Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) meet in the usual way, fall in love in the usual way and break up in about the usual way. However, when Clementine decides to have Joel erased from her memory, Joel makes the rash decision to do the same. Halfway through his procedure though he changes his mind and does everything he can to hold onto those beautiful (and not so beautiful) memories with Clementine.

ClearPlay in Action!

ClearPlay’s main job in this one is heavy language filters and sex/nudity filters. My filter settings were on Most for sex and nudity and Medium for everything else and left behind was an implied extra martial and premarital relationship, smoking, drinking and a little drug use. You’ll also see Mark Ruffalo in his underwear and some mildly disturbing images of people with no faces. With filters this one would be okay for teens 16 and up.

Will You Regret the Memory of Eternal Sunshine?...

I loved this movie! I so enjoy a different style movie than what Hollywood typically pumps out in mass amounts. Jim Carrey is fantastic in this and Kate Winslet is equal to her task of acting opposite him. So while it is on the same strange scale as movies like Memento and Fight Club, this one is pretty easy to follow with a wonderful lesson to be learned about relationships and taking the good with the bad and never regretting a moment.
