In this my favorite movie of all time Joel(Jim Carey) and Clementine(Kate Winslet) are coming off a 2 year relationship that has gone bad. Clementine has a procedure done to have all memory of their relationship erased from her mind. When Joel eventually finds out about this he wants the procedure done as well. The majority of the movie takes place in Joel's mind the night that his memories are being erased one by one and when he wakes up in the morning she will be forgotten forever. What he does not count on is that during the night he remembers why he fell in love with her originally and must find a way to stop from forgetting her for ever

Excerpt from Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

Taglines
You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.
Our memories makes us who we are. You can't change the past.
Would you erase me?
This Spring, clear your mind
I'm fine without you.
Do I know you?

In this Screen Capture Joel (Jim Carey) is in the foreground and Clementine(Kate Winslet) in the background
He has already seen her on the beach and in the restaurant and once again he is drawn to her when they meet at the train station

Wikipedia
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a 2004 American romantic fantasy film scripted by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry. The film uses elements of science fiction, nonlinear narration and neosurrealism to explore the nature of memory and romantic love.[1] It opened in North America on March 19, 2004 and grossed over US$70 million worldwide.[2]

Kaufman and Gondry worked on the story with Pierre Bismuth, a French performance artist. The film stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet and features Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, Elijah Wood, Jane Adams, and David Cross.

The title is taken from the poem Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope, the story of a tragic love affair, where forgetfulness became the heroine's only comfort.

The film became a critical and commercial success, developing a strong cult following and receiving myriad accolades, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film was lauded by critics as one of the best, most widely discussed, and thought provoking[3] films of 2004, and, in recent lists, has been acclaimed as one of the best films of the decade.
