You may access all of the posts and comments per each script we analyze here.

Next on our list is Week 11 [November 14-November 18]: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind [2003–02–04] — Charlie Kaufman

I’m a big fan of Charlie Kaufman and love this movie. Moreover I’ve never read the script, so I’m excited to have this opportunity. I hope you are, too. This is the kind of screenplay that invites analysis with all sorts of different possible takes.

Our last November entry:

Week 12 [November 28-December 2]: Panic Room [2000–02–23] — Action Thriller

NOTE: THIS SERIES AND THE USE OF SCRIPTS IS STRICTLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES!

Next week I will open up discussion for the final scripts in this series for 2011: December 5–9, 12–16. What genres? What movie scripts?

But for now, read Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind this weekend and join in the conversation next week.
