When Technology Meets Human’s Emotion, Technology Fail
Haw 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. --Alexander Pope The name of the film comes from an 18th century poet Alexander Pope's poem Eloisa Abelard. When I first saw the film, I did not find any connection between the poem and the film. After I thought in-deptht, I found the film is a reflection of the poem. There is a kind of eternal sunshine in people's pure mind, it won't be gone with memory. That is the sunshine of love. In the film, even though people erased the memories of their ex-partners, they always fall in love with each other again and again. The time in love is always beautiful, but dispute, misunderstanding and pain also exist in every relationship. Some relationships eventually break, and both parts want to erase the bad memory with him/her. However, happiness and desperation go together forever, if we want to forget something bad, the happiness will go, as well. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tells a story about erasing memory. It is different from some old ordinary films. The director made the film jump around in time to draw a picture of many different scenes in memory. Every scene is just like a jigsaw. The director used a unique way to put the jigsaw together, and let the audience and the hero find the last piece. In the end, we linked every jigsaw piece, or every scene together, and our heart got hit. The film begins with a strange action of the hero Joel: Joel decided not to take the same train to the same place, as everyday did. He ran to another train out to Montauk. He even did not understand why he wanted to do that as he did not think he was an impulsive person Actually, Joel and his ex-girlfriend Clementine had just erased their memories, in order to forget the pain of being together.
