In the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind it starts when Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) met at a party at the beach. They talked to each other because they are bored and don’t like the party. Clement was a girl who doesn’t like to be sweet to people. She was a happy go lucky girl while Joel was the serious guy met a crazy girl. After that they had a good relationship. They shared happy moments, shared good times and bad times. It’s like they are not marriage but they live in the same house for short it’s called Live-In. Sometimes they argued, they fight until one day they decided to break their relationship. In the story, Clement had big changes in herself and in her life because of Joel. But she hates and then they both to choose to left each other. Until Clemeting was the first to undergo of the procedure of erasing Joel in her memory to be happy. She had a successful procedure. Until Joel went to the Library to give a gift but she saw Clement talking with another guy and it was like her new boyfriend. Patrick was the technician at Lacuna. He gets all the importation about Joel, and he copy all until he gets Clement. Joel gets hurt and asked himself why? When Joel knew that Clement undergo a procedure he gets angry and as a revenge he decide to undergo to but when the process is on he realized that he loves Clemet so much. In the end, after that procedure they met again on Valentine’s Day in the train like they do not know each other. But they looked at each other like they have seen them already. After that ride they still found each other falling in love with one another.
As I watched this film, some question came up to my mind! What is memory? What is the important of memories? What if the people you chose to love is not the right one for you? What if you love at the wrong time? What if the relationship you build did not last? Do you think you can forget a person who gave you so much to remember? Do you think the feeling

    In Fannie Flagg’s esteemed novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, characters and lessons from both the past and present inspire our main character, Evelyn Couch, to make changes in her life. The epitome of middle-aged misery and menopausal depression, Evelyn learns lessons from the stories and advice given to her by characters such as Mrs. Virginia ‘Ninny’ Threadgoode help her lift the veil of gloom cloaking her and aid her in reestablishing her dreams and goals – such as gaining a healthier and happier marriage with her husband, Ed, or losing all her unnecessary pounds. What sparks her journey to this better life, one she can actually look forward to at night rather than considering suicide, are the stories of a small Alabama town in the 1930’s and the residents who fight for happiness in a difficult time; Evelyn takes these stories of times past and uses the morals and advice given by Ninny to face each of her problems and attack every day with confidence. The transformation Evelyn embarks on is a sign of how strong she, or anyone, can be when their head is in the game, and as we see Idgie still selling her foods at the end of the book, we conclude that the past can live on even into the present.…

    Of all the disturbances being listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR)1 only a few of them have not yet been portrayed in films. Cinema has certainly been fascinated by insanity and its manifestations, and psychiatric disorders have provided film directors and scriptwriters with a stream of material for their scripts, action, and themes. Taking that interest into account, it is necessary to reflect on the vision of mental disturbances that has been transmitted by cinema to the public in general. For most average citizens the only contact they may have with the psychiatric reality is through cinema; hence, films are their one - yet strong -…

    There were many examples of how the characters in the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" manifested power in and through their lives. One example of this is with the character Big George. He was a black man who lived in the town. He also did the barbeque at the Whistle Stop Cafe. A big example of how he manifested power was through his dealings with racism. This movie took place in the 1930's, a time period where the black race was greatly looked down upon and thought to be lesser than white people. This could also be seen when Idgie's friend tells her he has to bring her to Georgia the next day because she is being convicted of Frank Bennett's murder. He basically tells her to pack up and leave the town so she is not arrested and also tells her to leave Big George in the town to get arrested because the people wanted to have someone hung for the crime, and they would rather have it be a black man than a white woman. So because of these biases, Big George had to find the power within him to overcome these obstacles and to live a decent life, despite the hardships he had to face on a daily basis because of his skin color. Big George also found power within his own family and even with Idgie. So, by combining their determination and strength with his own, Big George was able to overcome the barriers of racism.…

    I believe that memories are not important and you want to know why? To me, there is a lot more bad memories, than there is good. For example, there is death and betrayal, heartbreak, war, rape, racism, sexism, homophobia, sacrifice, mugging, robbing and that is not even a quarter of them. There is more than anyone can comprehend. If these things could be stopped then it would have already happened a long time ago, such as war. If war could have been stopped, if death could be stopped, if crime, grief, and pain could be stopped it would have happened by now. Yet there is still pain and suffering around the world and memories of the fallen and the sacrifices that were made to keep people safe haunts people that their loved ones have died, or…
