Shocked, Carrey does the same but once the process begins and we see their relationship in reverse as its gradually erased, he begins to fight it, to keep the memories of his love, no matter how painful they were. The story surrounds Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, a couple who break up and independently use medical technology to wipe their memories of each other to allow them to leave in relative calm. Winslet has her memory blanked after a vicious argument with Carrey, leaving him unrecognisable to her. Last night, I watched Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. The real crass answer is maybe they aren’t so media beautiful for the cameras or don’t have the catch phrases for the 2 minute interviews.

Having a story just wash over you seems ludicrous. The idea of spending two hours of my life watching a film because it kills some time is totally alien to me. We tend to lap up the easy options, have been told that movies cover all bases relaxing, educating, provocative and uplifting. My general complaint about the devotion and attention given to movies is simply because they are the books for the modern soundbite, low attention-span populace.

Of course the media is an insider in the game, pumping out hyperbolic propaganda, waiting for a star to fall so they can be degraded and condemned, only to be resurrected with a Vogue photo shoot.
