How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;
I have found gulping typical mushy movies down a Herculean task. Not that I have something against feelings they try to imbibe but execution betrays the novel idea they undertake .which was the last romantic movie which moved me? Which made me wail? Which had an awe inspiring couple in lead and had each single frame of it frozen in my mind? I may not be the most demonstrative person on the earth nor a maudlin who needs excuses to moisten his eyes. Tears may well up there, but with a probability which is waning anyways.
“Eternal sunshine of spotless mind” came as a pleasant surprise which defied typical remorse I used to have after choosing another romantic movie sans strong undercurrents of love. Somewhere down the line I could see a line blurring between wannabes and true lovers. After a longtime I felt I was gliding in a wonderland, was careening off to world of magic and mysticism leaving the much hated reality road.
Novel concept leads to exhilarating cinema. A hopeful and loving heart may win over all odds even the odds stacked in a mind ,ready to refuse reality, ready to forget a true love . Sometimes it is confusing, othertimes perplexing and few moments of despair too, but glimmer of hope may wan, but is always there to beat goliaths of despair and amnesia.
To accept and cling to true love is something only courageous can do. To repel a feeling of vengeance which may so easily creep into human mind and not to forget a true love even when your mind implores you to do is the true love for me. Not to suffocate in maze of myths and hypocrisies of your mind , rather let it know that all tortuous mazes can be made simple because true love has to come out trumps.
Hats off to unpredictably tender and unapologetically twisted romance. In a mind stuffed with few set toxic Hollywood formulae , there is at least a movie which may leave hard nosed persons smile and say “Love is a beautiful feeling”

Brilliantly put...i have jus a songle line-
True love, they say, doesnt have a good ending...It never has an ending at all....
Rightly put vinodh, true love is a journey.a journey of two souls acting in a tandem. specially real life love stories of couple of hugely successful men still moves me: they are Don Bradman and Johnnie Cash. whoever said true love can't be nurtured among happy and successful couple must be in a world of lies .
No one could have put it in better words...I, for one was at a loss after having watched the movie...hats off to you!
very well written!!! and i agree to most of what you have wanted to say here. Keep going...
Luv stings you and you cherish it all your life...
be it conscious or unconscious one tastes it in thier mouth...
It's a a feeling that tells you .. you are a human but leaves you helpless like a puppy...
Falling in love is probably the most amzing thng I have known ..:)
