not a sci-fi, more like a love story which reflects reality.

Rating: 9/10 (6 April 2019)

This movie is basically talking about when Joel and Clementine, the couple, find that they are not happy with each other and decide to erase their memory, and when they meet again in the place where they meet in the dream, and restart their love. And something interesting is another story line, the married doctor who is responsible for erasing Joel's memory and his assistant Mary were lovers before, but Mary erase her memory about this. After she finds out this, she sends all the records about Joel's memory to Joel, which lead to their disagreement at the end of the movie.
For my opinion, this movie is more likely to be a love story instead of an science fiction movie. The movie states a dilemma in love. Joel loves Clementine, he doesn't want to delete her from his memory, but there is conflict in the reality, there is no perfect love. The longer two lovers love, the more problem there is. As long as they just see the problem of the love, it becomes torture instead of happiness. So, how to deal with love?
Just like Romeo and Juliet, Joel can't live without forgetting Clementine. But there is so much that two lovers disagree about, they both know that they hurt each other. Joel says that Clementine is an uneducated bold girl, Clementine says that Joel is a extremely boring man. At the end Clementine says that i am just a bad girl who wants to find a peaceful soul, and Joel says OK, they face each other and cry. Even they are back to reality, and become strangers, they still try to love each other, at the end they still give each other an other chance to start again. Lovers should not always focus on the small problem, just like what happens in the movie, when they are trying to delete his mind, Joel finally realize that there is a lot more happy memory they have, way more than those small problems.
Flaws in Joel and Clementine's relationship are inevitable but decide that they are meant to be together nonetheless. Love means that they should forgive each other with small problems, people always realized how sweet they were after they break up. The most touching part in the movie, is when Joel and Clementine walk on the beach at Montauk, they enjoy the time spent on each other. I think if each lovers can remind themselves how awesome he or she is by accepting the problems ,imperfection and dilemma in love, there will be a perfect love, and spotless minds.the memory deleting is not just a meaningless thought, it is also a reflection of reality. I believe that two lovers will forgive each others' problem and meet each other just like they've never met. In my opinion, the name of the movie is not an irony, but to express how an imperfect love create spotless minds, how faulty minds make perfect love.
