Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

Michel Gondry is a genious. You realize that after watching any of his movies. For me it was Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Now I really have to see more of his work. I highly recommend it, but I cannot be a judge of whether its one of his best movies since I haven't seen much of his work.

The Third Man

I recently saw the black and white movie 'The Third Man' by Carol Reed and its a wonderful movie. A quote from the movie really caught me. Harry Lime on being confronted by his friend Holly Martins on being a criminal says "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgais they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed, but they still produced Michelangelo, Leonardo DaVinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock". I would like to compare this to what Gareth Pugh said - "Crisis breeds creativity." This movie won the Grand Prize of The Festival (now Palme d'Or) at the Cannes Film Festival 1949.
