Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind is a brilliant film, simply because it’s a reflection of the things in life that no one would want to pick out and talk about.Sure, the concept of erasing a certain part of your memory in an erasing clinic can be rather unbelievable. But really, isn’t it something we eventually learn to want? The film begins with Joel, played by Jim Carrey, your sweet and sensitive, low profile kind of guy. He wakes up in the morning, as though from the weirdest dream ever, and decides to take a train to Montauk simply because he felt like it. He sees Clementine (Kate Winslet) on the cold rainy beach in Montauk and again at a diner. She smiles at him and Joel quickly looks back down at his journal, asking himself, “Why do I fall in love with every woman I see who shows me the least bit of attention?”This film showcases the miserable parts of our love lives. But it points out the wonderful parts too. Joel is the side of us when we’re madly in love with who we think is the love of our lives. Clementine is our temperamental, restless, reckless side when we’re just so fed up with things. This, if i may point out, is a perfectly logical explanation to the ever-changing color of her hair.Where do we want to find love? Anywhere. At a party, in our workplace and even on a cold, rainy beach. But once we think we’ve found it, things happen. Arguments that start over the silliest things. We get tired of the same old antics of our significant one. Can we really expect to have eternal sunshine? Then, we want to pain to stop, to be erased, so that it seems only the good memories last forever. Ergo, the title, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Joel signs up to what he thinks is the elimination of his painful memories of Clementine, but then he realizes that it was even more painful for him to watch them get taken away from him. He finds that just under all that pain, were the happiest moments of his life.Another plus to this film is the beautiful soundtrack. It compliments the mood of the film. The comical and the gloomy parts. In the song that Joel was listening to while he was crying in his car, I managed to catch a line of the song, which went, “Everybody’s got to run sometime.” And I thought that, whether intentional or not, was very coherent to the film because Joel was literally running away while trying to grab hold (figuratively speaking) onto whatever was left of his memories of Clementine. And that they had to run as far as they could so they wouldn’t be found and erased.I loved the part of the film where Joel and Clementine, in their memory, broke into the house by the beach again and the house slowly started to fall apart and Joel was telling Clementine about how he wished he had stayed. And following the path of his memory, Joel walked right out of the house just like he did when they were there the first time but then he went back in to make a proper goodbye. Thus, Joel’s sudden and unexplained trip to Montauk in the start of the film is clarified when Clementine whispers “Meet me in Montauk” just before the last moment was erased. If you haven’t caught Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind, please do. I will end my review with a very memorable part of the film to me when Joel was down to his last memory to be erased.Clementine: “This is it Joel, it’s gonna be gone soon.”Joel: “I know.”Clementine: “What do we do?”Joel: “Enjoy it.”
