This is a lovely film and if you like originality with a sense of fantasy with a love story, then I suggest you see it. He does what most people do and becomes a little opportunistic, travels the world, robs a couple banks. The premise is simple, the main character discovers through a childhood mishap he can teleport. Tom Wilkinson once again proves that he is one of the best British actors of his generation and he is backed up by great performnces from Kirsten Dunst and a post-LOTR Elijah Wood. Lost in the myriad of superhero films of the last 20 years, Jumper is kinda an anomaly. The sub plots involving the supporting characters who are operating are ingenius. Gondry's diection gives a bittersweet flavour to the tale. When watching this you generally care for Carrey and Winslet, in much the same way as Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in "Lost In Translation". The eccentricity of the story, which is Kaufman's trademark, once again works excellently. Screenwriter Charlie Kaufmans bizarre love story about a man who has all memories of his girlfriend erased after they break up. You have off the wall images such as Carrey re-enacting his 4 year old self along his journey in his head. Kaufman's story of a man going into a surreal dream world is not too dissimilar from his earlier work, "Being John Malkovich". Kate Winslet is also brilliant as his unpredictable, adventurous girlfriend. Out of all the perfomances where he has stepped into the dramtic role (The Truman Show, Man on the Moon, The Majestic), this has got to be his best yet. He performs with sensitivity and warmth, never once verging on the manic rubber faced lunacy to which he is most well known for. If anyone was in doubt as to whether Jim Carrey can act, this is the film that will put all doubt out of the way. Much to Joel's distress, he decides to do the same, but during his operation he revisits memories of Clementine that he struggles to let go of. Dr Howard Mierwick (Tom Wilkinson) has performed an operation on her brain after Clementine visited his clinic to forget Joel. He later finds out that the reason for this is that Clementine has had her memory of Joel wiped out completely.
A short while after their split, he meets her again while she is working at a library and he is stunned to discover that she doesn't recognise him. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has one. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind doesnt have the best soundtrack/score I have ever heard in my life, but the score makes the film all the more moving, while the soundtrack is well selected and appropriate. "Eternal Sunshine" centres around the life of Joel (Jim Carrey) a shy, mild mannered man who is heart broken after splitting from his feisty, impulsive girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet). Another impressive asset was the soundtrack/score. With a name like Jim Carrey, this second collaboration couldn't go wrong in terms of box office success, and nor should it as this film is quite simply brilliant. After a lukewarm reception in 2001 with "Human Nature", Charlie Kaufman has teamed up with director, Michel Gondry again for this romatic fantasy.
