Beautiful heart shines eternal sunshine

I saw this movie in 2004 and I kind of forgot about it. Looked for it again.

I found out that the heroine is actually Kate Winslet (the heroine of "Titanic"), I didn't recognize it when I first watched it; there was Kirsten Dunst ("Spider-Man" series), and Spider-Man had not yet had a sequel; Elijah Wood (Frodo in "The Lord of the Rings"), the second time I saw it, I only found it familiar, and I found out after checking it. Both Kate and Elijah played very different characters from what I remembered. And then there's Jim Carrey, who I don't know if it's the only non-comedy he's ever done - that's what he seemed to be watching, at least for him.

IMDB is currently ranked 48, which is a very good result. I also saw everyone's high evaluation, but I can't recall it, so I watched it again.

It's a good story, and it's remarkable. The director's technique is also just right, and the editing is excellent. The film's leading actor, director and screenwriter were all nominated for Saturn Awards, but they won only one award that year - Best Science Fiction. Well, it's kind of sci-fi, but I don't think it's a sci-fi movie, not at all. At the Oscars that same year, the film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and nominated for Best Actress - Kate Winslet appears to have been nominated for several awards for this film.

Whether the pain between two people can be solved by forgetting, or whether it can be forgotten at all, is a difficult question. It's like the end of the film doesn't even want to give an answer. Having a second chance doesn't mean they will be happy ever after. There will always be unsatisfactory things in life, and how to deal with them properly rather than avoid them is what we should seriously think about.

    There is almost no warm tone in the whole movie. Jim Carrey is almost melancholy. He realizes that he does not want to erase his memory. The process of constant struggle but powerlessness is too anxious, but even if people in love forget each other, they will still fall in love again. This hope is warm. world forgetting, by the world forgot, each prayer accepted and each wish resigned

    This flashback is so powerful that it's almost impossible to tell which is the real Jim Kelly and which is the cerebral cortex (well, the one with the blue-haired Winslet is the real Jim Kelly). . . . It seems that science fiction (hard and soft) involving consciousness is inseparable from the mind-body dualism, as did Malkovich before Kaufman

  • Joel: Is there any risk of brain damage?

    Howard: Well, technically speaking, the operation is brain damage, but it's on a par with a night of heavy drinking. Nothing you'll miss.
