Product Description
From acclaimed writer Charlie Kaufman and visionary director Michel Gondry comes Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. An all-star ensemble cast shines in this comical and poignant look at breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs. Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet), has had their tumultuous relationship erased from her mind. Out of desperation, he contacts the inventor of the process, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), to get the same treatment. But as his memories of Clementine begin to fade, Joel suddenly realizes how much he still loves her. Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood co-star in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - a memorable film that The Wall Street Journal calls "a romantic comedy unlike any other!"

In one of the earlier scenes, we see two people sitting in the lobby/ waiting room of the office, one has a box of trophies, the other of dog toys- we immediately know that a father is trying to forget his child, and a lady is trying to forget a pet that has passed away. Whenever I think about this movie, that scene specifically always comes to mind. I think that's because we can truly see how grief or anger can manipulate the mind and decision making. You can be in so much pain and just want to forget it all, but in the end, these hardships make us who we are and define us as people. Getting rid of these memories only hurts us more, and we can see Joel realize that when it's too late. This movie really drives the point home that it's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all. It’s beautiful too, to know that they found their ways back to each other in the end. I think it goes to show that true love always prevails in the end and everything happens for a reason. The characters are so complex, yet so easy to comprehend. I relate to both of them in different ways. I hated Clementine so much for how awful she was to Joel at moments, but then at different times like the library scene, I related to every word she said. That is a difficult thing to be able to create, and somehow the writers and directors managed to do it so well.
At the start, I thought that I wouldn’t mind forgetting a few people, as I’m sure everyone else felt, but by the end I was in complete tears just thinking about the possibility of not being able to remember someone. I was crying before the title of the movie even came on the screen, I had to stop halfway through because I was crying too hard. Something about this movie just gets you in your most vulnerable places. I cannot recommend this one enough. It’s one of those films that you have to watch multiple times to fully grasp because there's just so much detail. Gorgeous, beautiful, amazing.

Thanks for reading!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 2004 American comedy-drama film written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry. It follows an estranged couple who have erased each other from their memories. The ensemble cast includes Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, and Tom Wilkinson.
Using a non-linear means of narration to examine the nature of memories and love, the genius of Charlie Kaufman prevents ‘Eternal Sunshine…’ from being too difficult to follow. Context clues provided abound (and, not to mention funny enough, the color of Clementine's hair) assist in making viewers aware of what transitional period of the relationship between Clementine and Joel is currently taking center stage. In the grand scheme of things this technique becomes a self-referential reminder of the ways memories or the mere fragments of them can forcibly leak and insert themselves into our present-day experiences to their detriment. Most impressively: ‘Eternal Sunshine…’ manages to sneak surprises of their own for audience members despite starting from what could assumed as a conclusive point and working its way back to a beginning.
Acting outside of their typical architects in Hollywood - Clementine and Joel are a force to be reckoned with. Joelle - helplessly jaded by the monotone tune of his existence - is brought to life by virtue of a beautifully nuanced and tame performance. Winslet embraces the free-spirited and eccentricity that encapsulates Clementine without indulging to a point of exhaustion. If I asked for one thing (and one thing only), I would have liked the implied complexity of their personalities and the emotions they conjure more smoothly and organically intertwined with one another. Because this is missing at times it is hard to offer empathy to characters so seemingly at odds with one another.
It's fun, however, to imagine what people like Joel and Clementine bring to a table that becomes stained with disaffection. If you close your eyes you can imagine someone like them in your parameter: their influences defined by a desire for isolation and a yearning for meaningful connections in equal (but always changing) amounts. In recognizing their own faults over time it's easy to understand how their company can lead to eventually letting down their own guard. In Joel I see structure in the sense of stability. in Clementine I see hints of acceptance so rarely executed in stride. I see two beings so strongly constrained by their own anxieties and flaws
Most importantly: I see two people so deserving of happiness and love.
The ending requires some amount of subplots to justify its means, but I am sorry to say that some of the exposition and points of contention feel largely undeveloped. Why is the audience made to witness Patrick's awkward attempts to appease Clementine and earn her affections? Why include platonically intimate interactions taking place between the individuals responsible for wiping Joel's memory away? If given a few days I'm sure I could find a reason these relationships are given the time they are allowed, but only one is truly needed to steer ‘Eternal Sunshine…’ towards its conclusion.
(Sidenote - I think I'm starting to connect the dots here in that these relationships help to reinforce the idea of Clementine “not being” a concept and incapable of making someone else whole by simply existing. Let’s chat about it in the comments if you have your own thoughts.)
Outside of commentary that suggests the erasing of memories isn't the key to happiness, Eternal Sunshine…’ encourages thoughts and introspections with greater real world applications. As Joel's recollections of Clementine fall apart I find myself wondering - do Joel and Clementine even want to be memorable people? Is it possible that overtime the possibility of being forgotten can mean just as much as the desire to be remembered? I look inside of myself to deduce some amount of merit in this regard, but the prevarication injected and witnessed as a coping mechanism of sorts makes me feel justified in doing so.
The Merry-Go-Round of memory is capable of taking a variety of structures built to evoke the feelings most often associated with them.
At times a haunted carnival: Uncomfortable. Terrifying. Without mercy or remorse.
During others a house of mirrors: Confusing. Provocative. Endlessly questionable and ambiguous.
Most often though: It's both of these things and neither of them at the same time.
I simply thank ‘Eternal Sunshine…’ for this much needed reminder.
I would recommend.

We're all different thank goodness. Others have found this film enjoyable. For both of us though we found it boring and to be frankly upfront we surprised ourselves that we sat all the way through it.
It's probably an age thing. We are in our sixties. But that said we've both enjoyed all sorts of films recent and old. Only our opinion, but don't spend a lot of money on it.
