Mi madre me contó que yo lloré en su vientre.
A ella le dijeron: tendrá suerte.
Alguien me habló todos los días de mi vida
al oído, despacio, lentamente.
Me dijo: ¡vive, vive, vive!
Era la muerte.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) is one of those movies that makes you sit quietly after it ends.
The idea is crazy but beautiful: imagine being so hurt by someone that you decide to erase every memory of them, only to realize while the memories are disappearing that you still don’t want to lose them.
What I found interesting is how the movie doesn’t present love as something perfect. Joel and Clementine hurt each other, misunderstand each other, and still somehow keep finding their way back to one another.

According to Wong Kar-Wai, "Chungking Express" (1994) and "Fallen Angels" (1995) should be considered as a single film which is 3 hours long and watched as a double bill. When he was asked, why he had made these two stories which have no relationship at all to each other and how he could connect them, he replied,
"The main characters of 'Chungking Express' are not Fay Wang or Takashi Kaneshiro, but the city itself, the night and day of Hong Kong. 'Chungking Express' and 'Fallen Angels' together are the bright and dark of Hong Kong.”
He further added,
"I see the films as inter-reversible, the character of Fay Wang could be the character of Takashi in 'Fallen Angels'; Brigitte Lin in Chungking could be Leon Lai in 'Fallen Angels'. All of their characters are inter-reversible. Also, in Chungking we were shooting from a very long distance with long lenses, but the characters seem close to us."
P.S: On this day, 31 years ago, "Fallen Angels" (1995) was released in Hong Kong.
