In fact, just looking at the title of the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is beautiful and meaningful. This sentence comes from the pen of the British poet Alexander Pope: 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 There is eternal sunshine on the forgotten pure heart. Accept every prayer and give up every wish.) I read a little feeling I wrote for the third time:
How can memory be deleted? How can you be forgotten? It's not worth the sadness and no need to worry. The Wangqing Clinic in the movie "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind" provides this service. Just a few sessions of treatment can wipe out all that you don't want to keep. Erase every part of the road we traveled together, every place we have been to, the things we have eaten, the music we have heard, the movies we have watched, the childhood stories we have told, the lakeside we have walked at night, the stars we have counted. , the tree I looked for in the rain, and the figure hugged tightly in the wind. Memories are like film footage, re-edited and spliced, those heart-wrenching, unbearable pains, those sleepless nights soaked in tears, those entanglements that repeatedly tortured my mind, will all be written off. We can easily love, give up, and forget peacefully. Sleep and wake up, it is a new heaven and a new earth.
However, here comes the problem. Those sweet moments and happy moments in love will also be checked out along with the pain without leaving a trace. Then the rest of the part, how much ornamental will there be, and whether it will be boring or not, I don't even care about it. Without pain, is our life still real? In the film, when the hero Joel's memory is about to be erased, he chooses to escape, to keep his memory forever in the cabin deep in his heart, even if it is a huge pain.
The two paragraphs before and after the film seem to be a joke to everyone. Joel, who had deleted his memory, went to the seaside of Montauk with the only remaining impression, and met a girl named Clétine. Memories forget each other's lovers. The female assistant in the clinic who had a crush on the professor tried her best to maintain the ambiguity with her dignity and calmness, but was revealed by the professor's wife. It turned out that she had already obtained and experienced it, and later deleted her memory. This arrogant love, the implicit girl's mind, revealed the truth, it turned out to be just another mistake. What a wonderful irony and illustration. Yes, even if we delete our memories, as long as we don't delete our tastes and change our hobbies, we will still fall in love with the same type of person, or even the same person. Pain, forget, then meet again, love again. Repeatedly, endlessly. Maybe love is the flaming mountain that we can't learn, understand, stumble over and over again, and never get through. As long as we are still ourselves, what's the point of deleting a memory, deleting information about a person? The only thing that might work is something that cannot be easily removed, life. As long as life goes on, the people and feelings that are destined in it must be stored and must be faced, be it humiliation or heartbreak.
At the end of the film, the heartbroken female assistant sends confidential information back to each client. When Joel and Klei Ting heard the ugly and accusing shortcomings of each other that they had exposed each other, they finally found that they couldn't give up. Those who understand each other, the weakness under the beautiful appearance, the flaws under the glorious image, and still choose to stay and love each other, they are the most worthy of envy and blessing, that is the only thing we can hold on to in the suffering world. : Eternal sunshine on a beautiful mind.
Change your heart , Look around you
Change your heart , it will astound you
I need your lovin', Like the sunshine
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
