If you ever had the option to erase some portions of your memory, what would you do? Will you try to erase some of them? In the hope of forgetting someone? Maybe your loved ones? Maybe one of them? Maybe will you try to forget your EX? (Spoiler. Sorry). Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind has all the answers in it. No no its not a campaign or tv commercial. Its a wonderful movie about love with a sci-fie twist.

“Why do I fall in love with every women I see that shows me the least bit of attention?
Joel Barish writes in his diary after seeing a girl with dyed blue hair putting alcohol in her coffee. He was sitting in a cafe near a train station waiting for a train to go to Montauk. A place he felt an urgent need to go but didn't know why. While waiting for the train he sees the same girl . He nervously turns his face the other way trying to avoid her. But that girl, Clementine is a persistent one. While on the train he sees her again. This time sitting few sits forward facing towards him. And this time he couldn't avoid her
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind Directed by Michel Gondry and Screen play written by Charlie Kaufman ( Writer - Anomalisa) Is a Romantic Sci-Fie . If you know Charlie Kaufman you know his writings are not clichéd and mainstream. They are rather unique with details that are not found in your every day movies.

Joel Barish played by Jim Carry ( The Mask, Ace Ventura) is a shy and calm character which Jim exactly is the opposite. And Clementine portrayed by Kate Winslate is a rather Funky “walking with the wind” type character.
With Jim Carey you can never ask for a performance rather than his cheesy oily “Dumb and Dumber” comedy that he always plays. But he played Joel like a natural proving a point that he can act. Though most of the credit goes to Michel Gondry for his ability to make Jim give an Oscar worthy performance. Now to come to the star of this movie Kaufman wrote a story rather euphoric in its simplicity. If you ask why the dialogues used in this movie are so silly, childish and simple the answer would be to create emotions in you mind but you will not know the reason why..
Source:pinterest.com Christopher Orr of “The Atlantic” said that this movie was quite “forgettable”. It was like an experiment with the viewers in an attempt to recreate memory loss which was the sci-fie part in the movie and ended not with a bang but with nothing. When the movie ends you will feel nothing but will be left satisfied like grandmas cookies.
