Eternal Sunshine

Eternal sunshine is by far my favorite movie so far this semester. It was a little confusing at first but you start to get the hang of whats going on in the movie as it progresses. Most of the movie is a flash back after the first scene on the train, they go back and explain that Joel once dated Clementine and that in her impulsiveness Clem had her memory erased of Joel. In his anger at what she had done he erased his memory of her. While he is getting his memory erased they show all of his memories and all the past the two of them had together and he realizes that he doesn't actually want to loose her memory. He tries to hide Clementine in other memories to save some part of his life with her but they end up finding her and erasing her. In the end they all end up meeting each other again and even with their memory erased they still end up finding each other and end up together. The movie was good at showing that sometimes no mater how hard a memory is to bare that if you didn't have it you might feel incomplete. It shows that we need the bad to have the good and sometimes we don't need to completely forget the past to start over we just need to get over the bad things. If we forget all the past we forget the good to. This movie really makes you think about yourself and life and I think that adds to the romance of it.
