i love the movie eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. if you haven't seen it, you should. if you plan to, then stop reading this now because i will spoil the ending...it tells the story of joel and clementine who fall in love on a train to new york, despite the fact that they are completely different they are inexplicably drawn to each other, it's like magnetism.the crazy thing is that they are actually former lovers, who were together for two years. after the break up, clementine visited a company called "lacuna inc." to have every memory of joel erased from her mind, successfully. when joel learns of this he is totally devastated, and does the same. most of the film is told in joel's subconscious as each memory of clementine is consumed by a dark nothingness and he struggles to keep her alive in these memory-dreams.
the irony of the film is that even though you to try to erase someone from your mind, you can't erase them from your heart. and that destiny or fate or whatever will ultimately bring you back together. like you can't deny love. so in a way, it conquers even our weak attempts to fight it.
pretty cool eh?
