Roger Ebert must have Charlie on the brain, because aside from naming Synecdoche, New York the best film of the decade, his latest "Great Movie" entry is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Visiting an old people's home, I walked down a corridor on the floor given over to advanced Alzheimer's parents. Some seemed anxious. Some were angry. Some simply sat there. Knowing nothing of what was happening in their minds, I wondered if the anxious and angry ones had some notion of who they were and that something was wrong. I was reminded of the passive ones while watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Wiped free of memory, they exist always in the moment, which they accept because it is everything. (Source)

Thanks, Laurel!
