Yay, I had a wonderful night yesterday, thanks to the amazing movie I watched: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This movie is really awesome and definitely in my All Time Best Movies List.

I heard about this movie when my friend told me about it. His opinion was simple: "The best love movie I ever watched!". I know I gotta watch this when I heard it. My feeling after finishing the movie is the same. This is going to be the best love movie I ever watched. I've watched a love story this nice for a very very long time.

The movie is about a couple which undergoes a procedure to erase each other from their memories when their relationship turns sour, but it is only through the process of loss that they discover what they had to begin with....

The story is a blast and feels very original. The casting is great too, I never expect Jim Carrey to act so damn well, because he only reminds me of some not-very-funny comedy. This movie totally changes my view on him. He can really act!! Kate Winslet's performance even won her an Oscar nomination.

Other than that, I can't really explain why I like this movie so much. It just gives you this amazing feeling that you can't get it off your mind for a long time. And I like movies like that. Not many movies can give me such strong impressions. People who watched it will understand what I'm saying.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd

its surprise for me when jim carrey didnt over acting.. like ace ventura, the mask. Do u get wat i mean? :D

He really can acts very well. Come on give him some serious character role to play. He is not just a comedian.
