just saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with robin and jason....
man, that was a hard movie. a beautiful, amazing, i daresay excellent movie..but very hard to watch. i'm very confused as to how i feel about it exactly. i really liked it a lot, but i wouldn't say that i enjoyed the experience of it. i mean, i did... but afterward i wanted to go and drown myself or something. about halfway through the film i realized that i _really_ cared about these people. i want them to be my friends. it evoked emotions that movies never bring out in me anymore. a lot of them were not pleasent, but that actually made me like the film all the more.
i'm sure that everyone who watches it can identify with the ideas and emotions it presents. i know i certainly did. i was a bit apprehensive about watching it with robin and jason as i'm sure it dredged up a lot for the two of them considering semi-recent events.
throughout the film i was constantly struck by its beauty. the way each shot was composed, the style with which they were interwoven, it was just gorgeous. its exactly the kind of film i've always wanted to create.
it was an interesting experience watching this movie today. earlier in the day i was thinking about how happy have been with where i am in life lately, and here's this movie that could have been a HUGE downer, and it was in some aspects, but i found it more curious than anything. instead of becoming really depressed, it made me extremely introspective.
...and yes, i realize i'm about 2 years too late here, but fuck off. i was rather moved by this film and felt compelled to write about it.
