Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind

Alexander Pope poem:
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned;

There are handful of movies which are made with such skill, such art as this one. Charlie Kauffman's genius and Michael Gondry, aha. And there is Kate Winslet ensuring that the execution is flawless and Jim Carey gives his life's best performance. Music gives the added flavour and Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and Eljiah Wood as sidekicks just bring together pieces to make it an all time classic.

ESOTSM should be watched whenever there is a doubt in mind about what should be watched. Each prayer accepted, each wish resigned.
