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.

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?

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.
