Sunshine of the Spotless Mind



This is one of the most unusual movies I have ever seen. The films follows two people who undergo a medical procedure to have each other erased from there memories. However it's only after they have this procedure that they realize what they lost by having it done.
Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet star as the the couple within the movie, both characters are odd and quirky, one very outspoken and outgoing, the other quiet and complacent. The thing that really stood out about this movie is how it is shot, you get pieces of the story, sections of the plot and as the film progresses it starts to play on your mind until all is finally revealed in its dramatic conclusion.
It delves deep into the characters minds and shows a side to on screen characters you don't normally see, I liked this sense of getting inside the characters minds, as it truly opened them both up. One of the things that this movie will leave with me is the idea of appreciating what you have, and really thinking whats worth working for. Also a very odd idea that if I had the choice is there anything with my life I wish I could erase from memory. it really made me consider the things in my life I value and the things I don't, and whether it would be worth changing what I'm doing.
