“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.y. A quote from Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard," which is the basis of the second feature film by Director Michel Gondry ( Human Nature, Be kind Rewind ) and writer Charlie Kaufman ( Being John Malkovich, Adaptation ). What would you do if you heard that your girlfriend literally had you erased from her memory? Joel Barish ( Jim Carrey ) decides that he will erase his girlfriend Clementine ( Kate Winslet ) also from his own memory, but while this is happening he comes to the conclusion he doesn’t want to erase her at all. Eternal sunshine is a marvel in every way. The acting is at a very high level. Jim Carrey is still very much underestimated as a serious actor, but hold very strong in this movie. The visual creation of a memory being erased, is something we normally see only in dreams and the story is so well written and adapted to visuals it is a lust for the eye and the brain in one.
