It made me remember all the bad times, be happy we're apart, and excited to find someone who is actually right for me. But this did not make me miss my ex at all.

It is a good movie, it will make you feel something, and it is very self-aware, in a good way. I don't know why I didn't find it to be as gut-wrenching as others have found it.

#Where to watch eternal sunshine of the spotless mind movie
I want to go into more detail but I won't - all I'll say is, I don't think watching this movie will necessarily make you want to call your ex. There are a LOT of scenes in this movie where you realise that, hang on, fuck no, these two people have a damn unhealthy relationship. It's unhealthy because the memories we have of that person almost never reflects reality (this explains the logic behind how exes getting back together almost always results in them splitting again. Thinking of the bad, however - why you broke up in the first place - is something we often conveniently sweep under the rug. Thinking of the good memories will make you want to remember that person and hold onto them. Not to go into specifics just in case you want to watch it, but there's several moments where they hint at this: when we think of our exes, we think of the rosey parts. By the time we've thought of a specific memory 20 times, it's completely changed from the reality of what actually happened. Our memories aren't actually concrete - they change each time we visit that memory. But overall, it really comforted me.Īfter going through a break-up, one of the things we tend to do is idealise our memories about that person. I've gone through a bad break-up myself - and yes, I admit - in more than one scene in the film I felt so heartbroken I nearly stopped watching.
I've been reading a few threads on this movie, and I have to say I didn't find it all that depressing overall. Just goes to show you how one movie can leave people feeling different ways and leaving with their own interpretations. It's fascinating seeing everybody's different opinion on this film.
