World at odds (WAO)

No i am not only quoting a line from "the sun also rises" by Ernest Hemingway but i would like to discuss the movie by Mr Gondry, who i may add with the great Charlie Kaufman also wrote a very original screenplay; a rarity.
The rating and chart rank may or maynot do justice for some but the fact that you have not seen this movie shows what you have missed in lieu to this epitome of indie-cinema making.
Can we erase our memories, good or bad? few weeks back researchers cried with joy on proving through tests that a not-so-smiley-faced pill is good enough to do the act. The morality of such a discovery was instantly questioned by some, simply because - would you like a rapist to forget his wicked deed simply so that he starts a new life maybe to commit the aghastly crime again? The notion of learning from mistakes could be wiped off altogether. How Robotic ! - Reset the counter. Eternal Sunshine of the Criminal Mind !
The movie glorifies coincidence. Two different people fall madly in love, differences and fights, the girl erases the guy first( *stresses*) , the guy follows only to discover each other again on the same beach and eventually learn about each other's neural experiments; only to commit again to give it another shot.
Isn't this what movies do best,the notion that true love comes back again and again - Forrest gump(its not a confidence-booster flick but the greatest love story ever told),Vicky Cristina barcelona(another maniacal tale of love-hate-love) etc...
So why would you erase your memories? Can you not start afresh without Shift + Delete?
Relationships are very complicated.You don't learn from them; they leave a trace , in your bone marrow too.
To learn and to replicate is a matter of choice, but to overdo and make a mess of it is simply suicidal.
Class A drugs often show these side effects and sometimes you also experience walking down the tunnel to discover something you had forgotten completely but this euphoria of temporary chemical induced madness, boy beware!!
Defragmentation of the brain's hard disk isn't gonna boost your artificial intelligence, coz imagine if it all comes back , how scared will you be? trust me, experiments often go wrong....

PS:
only the "west" knows me...to the others, Privet ! and well you might one day. Till then keep the flame alive, thanks for the invitation and i'll post as and when i can.

Eternal Sunset of the Lover's mind

I don't think you understand
I don't think you care
Are you intimate i doubt
So why did you share?

We were crazy
We fell when we should have risen
Dusty tides of golden sand
Blew me off my prison

To come to terms she is dead
To realize she is dead yeah
Maybe i should try
To find her in a lie...


She is dead and gone
She is dead and gone
She is dead and gone
I can't find her..........
