Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind


Do not really know if this is considered an artsy film..but it is certainly the first film that I see Jim Carey taking on a serious character..


It tells about how Joel(Carey) wanted to erase Clementine(Kate Winslet) from his memory when he found out that Clementine had undergone this medical treatment that deleted him from her life eternally..slightly difficult to understand with the bits and pieces of flashbacks every now and then but things pieced up nicely towards the end..In fact it was sweet to see that these two beings meet again and fall in love with each other..On top of that, there was a twist to the story..the tapes on why they wanted each other out of their mind (recorded at the clinic) were returned to them and they had by coincidence, overheard the negative comments they had for each other (like this part..the horror and shock you will see on their faces..exciting). It was difficult to accept but they gave themselves a chance..
*they embraced*


The two of them are worlds apart - Joel being a boring and educated man while Clementine is a wild, thrill-seeking and less learned woman..a seemingly incompatible and unimaginable match..a pair that we more often than not, see only in televisions and books..however, in the film, their second romance might work out for they have mutually accepted their ugly sides and are prepared to strive to overcome these tripping stones that stand in front of them ...
*****


Memories may be painful but they deserve a place..For one, we need comparisons..Had we not tasted the bitter, how do we tell the sweet apart..Besides, the harder we fall, the better we learn I guess..A child learns how to stand up after the umpteen aches from the landings on his little buttcheeks..Same concept applies..As little as I would like to be reminded of the extra year I had to do in secondary school, it was an excruciating but extremely invaluable part of my life. While memory fades, the prick is ever-present..Nonetheless, it has spurred me to move on and get a better life..Doing things that I would not regret when I look back at my life in the years to come. "Make the best choice at that point in time.." as my dad says..
I reckon that technology shall not be an easy way out then..


Quotes and dialogues from the film that I like..


Mary: Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.


[A scene in Joel's subconcious mind as his memory was slowly being deleted]
Clementine: This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.
Joel: I know.
Clementine: What do we do?
Joel: Enjoy it.


Clementine: Joely? What if you stay this time?
Joel: I walked out the door. There's no memory left.
Clementine: Come back and make up a goodbye at least, let's pretend we had one... Goodbye, Joel.
Joel: ...I love you...
Clementine: ...Meet me in Montauk...
