This beautiful love story directed by Michel Gondry could build emotion into those who don’t even have the stability to be emotional.
This unique love story makes one want a relationship for all the right and wrong reasons. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is the opposite of a typical romantic film since it shows what is missed in a relationship once it’s gone.
Clementine, played by Kate WInslet, decided to erase her memory of Joel, played by Jim Carrey after an argument during their 8 year relationship. Joel, after finding out that Clementine had removed him from her life, decided it was time for him to remove her from his memory too.
During the long process of erasing, Joel revisits his memories with Clementine, the good and the bad. He slowly sees what life without her is like as he sees her disappear slowly from his previous memories.
Joel soon realises that he has made a mistake in erasing her however he cannot stop the process. Joel tries to hold onto Clementine as he is revisiting his memories, however she still disappeared. He then tries to hide her in other memories. This also fails.
This heartbreaking moment as you see a lovely relationship break into nothing and fall apart.
After the long process is over Joel has no recollection of Clementine as everything had been removed. Joel and Clementine eventually re-meet and start dating unaware that they were once in love until a college at the memory erasing centre contacted everyone informing them of their situation.
This tragic love story turns into a truly inspirational hope for a life that consist of love and not loneliness.
