this is a thread of my analysis to eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (just a simple thread nothing thought provoking)
so i took a moment to watch this movie yet again but in both situations i am already a changed person than who i used to be. but i feel like this time i look it into another lens that isn’t build over the fact no matter what they would find each other
i just remember bits of that movie from my last memory of it but as i watched it again it became entirely a new moments for me and it felt like it’s how the movie was trying to tell its story and the characters i think im in love with clementine in her moment of best and worst
of course we know that relationship isn’t always going to work out.i think at the beginning of the relationship he thought clementine would be the one to make his ordinary life a bit better except it could have been a reason for him to fill that void a new person and a new memory
the whole theme or whatever it is around this movie tried to send a message that we need to go through the painful process in order for us to actually heal and recover and eventually we know enough of what we need and want instead of just an illusion of what it could have been
i like the movie as much as i liked it before now that i have like a new thoughts about it i’m not saying the movie is like life changing or anything but i feel so closer to clementine than i did before
the beginning of the relationship can be fun or you’re curious about the other person you just want to know them more and figure them out like they’re some kind of puzzle the new beginning of things have always been a rush of feelings that sometimes can be done out of just that
after the stage of honeymoon you are starting to see them in their real moments and nature and who they truly are and when you kept an illusion of someone with rose colored glasses that can be disappointing and it fell aparts
i love that the moment she walked out he thought it was one thing he did that fucked it up but it’s actually the final blow for the cracked to really be into tiny pieces of nothingness that can never been done. small cracks that lead to this moment.
no matter what it was not that they meant to be together it’s that memories can play a lot in our actions that led us to do it even though we know that the reason we left taught us enough that we shouldn’t come back over what has hurt us
i knew there was an alternative ending where they went through loops of this and it just never ending situation but that’s too sad and i don’t want to acknowledge that.
is it better to wake up one day and the pains the person caused you no longer feels hurts? (like in the movie) or is it better to know that pain is still there sometimes it’s there and it disappear and coming back but somehow now you know you’re better off alone
i never want a love story where people ended up together despite everything as if it’s inspiring maybe it is but for me, i want to know that every second of my breath i live my life in my honest self than being in a relationship that keeps me wonder
i prefer that the relationship ends and they work on themselves and eventually meet the people at the right moment and maybe it could have been better. i always wonder what went wrong from my past relationship and thought it was the one moment i regretted
but it could have been many things that i have done and said that finally drove them out. and i shouldn’t blame myself over it yet i shouldn’t blame them too. just because things end doesn’t mean it wasn’t real at all.
i think every experience you had with someone were real. i don’t think you should experience every heartbreak or trauma to understand that i don’t think whatever they did is a good reason for you. bc no one deserves to be treated like a stranger to the one they loved
the ending made me feel like they are off to the world and with better acceptance of each other’s qualities whether good or bad and maybe it’s alright i don’t hate it that much. i think acceptance is more important.
not the ending but somehow the perfect one that i can end with this thread. things will be over and end even if you don’t want it to be but i think we should rather focus on the present rather than the outcome of everything.
