The Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind is a painful realization that those we love also have the ability to completely destroy our hope and trust, and that we must decide if they are worth another chance. Are they just human beings who are navigating life without directions, making mistakes along the way, and do they truly love and want to be the best they can be for us, or are we better off going it alone and trying again with someone else? Often relationships seem set in another world, where no one else appears, like dreams. I thought this film captured that quality of surrealism very well, and I always loved the qoute which is the title of the movie, as it comes from the famous letters of the star crossed, tragic lovers Heloise and Abelard in the 12th century...written by Alexander Pope, it is a heartbreaking drama of love lost but never forgotten, no matter what forces separate real love, it overcomes in some form.
