I just watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." It made me sad. Not like a wistful sad, well, not the usual wistful that I usually feel when a movie makes me sad. It wasn't depressing either. It just has me in a very melancholy sort of mood. I very much like the quote from Eloisa to Abelard in Alexander Pope's poem, "How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! / The world forgetting, by the world forgot / Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! / Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd." O yes and the other quote that Kirsten Dunst said - this one's from Nietzsche - "Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders. "
Good movie. I think the moment that got me the most was the one little tear Joel had as he was trying to wake up and they sedated him again. Sound sad now? It's even sadder in context.
