Everyone has their own feelings and interpretations of the movie in their hearts. For me, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tells a story about forgetting. One is transplanted into another's memory, and bluntly erased from memory. The story goes like this, one day in 2002, the hero Joey met the heroine Clay at a party in Montauk Beach, New York. Soon, the two met again in a bookstore and started dating. Beginning in the second half of 2003, the relationship between the two turned from sweet to sour. One day in early 2004, after they had a big fight, Clay went to a company called Lacuna and asked them to wipe Joey from his memory. When Joey stood in front of Clay, who had no memory of each other's love, she was kissing someone and asked Joey what help he needed, the embarrassment, helplessness, anger on Joey's face, and the ridiculous complexity to himself The expression moved me for a long time. Later, out of revenge, unfairness and other strong inner fluctuations, Qiao Yi also found Lacuna and asked to delete the love memory as well. The deletion work in the evening is starting, Qiao Yi wanders between dreams and reality, his first meeting with her, his first conversation with her, and her breaking into his room with a toothbrush and sleeping on his bed, Wearing orange clothes and saying that he is a big orange, these memories slowly give warmth, the things they did together, the words they said, and the places they went, all revolved in Qiaoyi's mind, and he decided to keep Klay , keep the love. The machine is still running at last, and the memory is finally deleted, becoming an empty piece.
At this time, when the film returned to the title, Qiao Yi had an old face, and Clay blinked with cold blue hair. She said to him, can I go to your house? He said yes, she said I'd go get a toothbrush. Love finally met in another way, began, continued. Those beautiful, regrettable, and impulsive memories that were deleted finally came to the same destination in such a way, and the warmth contained light. This light is the eternal sunshine. Love should not be forcibly deleted. Even if it is deleted, the people who should be together will still meet and start to meet again. Do similar things, go to places you have been to a long time ago, As I said earlier, for the film, this memory-deleting game is a great satire of reality. The most serious film ever made by Michel Gondry.
The title of the film "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind" refers to the story of Alexander Pope's Eloisa to Abelard, which is roughly a twelfth-century French theologian Abelard and his student who fell in love but couldn't stay together. This has also become an interesting part of the movie. When the doctors Horward and Mary of Lacuna Company clearly remembered in Qiaoyi, the subtle feeling emitted by the screenwriter is exactly the love story that the screenwriter is writing. When Mary said, "Only by getting rid of memory and no longer caring, can this classy mind be redeemed", when Mary said "I have been interested in you for a long time", when Mary suddenly kissed Horward, the embarrassment on Dr. Horward's face appeared And the pain really made me sad. It turns out that Mary also deleted the love memory. That love happened between a young girl and a father who could become her own. The love that cannot be tolerated in reality, although the film does not explain too much. Clues, but it can be seen that Mary decided to delete her memory so that Horward's statement would not be damaged. These fragments all coincide with the plot of Eloisa to Abelard. The past and the present, although the world has long been different, still can't resist morality. condemnation and inner frenzy.
The world is like this, no matter how prosperous technology is, even if you choose your own birth, choose your memory, and choose your future, you still can't change the original trajectory of nature. Qiaoyi and Klay still met, and Mary still said " I've been interested in you for a long time", etc. These feelings do not become memories with deletion, so they become an eternal sunshine that shines on another person wherever it goes.
Therefore, when I saw Qiao Yi and Klay smiling at each other in the corridor, I was very emotional. The faces of the two classes, depression, loneliness, loneliness, and the unpleasant words that each other had said to each other still echoed in the protagonist. They passed slowly from behind. The only light in that dream finally illuminated the entire long corridor, up to her whole body.
