How happy is the blameless Vestal’s lot!The world forgetting, by the world forgot.Eternal sun-shine of the spotless mind!Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resigned.watched this movie after i came back from watching harry potter which i'll prob blog bout tomorrow. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. its a bittersweet tragic love story i guess. people who are healing a broken heart or are just emo shouldn't watch it cos it'll just make them cry. story is about a couple who fell in love but the relationship just kept going to an all time low and they decided to have each other erased from each other's memory so that they could forget bout this phase of their lives. many scenes are bout how jim carrey, after agreeing to undergo this procedure regrets that he ever made that decision and tries to resist the procedure while he undergoes it. he kept taking kate winslet to other memories of his life, thinking that he could hide her in that memory. the story's abit complicated. have to watch from the start kind. but its really ... hmm... how do i put it... really makes you feel something. an emotion deep down. that sense of loss and fear of losing something so dear to you. like jim carrey when kate winslet just disappears suddenly when he's reliving those memories. he chases her but never catches her. he drags her to places but never manages to keep her there. she just disappears. i guess our memories dont disappear like that. but they still do. even worse, they disappear without us ever knowing it. that's scary aint it. i might just forget someone or something that meant alot to me before. unlike them, we don't get to meet these people or do these things again and we don't get to fall in love or build that friendship all over again after learning that we once were those things. "run ... come on run!" doesn't really have a use. its scary to see everything else disappear. the people, the buildings, the car, the old movie theatre etc. and eventually, that very thing that he was trying to hold on to will disappear too. does it always work that way? somehow, the things that we want so much to hold on to just are the things that disappear from our lives completely. i don't get it. why would it happen that way? is it cos if we hold a little bird in our hand too tightly, it'll die? so we should just not hold on to things and then they'll stay? but if you're not trying to hold on to it, you wouldn't even know if its still there would you? would they really have been happier not knowing that they knew each other before? i don't know. maybe. cos some memories are just too painful to bear. but i'd keep them anyhow. because painful memories are what makes the sweet ones sweeter.For winter's rains and ruins are over,And all the season of snows and sins;The days dividing lover and lover,The light that loses, the night that wins;And time remembered is grief forgotten,And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,And in green underwood and coverBlossom by blossom the spring begins.~ Algernon Charles Swinburne
