just watched it last night...what a wonderful movie...funny
and sad.. sweet and wild... people keep compairing to
Eternal Sunshine...but its such a different puppy... that
film was Charlie Kaufman through and through...while this is
pure Michel Gondry

I liked it a lot too... but it does stand to compare to
Eternal Sunshine... both movies are sort of subconsious
explorations of human relationships and both are directed by
the same fellow.

ture ture..but Eternal is the work of a master script
writer...so its a lot more cohesive (i know nobody would
have said that about Eternal when it first came
out)...Science is barely held together by the sticky tape
they use for the projects in the film :)...very random and
chaotic....

i enjoyed it alot, both of them are exquisite films. its one
of those movies that only comes around once in a good while
though.

eternal sunshine was half gondry and half kaufman. after
all, gondry worked on the story too, along with pierre
bismuth. and none of that visual invention came from
kaufman. but in terms of the script, that was pure kaufman,
jah.

the science of sleep was surprisingly honest in terms of the
main character's behaviour, which apparently put off a great
deal of the critics. i found it refreshing as i could
actually relate to a character in a modern movie, which i
haven't really been able to do up until this point. and i do
mean that i can relate to his more disagreeable traits, the
type of erratic behaviour you'd never see in a movie that
wants to be liked, which is just about every movie you can
think of. i give it three thumbs up.

Made me laugh out loud in the cinema. I don't tend to do
that much normally.

i felt exactly the same way about it. i identified with the
main character so much, it almost scared me.

people keep talking about how ridiculous he was, how nothing
he did made any sense, and i just keep thinking, "but i
would have done the exact same thing..."

i think i made a thread about this when it came out, but
meh, whatever.
