Film studies.

In the lessons which aren't about theory, we are watching films which are greatly linked to postmodernism. The first film we have completely watched is the Micheal Gondry directed drama/romance/sci-fi film 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. After watching we did a sheet to over-look the film and to look deeper into the plot and circumstances. Here it is:

This sheet writes good factors to why this film is considered postmodern. It is a very original and intricate plot with unexpected characters and visual happenings. On http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/eternal_sunshine_of_the_spotless_mind/ 93% of voters liked the film, showing that postmodernism films can have a wide audience.

In conclusion, i thought the film was cleverly done, however, I'm not too into film which are surreal and jump from place to place. With this film, you have to not look at each scene separately, but almost all of the film at a whole to understand the concept and happenings. The characters are interesting, humorous and dramatically different, but making this part of the films charm. There is a strong message, but is made for the viewer to find that out. It is an intellectual and in depth film made for an audience who dont like order and thrive on weird circumstances.
