eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
that’s another movie off my list.
I just got back from watching eternal sunshine, I enjoyed it. Some people have said that Jim Carrey doesn’t quite pull it off, that he tries so hard not to be his usual off the handle self that he doesn’t fit the role, but I thought he did a good job. I also really liked Kate Winslett in her part.
i’m glad we don’t have the ability to do the shit they do in the movie, erasing your memory and the like. I’d hate to lose the good memories i have because of some bad ones. good memories are good because they can be contrasted with the bad memories. of course the opposite is true as well, so you could argue that not having good memories makes the bad ones seem better. but i’ll gladly take a few bad memories if it means I can have at least as many good. so if the technology to erase someone should ever come about (whithout the help of the mafia), and i happen to think it’s a good idea, remind me never to do it, thanks.

maybe, but painful memories also help you to deal with similar situations, and help you avoid them in the future. if you erase a bad memory, it could happen again.
