My Thoughts
The official trailer for this movie is so terrible and misleading.
It probably hurt this movie’s success, which is a shame.
More people did not see it until years after it was made.
I include myself in this group.
They would have probably watched this movie if it had a better trailer.
I used a fan-made trailer at the beginning of this post.
It is much better and more honest than the official trailer.
When I saw this movie years ago for the first time, it was during the evening or night.
I was alone on a computer.
I was in a contemplative mood.
The movie surprised me, and I enjoyed it.
It affected me significantly.
I was amazed by
Jim Carrey’s performance.
It was surprising and great to see him in a serious or normal role.
I liked his character,
Joel Barish.
I also liked Kate Winslet’s acting and her character,
Clementine Kruczynski.
This movie was ahead of its time in some ways.
It is a surprising mix of genres.
It somewhat reminds me of the movie
Inception but in a more comedic and dramatic way.
This comparison is good because Inception is one of my favorite movies.
This is not your usual romance movie.
It is refreshing.
It managed to be more realistic than some romance movies.
Furthermore, it still includes various surreal and science fiction moments with a bit of comedy.
I did not like it as much the second time that I watched it.
The second time I watched it with my brother GC.
He did not seem very interested in the movie.
I liked it more the first time that I watched it.
It is a movie best watched at the right time.
The right environment, mood, and company also enhance the experience.
Then you can really enjoy it more.
This is a movie that more people should see at least once.
It may surprise you, too.
Just make sure that you watch it at the right time and in the right environment for you.
I would give it a 4 out of 5 as a movie.
It might deserve a 5 out of 5 as a romance movie.
