(Flash Review)
Let's say you became disgruntled with your significant other. Would you break up with them? Would you leave the city or state? Or would you undergo a procedure to erase them from your memory; permanently!? This quirky women, Clementine (Winslet), does just that to Joel (Carrey). Later and after running into her and her treating him like a casual stranger, he learns what she did and out of frustration and spite he decides to do the same. He locates this semi-professional targeted memory erasing business. During the erasing process there is interference between the memories and the people doing the erasing and the worlds sort of overlap. During the process the man decides to change his mind as his true love for Clementine still is strong. He and his memory of Clementine try to outrace and outsmart the erasing process. Can he still save his memories of her? Being directed by Gondry, the world is in his mind and is surreal, disorienting and like a dream at times. Really neat stuff. The unique soundtrack fit in nicely as well. One question I felt was pondered here, was if you could foresee all the flaws and problem you'd have in this relationship, would you still enter into it?
