The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Last night I rented 'The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'. My friend Mariana says it's her favourite movie, so I had heard of it, but had never actually seen the film.

It's funny you know, I often buy a book, or note a movie, but never read/watch until a later date or time. The funny thing is, that I do read/watch exactly when I am suppose to, and usually with profound revelation.

I bought Marianne Williamson's book 'A Return to Love:Reflections on the Principles of A course in Miracles' back in 1992, and didn't read it until 2 years ago. It's as if I new I was to read it, but had to wait for the right moment in time.

I had never seen the movie 'City of Angels', until my friend Eva brought the movie into my life. I watched it, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Right moment and time.

Anyway...that was a long winded explanation to the fact that I FINALLY saw 'The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'. It made me think about painful relationships that I may have had in my past, and whether or not I would want to 'remove' the memories from my head? Ultimately I decided that no, I would not have them removed.

As painful as certain events are in our lives, I believe that they are all part of who we are today, and that the old saying "what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" is more true than not.

It's a really poignant film, the cinematography is brilliant, and some amazing performances are delivered by the cast of actors.

If you haven't seen the movie, rent it one Sunday afternoon, it will make you think!
