I'm always anxious thinking I'm not living my life to the fullest, y'know? Taking advantage of every possibility? Just making sure that I'm not wasting one second of the little time I have.
Kate: What did you think of the movie?
Cathy: It was very thought provoking. I had to really concentrate as to what was a dream and what was reality. I quite liked it. It reminded a bit of the Truman Show, which also stars Jim Carrey. It was between reality and dreaming and sometimes you feel a dream is real, and you go back and things that seem to have nothing to do with anything suddenly pop up in your dream. What did you think?
Kate: I honestly found it very strange; I had a hard time understanding the movie, and the plot through out it. I also found that it was still very creative at the same time. The way the camera angles were used to show that she was disappearing from his memories.
Cathy: I liked that too, and also liked how some of the images were blurry indicating that thy were in the dream but were not important. It was funny that he knew enough to want to stop erasing her even in the dream.
Kate: It was really interesting to think that someone would want to erase someone from their memory, it makes me think how far I would want to go to erase someone from my thought. Is it something that you would want to do?
Cathy: Never, I think that is what forms who I am. It is all life's experiences that moulds a person. I think he wanted to erase her because she had erased him. Would you do it?
Kate: I'm not sure it is something that I would need to think about deeply because depending on the person I created these memories with i might want to erase them because of the pain that they caused me in my past and maybe in the future.
Cathy: But that is how you can earn to be a better person in relationships, we have to learn from our mistakes.
Kate: What did you think of the characters?
Cathy: I really liked the fact that Mary (Kristen Dunst) was also a patient. That was a neat sub plot. I also liked that Patrick (Elijah Wood) stole some of Joel's (Jim Carrey) way of courting Clem (Kate Winslet). What did you think?
Kate: Well, I must say that I really enjoyed Joel, because it was a character that I could see a lot of people being able to relate to. Well it was great chatting with you!

Art Word of the Week: Mass or Volume
Mass or Volume are appropriate criteria from critiquing three-dimensional art which has height, length, and width (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009, p. 142). Mass or Volume can be portrayed as: Open or closed, heavy or light, solid or open, opaque or transparent, geometric or organic, static or dynamic, angular or curved, hard or soft, large or little, stationary or moving (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009, p. 142). The one that I found through the course of the movie was stationary or moving because when Joel was remembering all the memories between Clem and him, the objects that were in the memory started to move away from him.
For Educators:
Who doesn't love watching movies, this is a great way to introduce films that the children may not watch because it doesn't look appealing to them. However it can allow the children to step outside of their comfort zone. As an educator you can make it a fun day for the children by saying that they can come to school in the pj's and have some popcorn and watch the movie. After the movie is over you can ask the children to draw something they saw in the move that stood out to them.
