This film is about Joel and Clementine. They go through this super awesome relationship and then go through this downhill spiral that leads to a painful breakup. Joel finds out that Clementine went through a procedure to erase memories of him and goes through the same procedure so that he can forget Clementine from his memories.
A scene that really stood out to me was closer to the beginning of the film. This takes place while Joel is at Rob’s house whining about his breakup with Clementine. During all of this, he goes through a flashback of what had happened recently that has been bothering him so much. It was a scene of him at Barnes and Noble with Clementine at the cash register. This took place after Clementine had gotten her procedure done, but Joel has no idea. Joel tries to make conversation but Clementine treats him as a normal customer and then kisses some guy behind the checkout counter who Joel assumes is her rebound boyfriend. Joel is heartbroken by this and immediately leaves. There is a long shot following Joel towards the camera walking aggressively in distress. The audience can see all of the aisles of the Barnes and Noble behind him and each of the aisle’s lights going out, one by one, until Joel reaches Rob’s house to real life, escaping the flashback. This was a very cool scene and clearly depicted the emotion that Joel was feeling after witnessing Clementine and her new boyfriend. Overall, this movie was great. It had a very unique and original storyline which was done very well. It was definitely a movie I would watch again, but I don’t think it’s as good as 500 Days of Summer. It was really interesting to see Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play such characters, but they did a phenomenal job. This movie was successful and I can’t stop thinking about it.
