"'How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned"
Would you erase the memory of a past relationship if you had your heart's broken? Based on an absurd premise but grounded in real emotion, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is about a man who wishes to erase his ex-girlfriend from his memory after he finds out she erased him first. Life isn't always that easy, as Joel discovers: as he's erasing Clementine from his memory, he's also also erasing some of the best part of his life. Joel starts to fight the memory erasing in a desperate effort to protect what he has discovered he loves most about life ... Clementine. A beautifully structured film, which has the story going both backwards and forwards, that always reminds us how precious our memories truly are.
Jim Carry breaks of his traditional role, and goes ultra-unfunny. And he does this brilliantly. Winslet and Carrey's career best performances make the character magnetic and you pray that they get together at the film's end. Not only is this the one of the best romantics but it's also one of the best films of the decade. Laughs, heartache, suspense follow in this smart, warm unique rom-com. If you take a moment and really open your mind, the brilliance of this film will definitely shine through.
