movies like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

It was clever, it was original and it was downright emotional on so many levels that that have made this a timeless classic. Overall, one of my favorite all time films and an amazing cinematic achievement. Together they make a wondrously believable couple that I've never stopped to question for an instant. I know a lot of people don't like Jim Carrey that much because he's been in a lot of rubbish stuff, but the guy can certainly act when given the opportunity, and Kate Winslet is simply brilliant. At it's heart, it's a brilliantly acted bittersweet love story that avoids all cliches, feels uncannily real and ultimately engages the viewer emotionally on so many levels (which is rare for a Kaufman film, despite the guy's obvious artistic talent). But this isn't half the reason it's so good. It's based on an interesting premise, it's artistically shot and edited, and the story is told in an ingeniously innovative way. But this isn't half the reason it's This film is wondrously creative, entertaining, clever and thought-provoking. This film is wondrously creative, entertaining, clever and thought-provoking.

It looks like it was filmed inside someone's head - clausterphobic, impressionistic, etc. This film could have easily felt pseudointellectual had it not been for the way the film was shot. Romantic love leads us in that venture and this movie delves into the most sensitive areas of that process. Darwinian thought (as well as just about any religious thought) tells us that procreation is perhaps the most important of our human functions. But, if for just one moment, you allow yourself to 'get into' this movie, you will have a deeper experience than you've ever had while viewing movie. It's painful to watch at times because it dissects what most of us try to repress most of the time. It's not a love story, it's an internal examination of what love does to your mind. What a piece of art! This movie goes deep into the heart of romantic love. I saw it in the theater when it premiered 4 years earlier. It's not a love story, I had a chance to see this movie again in 2008 for only the second time.
