It took me forever to remember the entire title of this movie. Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. It is such a great movie title for an Art Film. It definitely makes you wonder what it is about. After watching the movie I now know that the confusing title reflects the confusing movie. Well confusing until the end. I had to pay close attention to the the story to catch all it's insights. The plot played off of it self and was very interesting. It was such an interesting concept what would really happen if you just erased someone from your memory. Would face really step in and lead you back together. I almost hope it would, but am not willing to find out for myself.  I don't think i would ever want to erase my memory. Even if you have hard times in a relationship there are always good ones to balance the bad times out.  Well this is what me and a friend had to talk about after watching the movie. Enjoy!

hey heather

Heather Hayworth says:

Hey!

So what did you think about that movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Shelby K says:

i thought it was quite strange, it kept going back and forth between past and present and memories

Heather Hayworth says:

I know it was really confusing, i thought it would never make sense.

Shelby K says:

yea, ive seen movies like that before but i didnt expect the movie to be like that when it started, orginially I thought there was something wrong with the guy, that he had some sort of disorder or something that made him weird

Heather Hayworth says:

i was thinking that to i thought they both have mental problems, or something.

Shelby K says:

yea i kept trying to analyse this guy and his social situations and i was thinking that he must have some form of autsim

Heather Hayworth says:

yah he did seem to have difficulties interacting with people, the girl did as well though

I thought it was really interesting how the movie kept switching around, it made you want to pay attention to what was going on , so you didn't miss anything

Shelby K says:

yea you definatly get wraped up in the story because their are so many things going on, especially because the concept of erasing your memory is so strange it makes you watch to see how they attempt to do that. I thought it was going to end badly in the end, that he was going to wake up and remember her still

Heather Hayworth says:

I was thinking that to, the whole situation seem bound for disaster. it was so strange, it was something i would have never thought people would do or want to do

Shelby K says:

yea they make the concept to erasing your memory so easy though so its weird when you think about it in real life, but thats what makes the film unique, the way it is presented

did you notice those little potato head people?

Heather Hayworth says:

haha yes!

that was kinda funny, definitely something creative. do you they represented people?

Shelby K says:

yea she definatly had a whole family collection of them, at first when i saw them i thought they were kind of like voodoo dolls haha, so i was like oh man this girl is definatly crazy!

Heather Hayworth says:

oh haha really! thats so funny. i wouldn't be surprised if they were.

what did you think about the background music to the movie, i think it added to make it more of an art film

Shelby K says:

yea i noticed the music at the beginning when they were on the train, it was like not a happy sound, that would typically be in a movie, but it wasnt sad it just was unique in the fact that right off the bat it gave you this little suspisious feeling that something was different

Heather Hayworth says:

yah it did..

it change the whole feel of the movie... it wasn't a typical hollywood movie that's for sure

Shelby K says:

yea and usually they have more of a happy ending, where this movie i was like oh ok they know they erased their memory, but that was it they were just like oh ok, like it was no big deal

Heather Hayworth says:

yahh... i thought they would have reacted a little more to the whole thing

Shelby K says:

yea the way the blonde girl mary reacted was what i expected

Heather Hayworth says:

yes, she did act more like i typically would think. i guess thats why its more of an art film. it makes you think.

Shelby K says:

yea the way the movie presents it self is artistic in its own way, anyways, it was weird, but cool at the same time

Heather Hayworth says:

Yah it was. Something to think about.

Art Word of the Week: Space - the way in which the artist chooses to use the canvas, paper, objects,.


In this movie space can be seen by the way the film maker decided to cut the clips. It was shown when he cut clips short moving one to the next quickly, and in the flash backs he created. This movie was an example of using space as an element of the artistic elements of the movie.
