It's like Jim Carrey had a serious twin brother. As Joel, however, he is a completely different person.
wow! I've always liked him as the hilarious Comedian he is, but I never thought that his performances in "The Truman Show" and "Man On The Moon" were that much of a departure from his funny-man side. Sure, there are five creepy images per minute, but have you ever seen such an original, weird picture? Mind you, I'm not saying that lots of effects automatically make for a good direction, but in this case it really helped to underline the story, not distracting from it.
Having read the script, I know that Gondry deserves lots of credit for bringing this beautiful story to life. Some say "Eternal Sunshine." was over-directed. The content of his story is always highly philosophical without ever being smart alec. I love the way Kaufman shows the fate of individuals and derives universally true rules from it. How does he come up with all these original, flawless scripts? Finally there's someone who uses the possibilities of cinema to the fullest. Was the ending happy or sad? I cannot tell, but it's deeply touching. It's been one week since I saw the movie and I still cannot stop thinking about it. There's only one way to describe "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind": perfect.
