I have to say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is now one of my favorite movies. This movie has the ability to draw in an audience by twisting the plot, so much that you may have to watch the film numerous timses to fully understand it. While some people may think that that aspect could take away from the movie, when they finally watch the film I think that they will find the plot is so enjoyable the confusion doesn't hit them as much. It is more a film where you catch new things each time you watch the film. Without Mr. Klobachar's assistance while viewing the film, I think I would be out renting this film just to reanalyze certain parts to see if I can set things straight.

One of the aspects of this film that sets that confusion is the ordering of flashbacks versus what is actually happening. Are these flashbacks really flashbacks? Or is Joel reliving the events of his life in his head. Sometimes it seems it is a memory, but other times Joel is actually changing his past which leads to the question of flashback or not? Some flashbacks are more obvious than others. The obvious ones include dissolves, blurred faces, muffled sound, and crumbling setting. When these things aren't being shown is when the question comes about.

Without the somewhat confusing, but not overly-distracting, plot line, I don't think this movie wouldn't have grabbed me so much. Because it draws me in and leaves me wanting more, I strongly believe this movie could keep me entertained everytime I watch it.
