I have a soft spot for the genre known as dark comedy I would call it by its real name but black comedy makes most people think of Tyler Perry movies. The dark comedy is the type of movie you can watch with a multitude of people and few will laugh but many will become sad or enveloped in the drama. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of those movies I love to show other people. I recommend it as the perfect date movie if you have fallen in love, because it will place you both in an odd position that only ends in happiness.
The film starts with Joel waking up he is portrayed by Jim Carrey and this his best role. Joel decides to go to the beach where he meets Clementine but plot twist they have already met and both have had all their memories of each other wiped clean. They wiped their memories because they had a brutal breakup the movie takes us in Joel's head during the wiping process. I don't want to give anymore away so lets leave it at that.
This film is very beautiful and quite funny if you chose to see it that way. But there is something there that is a level deeper. This movie is about us and our struggles in life I dare to say not one of you won't connect with Joel or Clementine. This movie penetrates our hearts and our minds because we have all gone through similar experiences. On another note this film is massively designed just as our brain is. Go on Netflix and watch this movie now it is beyond great. It will make you feel as few movies have.
Ebert's score 4 stars
Tyler's score 4 stars
