2004 Movie
Dir. Michel Gondry · United States of America · English
A stylish and whimsical yet delicate look at breakups in particular and relationships in general. It stars Jim Carrey as Joel Barish and Kate Winslet as Clementine Kruczynski. Instead of going to work one morning, Joel takes an unlikely route and that’s when he meets Clementine, together they realize they share a special connection without really knowing how that connection came to be. A tale of memory and regret, love and loss, it’s such a beautiful movie and a beautiful journey. You can’t miss it. If you’ve watched it when it came out you should watch it again – you’ll see the film differently. And if you haven’t watched yet, well, I envy you.
Joel Barish, heartbroken that his girlfriend underwent a procedure to erase him from her memory, decides to do the same. However, as he watches his memories of her fade away, he realises that he still loves her, and may be too late to correct his mistake.
"It's the kind of film that could mean more to people after they've left the theater and thought about it awhile."
— Peter Rainer
"It is a film that demands the presence of thoughts we put aside when surrounded by people, things we only think about when we're alone, buried in everlasting thoughts. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is the rarest of all films..."
— Wael Khairy

A spectacular performance by Jim Carry and Kate Winslet. Loved the non linear flow of the movie. It reflects no matter what we do the love for each other cannot be erased. The world makes sure that what is meant to happen will happen.
An amazing movie.. do watch!
