Blessed are the forgetful: For they get the better even of their blunders

Tonight is the last night in my apartment in Downers. I'm going to spend part of it writing an entry about my favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and then I am going to pack up my computer and go to the next chapter of my life

you perfectly captured the essence of ESOSM. I have never witnessed a more honest, candor-ridden portrayl of love in my life than was portrayed in this absolute masterpiece. instead of reinterating and specifying attributes and elements of the film that you already perfectly encapsulated in words, I will merely say that as chatoic and random as life can seem, there are trapdoors and obtuse doorways that will always lead one back into the poignant rememberances and lovely reflections that bad experiences and ill-endings can never erode or dull. I am seeking my Clementine, my complimenting half, my love, even though I fully understand and acknowledge that it could possibly end in the worst imaginable heartache.... that is what the film does. it allows you believe in the redemptive magistry of love (scars, weeping wounds and all) and not hesitate for even a moment to persue it. life is not about the end result, but about the experiences getting there. I am Brian, by the way. I am sorry to be as presumptuous as I was to just post in your journal, but I was moved to act....
