am one file he deleted in his memory. Yeah, it sounds corny but when someone you love tells it to your face, it kills you.
There's also a part in the film that made me choke -- when they were struggling to cheat the procedure and Clem suggested that Joel brings her to a place where she doesnt belong, and he juz said " I cant rememeber anything without you " (or summin like that). I live my life like that. I am juz totally in bondage. You must be saying, how sad . Yeah, it is. Pathetic. The last part also holds true when they were listening to the recordings of their memory of each other, it wuz juz full of hate. Hate for each other. All negative. Why do people do that? Focus on the bad side and realize everything good and sweet when it's all gone. I wuz like that. I never really appreciated him when we were together and really regreted everything i said and all actions i did when he left me. Im juz wondering now, does he feel the same or is he saying " good riddance "? We had an exchange of hurtful words but i wuz showered abundantly.
I wish to be given another chance...to make everything right or atleast try. I am juz so jealous with the scene at the cookout when they were going back to where they first met: Clementine: This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon. Joel: I know. Clementine: What do we do? Joel: Enjoy it. How I wish we had that moment. We drifted apart and ended it but we were given another opportunity to be together. The sad thing was we used it in vain.
I know he still wanted me and i needed him but we were full of pride. It became all kinda superficial and shallow. Had we taken care of that opportunity, it couldve been another chapter with a happy ending. or I guess im juz foolish and stupid to even think that a real second chance is possible. It has been years and I am devastated to find myself still attached to him. While watching the film, I kept on saying to myself, " how i wish Lacuna is real. How i wish the procedure is possible ". But as it neared the ending, it came to me what pain it will cause to lose even the sweetest and best of memories i had with him.
I dont ever want that to happen. I didnt even wanna lose him to begin with. But they say, break the bondage before it breaks you. well, too late. it already did. I have always wished for amnesia to cure me from this madness, but I realized if every scene and every line in Eterenal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is all true and real then all effort will be in vain. But does it hold true for everyone? If it does then I am a hopeless case. So how can one forget and move on? Now I am really confused. "How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!. The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!. Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.
