Jag är så otroligt förförd av Charlie Kaufman som regissör och manusförfattare, han är fullkomligt briljant! Jag blir alldeles hänförd när jag ser verk av såna begåvade människor. Eternal sunshine on the spotless mind är en av mina favoritfilmer och jag vet att jag tjatat om Synecdohe, New York förut, men den är mer magisk ju mer man ser. Slutscenen kan jag se om och om igen, den berör mig lika mycket varje gång...

What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyones experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone is everyone. So you are Adele, Hazel, Claire, Olive. You are Ellen. All her meager sadnesses are yours; all her loneliness; the gray, straw-like hair; her red raw hands. Its yours. It is time for you to understand this.

Walk.
As the people who adore you stop adoring you; as they die; as they move on; as you shed them; as you shed your beauty; your youth; as the world forgets you; as you recognize your transience; as you begin to lose your characteristics one by one; as you learn there is no-one watching you, and there never was, you think only about driving - not coming from any place; not arriving any place. Just driving, counting off time. Now you are here, it's 7:43. Now you are here, it's 7:44. Now you are...

Gone.

Apologize.

Ask her if you can put your head on her shoulder.




Die.
