One of my favorite movies of all time is Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind. It's thought-provoking, completely absurd at times yet never unbelievable, heart breaking, and it features one of my favorite actresses of all time, Kate Winslet, in one of her best roles. Even Jim Carrey is amazing in it! Excuse the gushing, but this lovefest has a point. Recently, there has been news that Michel Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, will helm the new action hero film, The Green Hornet.
Really?
While Michel Gondry's directorial style doesn't immediately come to mind when considering your average superhero flick, his films are much more than visual style and often deep, complex evaluations on the human condition. I hope this tradition continues in The Green Hornet under Gondry's direction. It'd be a breathe of fresh air in a normally cliched superhero genre.
If you haven't seen Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, check out the trailer here (and go Netflix it!):
