The enternal sunshine of the spotless mind

 In the beginning of the movie when Joel goes out to his car and see's that his car has been dented he blames it on the guy next to him, even though later in the movie it was in fact Clementine who crashed his car. The way the movie plays out is that he is waiting for a train, and suddenly decides to go to the train Clementine  is on. He barley makes it through the doors which for me symbolizes their future relationship. There was a flashback to where they both met on the beach. Joel describes falling in love with the back of her orange jacket. In the scene where they are both in the house on the beach and you can hear her voice upstairs as Joel is talking to her as water is pouring into the house.






In the movie, the feelings in the movie were described with the lighting and the camera. For instance whenever Joel was in his dream land trying to remember Clem, the camera would always zoom out and become very light and dark symbolizing the feelings of both of them. It was cool to me that every time you saw her, her hair was a different color. She was impulsive and that is the one thing that Joel says he likes about her. If she hadn't been impulsive Joel and her would have never gotten together. In the end thought you see them on the beach in the snow just laughing and having a great time.
