Saving the Best for Last: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Nietzsche's Eternal Recurrence, and the Limitations of Conventional Chronology
By Ethan Lee
The film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind posits several questions relating to the value of memories from past romantic relationships. Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) and Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet) spend a large part of the film trying to determine whether the collective memories of their past relationship enable them to be in a more emotionally fulfilled state.
