• 00:20:00 "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is a bittersweet romantic drama with surrealism experts Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry. When Joel and Clementine break up, they both decide to undergo a procedure to have their memories of each other erased. The majority of the film takes place in Joel's mind, as he recalls his doomed relationship with Clementine. After going through the procedure, he retains one vague recollection of Clementine telling him to meet her in Montauk, where they first met. Despite the procedure's success, both lovers find each other again in Montauk and start again, even after learning the truth of their chaotic and painful relationship. This might seem to defeat the point of the sci-fi elements or even the story as a whole, but it speaks to the movie's central theme of love. These two have a special connection, and nothing can get in the way of that. It's a hopeful ending, although seeing the way Clementine and Joel's relationship plays out makes one wonder if they're doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
