“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” “An unforgettable lover” that awakens memories of love

The movie itself is an unforgettable lover

I think it's a film that I can talk about as much as I want about the filming techniques and behind-the-scenes. This film uses as little CG as possible, and the scene where the sink turns into a bathtub and the scene where it rains inside the house were actually filmed. For comedic actor Jim Carrie, his downer performance in this film was a major turning point. In terms of the structure of the story, Patrick, played by Elijah Wood, is a hidden key figure, and it's interesting to see the chronological tricks organized around him. Mary's heartbreaking love story, played by Kirsten Dunst, is also appealing.

The songs used are also very tasteful, and many people probably bought the soundtrack after watching the movie (as a side note, ``Mr. Blue Sky '' was played at the beginning of `` Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 '') When I remembered this work, I burst into tears).

However, whenever I think of this movie, what comes to mind is not a specific scene or episode, but rather a sweet and sad expression. The feeling of happiness that the two of them felt as they lay on the ice looking up at the sky. The sadness of knowing that the height of happiness will never be renewed. The ``emotional expression'' that oozes out from the screen leaves an impression on me as the core of this film.

A moment when you look back on a love that suddenly ended in your daily life, a flashback in your mind. I think that might be the face of the person I loved at that time. A certain love shown by the facial expressions directed towards me. Something that will never come back. The element of this movie is love that has ended.

The movie itself is an unforgettable lover.

When watching this work, people return to their own love.
