i saw this movie last night and it fucking blew me away. the whole premise, the way its carried out, the perfect actors for every part...... michael gondry and charlie kaufman are geniouses. literally every single frame of this movie could be framed and used as a stand alone piece of artwork. i just hugely loved how the movie really delved into the little intricacies of joel and clementine's relationship. just uttely brilliant, i was honestly speechless at the end. WOOOOW. so who else has seen it and what does everyone think? |

we are memories written on time like words on a page... focused on a pivot point called now... the future is only as probable as the past... all we have is now... this is for you. |

"this Kaufman script takes the film-goer on a ride to prove that's what it's all about. The only thing that life in general and relationships specifically, offer are the memories and experiences. Results matter little. " |

it's good of you to drop by again... i'm not sure if we've grown out of our state of assholedome yet... i'm not sure why i'm issuing this greeting because, generally, i'm not one to actually relate to people on this board... usually i just post about music that no one cares about and that's that... but i did notice that you have returned (if perhaps only for a moment) and thought i'd say hello... -ps i am a fucking disgusting neurotic piece of humanity for somehow twisting a simple greeting into being about me... feel free to disregard this post in other news, i reckon i'm going to see this tonight... woo |

i saw this today and i thought it was stunning for many reasons. |
||||||||
|

i saw it last night. i also thought it was great. |

It's shit. Just pure shit. And Jim Carrey cannot act. |
||||||||
|

well, i saw this this afternoon. i thought it was brilliantly written and directed and i really loved the movie, except for one thing - the acting. and bear in mind, i went in with no prejudices about this film - i give actors the benefit of the doubt with rare exceptions. i really tried to get into the movie, but every time jim carrey said something, it was like he was the same exact character as charlie kaufman (nicholas cage) in adaptation (the neurotic, middle-aged guy who's intensely, painfully nervous around women and can't talk to them at all). and he and kate winslet had their moments where the acting was good, but overall, it prevented me from really believing them. i just felt like kaufman wrote himself into a movie he should have stayed out of. aside from that one element, i thought the movie was really beautiful and inspired. gondry shone through with his innovative, off-beat directing style. i loved how the whole thing was very surreal and basically one long dream sequence. the writing was genius, as one would expect. i saw it with some friends, none of whom had a problem with the acting - they all loved it. so maybe it's just me - maybe i was being too picky. but in all honesty, i felt the acting detracted from the movie. which is actually upsetting, given how great a movie it is. i was just wondering what others thought about the acting... anyone else think it was too forced? |

I lied. I haven't seen this movie and I really want to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! i am very much looking forward to stealing the dvd of this! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, actually the acting seemed a little bit off at parts... to be honest i think it was as much an error with the script as it was the acting though... didn't quite mesh at all times... but it was pretty interesting for the most part... |

i really dont get how anyone can have a single thing negative to say about this film. i just dont get it. its darn-near perfect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know man... i'd definitely say it was quite good... but i'm still kind of weary of the gimmickry of a lot of directors these days... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think anything gondry has ever done is a gimmick... a carefully planned and timed out illusion, yes. but a gimmick entails something being solely done to make a buck, and i hardly think gondry could ever qualify as box-office fare. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just curious what particular things you thought were gimmicks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i'm not necessarily saying that there were gimmicky things about it... but like i said, i am kind of weary of that type of thing in movies like these... i'm weary of it, specifically in this film, because of Kaufmann's track record of being the king of crazy scripts... and let's face it, this movie shares a lot with several other films kaufmann has written... i dunno, i just feel like i have to see it again before i can really be certain of any judgement i might pass on it... and there are some films where i certainly don't have to do that, because you can feel their perfection in everything that happens in them.... so i guess this is a long-winded way of saying i disagree with the idea that this film is perfect... |

i dont think his writing is "crazy"... it seems like something elderly people would say about it. this movie is by no means uncoherent. its a bit quirky, but in a very real-life way. and as for kauffman's writing, thank GOD that someone is finally writing good films in hollywood. he's gonna do for film what vaunegut did for lit, and i couldnt be happier. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't mean crazy like our parents mean crazy... i know exactly what you are talking about that and i don't mean it that way at all... i watch shit a million times less coherent than this and it doesn't bother me one iota... i feel like i'm defending a stance that i don't really care to take here... cause i thought the film was one of the best i've seen in that's come out in the last year or so... but stanley kauffman is not the best thing american cinema has to offer these days... you probably aren't even saying that... i think i just need to be a part of a conversation right now or something... who knows... |
||||||||

|
|
hahahahahahaha its charlie, but yeah... he's not the be all end all of cinema, but dude.... hes definitely one of the most intersting thigns to come down a relatively uninteresting pipe in awhile |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't argue that for a second... adaptation and this have been two of my favourite films to come down the hollywood pipes recently... but i must air my preference for the stylings of wes anderson and gus van sant... wes anderson especially... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah... not stanley... goddamnit |
||||||||
|

For those interested, this film opens on 30th April in the UK. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah now i know why i said Stanley Kaufmann: he's the dude who directed Henry and June, and Quills... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with you on wes anderson, hes in my top 3 fav directors right now tennenbaums is easily one of my 5 fav films |
||||||||

the predominant materialist model of reality is starting to weigh very heavily on our world. i'm very glad to see charlie kaufman pulling his thumb from the dyke, without judging, attacking or taking for granted the connections between people. we're overdue for a flood, i think. |
||||||||

i thought the acting was fantastic. i also really loved how it took something that could easily have been just a gimmik movie, but rather than just present a couple rules and let the movie pan out, it thoroughly explored every aspect of the gimmik. it shows the procedure, it shows the characters before and after and during the procedure. and it shows the effects on many characters. it is this domino effect that i found really fascinating. Like Memento, but with more facets i guess. i wrote a review of it at netflix which i kinda explain this better. |

just saw this film it is wonderful glimpse of dreams and memories. colours and realness. ho shit yeah inventive poem like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I thought it was really well done, and a breath of fresh air compared to the the current competition. I haven't yet seen Adaptation (partly because I'm not a great Nic Cage fan) but I will soon. But yeah, great film, really good - has its own aura. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Very good, yes. I think that most of what needs to be said has been said, so I'm saying nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd like to see this film and stuff. |
||||||||
