Three weeks of doing absolutely nothing except for eating and reading and sleeping provides me lots of ample time for some really really good films. But my taste is really ughh... or so Palah says. I am boring, I know. But at least I please myself in being so. I gave up hope trying to be a chill, relaxed, humorous person. Apparently, I'm not.
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind is a 2004 movie. I hated the title at first. Doesn't it sound like THE most boring title you've ever heard of in your entire life? I got it from my friend somewhere around three years ago. It stayed in my hard disk for many many months without me watching it. It looked boring, the poster looked boring, the actor and actresses looked so ordinary, it revolves around ordinary people.
Except with the memory-deleting thing, of course.
Until last week I decided to try watching it for at least half an hour before deciding on whether to delete the damn movie or not. I ended up finishing the movie feeling so emotionally impacted, not reduced into tears but still... my heart was wrenched [over-dramatic,much?] and the story kept haunting me for the next five days.
So yeah, after three years of rotting uselessly inside my hard disk, Eternal Sunshine has been elevated to top the list of my FAVOURITE FILMS OF ALL TIME.
For now. Even Merong Mahawangsa has yet to make it into that list. Don't think it will, though. Nevermind, there's always the HUGEST DISSAPOINTMENT OF ALL TIME WITH THE BOMBASTIC TRAILER list.
So Eternal was really good.
Do watch it if :-
1] you know how to love
2] you don't show your love much
3] you hate your loved ones sometimes that you feel like kicking him or her out of the house
4] you still love him or her notwithstanding how damn annoying or bitchy he or she could be

She was crazy. She was talkative, impulsive, unpredictable.
He was plain boring.
He fell in love with her, he dated her, she broke his heart, she erased him from her memory.
He was frustrated. And intended to do the same.
That's it, buddy. Humans appreciate stuffs only when they're gone, or on the verge of being gone. Same goes with memories. I hate you, get the fuck out of my mind. Who the heck cares bout the happiness we used to have?
A failed relationship. But you loved her anyway. She left. You cursed at her. In reality, you just want her to come back.
So sad, baby. So sad.
I know I am rambling now. Sorry.
The film's idea of deleting the memory of your heartbreak or failed relationship is being utilized quite intelligently. Every ex boyfriends and ex girlfriends would perhaps wish to undergo that process without realizing that there would be at least some things they'd want to keep.
I mean, if you dated that dude for more than three months or so, there must be at least something good to remember, right? Some good memory to cherish beneath his cheating scandals and your unfulfilled perspective on love? Maybe the first date, the first kiss, the first he-gave-you-a-surprise-gift moment? How the hell am I supposed to know, I don't date...
And I tend to appreciate memories of my loved one. Even if they barely know they're loved. Or care nothing of it.

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;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;"
Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
Grace shines around her with serenest beams,
And whisp'ring angels prompt her golden dreams.
For her th' unfading rose of Eden blooms,
And wings of seraphs shed divine perfumes,
For her the Spouse prepares the bridal ring,
For her white virgins hymeneals sing,
To sounds of heav'nly harps she dies away,
And melts in visions of eternal day.
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
