When memories can be erased...

Yesterday night,saw a very good movie after some time: Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.Now, I know where the Tamil movie: "Aa Aaah" was inspired from. Not that SJ Surya has copied it scene by scene, but yeah the central idea is same. But the Tamil movie, the director had the memories wear blue apparels so that audience dont get confused, but here in English, there is nothing like that. Thats what makes the movie more interesting to watch:which one is the memory and which one is the real. Initially, it was difficult for me to find that out, but later as the movie went on, it was simple.One thing which of course you can use to distinguish is Kate Winslet's hair colour: the memories are all red,and in the present she has the hair dyed in blue colour. Was surpised to see Jim Carrey in a serious role, and crying! But it all made sense later as to why he was chosen, when he has to act like a child.

Was able to understand nothing with the initial scenes as to whats going on with this movie. Later,at the end, when the first few scenes of the film get repeated again, it all made sense as to why those scenes were there in the first place. Very interesting theme, where the memories fight hard to make two people unite.If you can make yourself comfortable with the idea that science has advanced to such a stage that it can selectively erase certain memories which you wish to forget, then do watch the movie. Otherwise, you would call this movie a crap.Hmm, who knows a day may come when we can selectively erase our memories(People do suffer from various forms of amnesia, especially our politicians! )

Overall, movie worth a watch.I liked it.
