There's something about him after all. Beautifully shot, all these colorful throwing from memory at gg deserve a huge bow to the count.designers and other creative people who worked on the picture.
In addition, I thought about the fact that the moments lived with some people are damn important, there is no need to rush to burn bridges and it is worth enjoying and cherishing the moment, my friend,
because it can be truly beautiful and unique, but most likely you will understand this only when it is a piece of memory of the distant past.

Если не говорить о самом сюжете сейчас, а тем более о характере данного фильма как об одном из примеров с присутствием маник пикси дрим герл, то скажу, что фильм все равно особенный, который сложно повторить. Не из-за содержания, а подачи что актеров, что и режиссуры.

Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey are just insanely cute here, Kerry is generally an underrated dramatic actor for me.

Is it possible to assume that the secretary herself did not want to undergo the procedure, but agreed only after the psychological pressure of the doctor, when the wife found out?

One of my favorite movies with my favorite actors. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey are great here. Jim Carrey was very impressed with his performance. It was unexpected and very cool to see him in a dramatic role)

Интересное наблюдение:
Закрытого человека сыграл Джим Керри, у которого амплуа открытых и веселых персонажей.
А веселого импульсивного персонажа наоборот Кейт Уинслет, которая в большинстве случаев воплощается в серьезных персонажей (вспомним самый яркий пример Розу из Титаника).
Получилось ли у них химия? Определенно, да. Было ли странно? Определенно, да)

П.С.: Ну и работники года эти стиратели памяти. Их всех надо уволить кроме начальника, хотя тот тоже не без греха. И кажется что он стер память Кирстен Дантс под давлением.

It's a good movie, but you have to watch it a couple of times to understand it. It's not usual to see Jim in a serious role.

I was very surprised by Jim Carrey's performance, as many people are used to seeing him as only an actor of one genre.
The picture was shot, for me, gently, calmly, with a soul. From the middle of the film, the thought flashed "and what... if the beginning of the film is not...?" After watching it, I want to think about my past, about the people who hurt you, did I erase my memories? Have I erased all the lessons I've received? A couple of good moments?
It is a very strong act of Mary that she returned the opportunity to choose: to know that someone has been in their lives for a long time and left such a big and dirty mark that he has already crossed out everything.
Would I erase the memories? In the case of one person, I really want to, because it was a small incomprehensible ugly period that tried to be worked out by conversations, but this person did not grow up and later behaved very ugly, although we established communication and talked everything through. But I understand that it will get easier over time and it's really a great experience to talk and eventually leave when everything crosses the line. Plus, I've become less amorous. And thanks for that

A wonderful movie that proves that Jim Carrey can play not only in comedies.
It was a wonderful 2 hours. At first you think: "Like a waking dream", then "maybe it wasn't a dream"

The film is very emotional and makes you take a fresh look at relationships and the meaning of memories. After watching, there remains a feeling of bitterness and delight at the same time. This is one of those paintings that stay with you for a long time and encourage you to think.

Besides the fact that this is at least technically a very cool movie (which is not worth talking about – it needs to be seen), there is a lot to learn from it.

First of all, that you need to be able to let go. People, love, relationships. And let go on time! Until all the good things that happened inevitably begin to take on sad shades in memory, because the "present" is rotting and crumbling.

And the most important thing is not to forget why you once said goodbye to something you loved so dearly, not to succumb to the tricks of our consciousness, which so likes to forget about the bad over time and remember only the good.

In general, the film provokes very interesting reflections on how cunningly our brain is woven. It happens that it was more often bad than good with a person, but still you wouldn't agree to erase the image from your memory for any price. It's very valuable.

For me, the seemingly happy ending of this picture is not like that at all. But neither Joel nor Clementine can be blamed for falling into the same trap again. They're in a special situation. The only hope is that in this attempt they will understand when to break up, and will not bring everything to the same bile.

I don't get it, but was Jimi Kerry banned from the Lighthouse? Or why isn't he in the cast?

Back in 2006, I accidentally bought a DVD of this movie. "Jim Carrey must be a good and funny movie," I thought.
The film turned out to be special and has remained in my heart forever.
The year is 2025, and I'm still watching Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play in this movie with the same adoration.

The film would only benefit if it significantly reduced the number of surreal scenes. Their symbolism is clear, but they have been too much delayed and confused. The beginning and ending take everything out, but the middle, with running around in the hero's mind, greatly spoils the impression. The film is just good in the end, but it could have become a favorite...

I saw this movie for the first time just today. Everything was going well until 5:43 p.m., and then some kind of terrible Nolan-style drug addiction began. I can't stand films like this, where the director and the screenwriter put some kind of "deep meaning" only they understand and begin to rape the brains of the audience. And after all, high marks, critical acclaim. Everyone understood the meaning of this film, I'm the only one who feels like an idiot : (Explain for the stupid, what is this film about and what did the authors want to say? Exploring the topic of love, memory, and the importance of both good and painful memories? Even difficult moments can play an important role in personality formation, and trying to forget about the past can deprive a person of valuable lessons and spiritual growth?
Could the whole idea have been expressed in a simpler way in a film? Why these games of a sick director's mind?

@san: I liked the movie 2 times when I read what this movie is about. The first time I looked, I also thought what kind of drug-addicted psychedelics)))))The second time you watch with an understanding of what is happening, the film becomes clearer and more interesting.But it's also all about the amateur and the attitude to what they want to convey..

The message is understood, but it did not go far. I love the main actors, but I was absolutely not touched by the love story of their characters. It's sad, but this story didn't get me hooked on anything, although there were expectations. Just for once.
