The NZA Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Noticing we'd lost the original thread on this movie, i simply wanted to have a place to discuss this, the latest of Kaufman's writings, the only thing ive seen by Michel Gondry (despite LL's affection for this director), and Carey's finest performance this side of Man on the Moon (though Truman Show was good, too). Saw this one twice, strong performances overall, and very, very human moments - for me, there were some powerful ones... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « like, when Carey's memories are leaving him, he crawls through his bedsheets like a child, and begs "please, let me keep this one...". Kate Winslet takes the quirky/neurotic girl to a whole new level, too. I oughta pick this one up on DVD sometime. Though both Malkovich and Adaptation were great, this is the most approachable, and in my opinion, his finest work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristyandJake Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yeah I like it better than Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, not by much, but by a little. It was sad and heartbreaking, plus a really interesting idea that had never been done before (like all his movies) great acting, great storyline, overall greatness.

Reverend Jax Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 After watching Adaptation, I thought Kaufman would never produce anything as wholely superb as Malchovich, but Sunshine squeaks ahead. I can't wait for the next Kaufman film hich is supposed to be his take on the Horror genre the same way Sunshine was his take on the Romantic Comedy genre, directed by Spike Jonze (director of Malchovich, Adaptation, and some of the best music videos of the the 90's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
