They are 21 years old this Wednesday of the premiere of this film by Charly Kaufman winner of Dos Oscars for Best Screenplay and Actress. Starring Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey, she tells the story of a couple who wants to erase from memory after separation. And of the machine that is capable of achieving it, although at some point it can fail.
It all started with two superstars as Kate Winslet and Jim Carreythe first consecrated after “Titanic”, Only a trigger to offer huge jobs to “Mare of Eastown”, and the second the most pochoclero of the county after “Silly and stitches” either “The mask” but with an incursion to cult cinema with “Truman Show”.
This is the pair of unthinkable but cranked by Charly Kaufman, Who put them in Clementine and Joel’s skin, a couple who separates and decides to be erased. Perhaps with germ of the idea of “Intensely” And those central memories that are not erased or dyed from other emotions, this film proposed precisely a company that deals with erase people from memories. In “Intensely” Cheerful memories are blurred in blue when they are sad, in this it is possible that a person of a central memory can be eroded and canceled. “Delte” and direct to the recycling paper.
21 years of the premiere of “eternal glow of a mind without memories” are turned
As an attempt to avoid pain or duel, at the beginning of the film you can see people in the waiting room, sitting with boxes full of objects associated with the person to forget. The material as a bridge to memory and oblivion. This cult film and winner of two Oscars (best script and best actress) Orill all kinds of topics, from the complexity of emotions to the metamorphosis of feelings. He gave up any adolescent idealization of the couple, friends, and became something more real.
The film marked a milestone at the artistic level, from the script of Kaufman (“You want to be John Malcovich”, “orchid thief”, about the blockade of a writer, with Nicolas Cage), The non -linearity in the story, so typical of the current series and that marked a starting point 21 years ago. Surrealist images build the plot through sensory. The functioning of memories and the possibility of being able to get into them, a tour of the life line itself as a scenography to visit.
As in “Intensely”, One memory overlaps with the other and invades the previous one modifying it: but in the family animation film the story revolves around Riley, while here the effect of the rain of another memory that breaks into the living room or bed or snow is not so accessible to the understanding of the viewer.
The characters fleeing from the machine that erases, hiding in the most hidden memories, the most Dark or shameful, are unique poetry and creativity. It is that in the midst of the forgetting process, Joel’s character realizes that he wants to stop the treatment and tries to stop and get off, erasing himself from the map of the marked memory so they cannot find it.
Legend account that Winslet and Carrey They built a peculiar bond to achieve that intimacy, while secondary characters, Freaks Nerds employees, and the boss are vital, sparkling and unique. Although Joel and Clementine They are deleted, meet again and again are attracted. That unstoppable chemistry, fate, karma or the inevitable.
“Eternal glow of a mind without memories” It can be seen in Netflix.
