When i saw this movie, I had no clue how much of a thrill ride it was going to be. I had heard much about this film as one of the greatest movies of the decade, and it is so much more than that. I was shocked, interested, and moved at how Charlie Kaufman could create such a beautiful and surprisingly plausible atmosphere to the films strange yet amazing plot.
The film stars Jim Carrey in I think his best role as Joel, a man whom we know nothing about throughout the whole film, except for that he falls in love with a girl named Clementine (Kate Winslet) early on in the film. That's all there is to know about the movie to really understand it. Charlie Kaufman does something amazing here as he secretly tells us not trust or believe anything that we make of the rest of the film, because well... i wont say but it does involve a machine that erases memories and inner thoughts of the mind that can only be found in our minds rather then in reality, which is what Kaufman does an extraordinary job of doing here.
Overall, this purely brilliant (and when i mean brilliant, i actually mean it) filmaking. As i look back at some details of the film, I just remember how amazing it all really is. I plan on seeing this film in the future again, mabye even today; not because it's confusing, but because i bet i can get more and more out of the film.
This is one of the greats of our times and should not be missed by anyone who grew up this decade. Whoever said that American films are getting worse and worse by the years, obviously hasn't seen the brilliance nor power of what this film can do. This will go on to be one of the best classics of all time, I guarentee it!
