Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

How happy is the blameless Vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot,
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”

Ever wish you could just forget the last person who broke your heart? When I watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" I can’t deny that my head hurt too bad, for I kept thinking, this is what soul mates are all about. If there’s anything such as soul mates. And this is what I always hoped for, starting each day like there was no yesterday, to be born again each single day. I tried to forget a lot, and maybe thats the problem, while I tried to forget and detach... everybody else seemed to remember and connect.

I think the reason why most of us are unable to forget some precious things in life is because whatever we do we do according to a plan, we do because we have the nerve and the heart ... after throughly thinking, we prepare to it even the things we say, we take our time thinking or we simply memorize. Thats why we expect others to be DEAD serious about everything, and its also because we are...

"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" represents a failure of nerve. As we live life and move around doing things in bits and pieces, we learn that even the one person who wasn't supposed to let us down probably will. You'll have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when someone broke yours. You'll cry because time is passing too fast and you'll eventually lose someone close to you. So take many pictures, laugh too much and love like you've never been hurt because every minute you spend angry or upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back...

If you've ever had a dream in which you're painfully aware of having lost something, or someone,-- a dream in which an absence is a presence, a vaccum filled with that untouchable space around you -- you'll understand "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". You may also find it devastating. Jim Carrey plays Joel, a man who arranges to have every memory of his ex-girlfriend, Clementine (Kate Winslet), erased from his brain, only to realize that those memories may be more dear to him than the failed union itself: because they're all he's got left.

When Joel decides that the memories of his relationship with Clementine are worth keeping, the two of them embark on a game of hide-and-seek through his subconscious— “I’m just a fucked-up girl looking for her own peace of mind” Clementine tells Joel, and this is so true for me as well. But, peace-of-mind is something neither love nor medicine can promise—at least not without serious side effects.

It traces memories of starting from the most painful of the breakup and working forward to the sweetest ones. It is a realisation that in allowing memories to disappear, its all about erasing onself.
