I finally got round to watching my DVD of Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. And it was worth it.
I knew from the start that there was something different going on. It just felt it. Along of course with the truly brilliant acting from Jim Carey and Kate Winslet. Great stuff, it's one of those great Jim Carey films. (It seems he only does great or terrible, binary style). It took me a while to actually figure out the mystery twist, and I enjoyed it, very satisfying.
I won't say too much about the plot except that it's a brilliant what-if examination of memory loss, an old SF trope, but the execution is perfect. It's the sort of SF that's so good that people trip over themselves to deny that it is SF. But it is.
It was top of my SF films that I haven't seen list. Done. Very satisfying. Next.
