The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Overall, Sunshine, as awkward and thoroughly confusing at it may seem and is, manages to express, in the most informal of ways, the feelings and thoughts we should all have when examining a relationship, in that it is not the superficial features but the underlining memories that make it all worth while. And Carrey's performance is only complimented by his interaction with Kate Winslet, who acts opposite of him as Clementine. I think the film will appeal to those who loved the recent masterpiece 'Lost in Translation' or Tom Tykwer's recent beauty, 'Heaven'. He is a fabulous everyman who is sympathetic and knowing, interesting and kind. However, after a silly argument breaks up their relationship, Clementine decides to visit Lacuna Inc.
Those recent memories are bitter as we witness the arguments and the boredom of their relationship. And why is it that we overlook some individuals that, although at first there is no real 'love connection' per say, we seem to have a somewhat pure liking for someone and that it takes us longer then it should to see that person for who they really are to us? He finds a balance from certain scenes in being like people we see everyday, feeling low, not much of interest, inward. Granted Sunshine does tend to veer off into the ridiculously absurd but when evaluating what one takes away from this film, it is pure genius. But, one day, he meets Clementine. She is wild and kooky, changing her hair color from red to orange to blue to green depending on her current mood. Their collaboration is crucial with Gondry and Kaufman and co-writer Pierre Bismuth , as they bring all of these un-real images a real quality. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! It is easy to understand why Joel falls in love with Clementine.
It's one of the great romantic dramedies of the decade. And sometimes, and to the behest of the assistants of Lacuna Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo , Joel doesn't want them all to be erased. But then there's one more part that completes the success of the film - the acting. The most recent memories are first to go and we watch as they slowly disappear into nothingness. Her character is eccentric, funny, insightful, and wanting. Carrey and Winslet pull off a great performance, both ditching the typecasts that they've been shackled with. It's so bizarre but yet also so beautiful.
It is a romantic fantasy with real emotions and real characters that will resonate with the viewer who isn't entirely closed to sentiment. Quite simply, there isn't a finer example of surrealism crossbred with realism in any other American film so far this year. The idealist may say that they lived happily ever after; the pessimist may say that they just reverted to disliking each other again. He goes through memories they had, happy ones, sad ones, some that are just what makes up what you have emotionally with the one you've loved. During the procedure, Joel's subconscious realizes that it doesn't want to let go of its memories of Clementine, and so begins a strange labyrinth of fragmented memories, constantly changing surroundings, and mental materializations of Clementine. It is as if he has never had a significant relationship of any kind. I think what the movie finally asks us after its long, emotional journey, is would we want our own memories erased? Clementine: This is it Joel.

There is no exact science to the concept of love. Too many moments are wasted on gut-instincts and logic, when it comes to love one must live every moment for what it is because we only have one shot in this world and we might as well make it worthwhile. But it's an asset that the story doesn't start from A to Z. It is perfect in almost every conceivable way, and anyone who complains that it is not original must be joking -- in my entire lifetime, this is one of the most unique film experiences I have ever had. Most films might choose to highlight this type of heartbreak with the death of a loved one or a bittersweet farewell at a train station.
