Saw a movie last night, and as always, the title escapes me. It starred Jim Carey and ah yes it was called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. Kate Winslett was co-star.
It's about a relationship, and like all relationships it wasn't perfect. Anyway they both opt to have the memory of the other erased. This produces a whacky and surreal film that was compelling and thought provoking.
We all have memories that we'd rather not have, and maybe it would make for a happier life if those could be eradicated. On the other hand, as the characters found, removal of those memories may not be as desirable as one might imagine. In amongst all the pain and anguish lie wonderful thoughts that are worth clinging to, even if they do cause pain. If nothing else, memories may prevent us making the same mistakes again, though that is debatable.
It's raining again, My Mother says that her home town is cut off by the floods - Summer eh?
