Dec 16, 2016 Farhana rated it it was amazing Last week I was like skipping through books, trying this, trying
that but couldn't focus on any. The night I picked this up, I spent almost 4 hours in trying to read several. I thought I would read Fight Club, I opened that one too, read a few pages but the scenes were too dynamic to imagine & keep my mind on it at the same time. Then suddenly its name crossed my mind. Back then I didn't know if any writing on this movie even exists ! When I found it ,I thought it would be the story & the screen Last week
I was like skipping through books, trying this, trying that but couldn't focus on any. The night I picked this up, I spent almost 4 hours in trying to read several. I thought I would read Fight Club, I opened that one too, read a few pages but the scenes were too dynamic to imagine & keep my mind on it at the same time. Then suddenly its name crossed my mind. Back then I didn't know if any writing on this movie even exists ! When I found it ,I thought it would be the story & the
screenplay. Okay, I was wrong, it discussed the PHILOSOPHY of the movie. Then it hit me. I wonder if it was a 'vulnerable', 'needed' or 'useful' reading! ' "Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other."
Jul 18, 2018 Javier Sevilla rated it really liked it A collection of essays full of
philosophical an emotional content. If you liked the movie, this is a must read. Exploration of fascinating second opportunities and regret. I recommend it to fans of dystopian/ emotional novels.
Aug 20, 2013 Tays rated it liked it A very interesting and fruitful read. Its a collection of essays that says insights about how the movie Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind affects philosophy. Some were good and some were bad, nevertheless its still interesting enough to have me finish reading the whole thing.
Mar 09, 2012 Nikki rated it liked it A varied and interesting collection of essays. The film brings forth a lot of ideas about emotion and memory and they are explored in fascinating ways here. However, I felt that some of the essays only used the film as a spring-board to discuss outside ideas. I preferred the essays where the outside ideas were applied to analysis of the film itself.
I have this book for a long time, love it and rent kindle book to read online again Love the movie and read this book for a long time ago. Special rent kindle book to read online again.

happy is the blameless vestal's lot? News & InterviewsHere in the U.S., it’s time once again for National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs annually from September 15 through October 15. In... “Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise. Everyone knows that it is useless to try to separate lovers by proving to them that their marriage will be an unhappy one. This is not only because they will disbelieve you. They usually will, no doubt. But even if they believed, they would not be dissuaded. For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms. Even if the two lovers are mature and experienced people who know that broken hearts heal in the end and can clearly foresee that, if they once steeled themselves to go through the present agony of parting, they would almost certainly be happier ten years hence than marriage is at all likely to make them—even then, they would not part. To Eros all these calculations are irrelevant—just as the coolly brutal judgment of Lucretius is irrelevant to Venus. Even when it becomes clear beyond all evasion that marriage with the Beloved cannot lead to happiness—when it cannot even profess to offer any other life than that of tending an incurable invalid, of hopeless poverty, of exile, or of disgrace—Eros never hesitates to say, "Better this than parting. Better to be miserable with her than happy without her. Let our hearts break provided they break together." If the voice within us does not say this, it is not the voice of Eros.” — 5 likes “For surely there is a certain level of ignorance that is necessary at the start of a love affair.” — 4 likes More quotes…Welcome back.
