Let's hide in the memory and pay homage to those who run away

Humans are strange animals. When you love so much, you want to hate, and you start to forget.

The film begins the day joel (Jim Kerry) opens his eyes. I like his cotton coat, winter clothes, hat, and running on the platform. White and clean.
I have never seen jim kerry act in a drama, but this is the first time that I will always remember. I like his melancholy eyes, dull look, and quiet narration. Some detached but very real performances. Kate Winslet, like her eyes, unruly, rebellious, tangled, self-contradictory child.
Maybe this is love, destined to make two different people fall in love.
Then forget, and finally remember.
In reality, it seems that there is no such clinic that can provide such services. If there is, will it be crowded?

I don't know if I like this movie because of her unique story, the two actors, forgetting the subject itself, or those thoughts that escape from memory.
When the objects, people and things around you slowly begin to fade and disappear, I don't know what it will be like. When the person I love pulls me away from the memories I once had, I don't know whether to be happy or regretful. Wiping down my bike in the rain, being bullied as a child, returning to my 4-year-old self...is it a joy to experience this with the people you love?

"Maybe I should have known you then." The

movie keeps talking about memories, but what I like is the moments that escape them. That rainy day, that red cloak, that set of pajamas and black skirt, then he pulled her and ran away willingly. Escape from memories that are erasing.

People are always weird, want to remember, and then want to forget. This is a movie that needs to be seen twice, at least I think it is. There are a lot of clips you can't notice for the first time.

If you believe in fate, then everything goes back to him, but if you don't believe it, everything goes back to you. I don't know if one should really believe in fate, but maybe it is. Destined people always meet and fall in love, no matter how many times they may have cleared their memories.
At least I believe.

sunshine is eternal. Never thought of that, maybe just some so-called take-for-granted. To people, to things, to things.

When I wake up the next morning, maybe I don't remember anything, just because I will meet you again today, and then forget it together in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, and finally disappear. Maybe it will be a reincarnation after that, but we don't know...

love... nobody understands...

(It's not well written, but it's true, please advise ^^)

    Forgive me for not being clear when I watched this movie many years ago, but now I turned it out and relived it in tears. I wish I knew you when I was a kid. I remember the way you look at me is just fine. We can't cross so many gaps, and we can't avoid so many collapses. It's good for you to live and be happy. You have loved me. I have loved you.

    What a realistic love story. The joy and unhappiness in love, love, hate, no regrets, care, want to forget, don't want to forget, want to separate, want to start again... The genius screenwriter Charlie Kaufman played with people's memory and subconscious again, and got into into the mind of the Other and try to erase it. I'm not an improviser, but God knows why I'm going to Montauk, (re)encountering her, love and boredom again, inseparable.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind quotes

  • Howard: ...Our files are confidential Mr. Barish so we can't show you any evidence. Suffice it to say, Miss Kruczynski was not happy and she wanted to move on. We provide that possibility.

  • Joel: [in the house on the beach] I have to go. I have to catch my ride.

    Clementine: So go!

    Joel: I did. I thought maybe you were a nut... but you were exciting.

    Clementine: I wish you had stayed.

    Joel: I wish I had stayed too. NOW I wish I had stayed. I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish I had... I wish I had stayed. I do.

    Clementine: Well I came back downstairs and you were gone!

    Joel: I walked out, I walked out the door!

    Clementine: Why?

    Joel: I don't know. I felt like a scared little kid, I was like... it was above my head, I don't know.

    Clementine: You were scared?

    Joel: Yeah. I thought you knew that about me. I ran back to the bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation, I think.

    Clementine: Was it something I said?

    Joel: Yeah... you said "so go." With such disdain, you know?

    Clementine: Oh, I'm sorry.

    Joel: It's okay.

    [Walking Out]

    Clementine: Joely? What if you stayed this time?

    Joel: I walked out the door. There's no memory left.

    Clementine: Come back and make up a good-bye at least. Let's pretend we had one.

    [Joel comes back. Clementine walks down the stairs towards him]

    Clementine: Bye Joel.

    Joel: I love you.

    Clementine: Meet me... in Montauk...
