This is one of my all time favourite movies! It is a perfect example of unconditional love. Also, the Mary/Howard plot point was to show the audience that although the memories are erased, the emotion still stays. Real love never truly leaves you.
My take was, they wanted to erase their memories to avoid the pain of loss. But without those memories, they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. So even though the memories bring you pain, they are necessary for growth
Jim Carrey's best performance, i love when comedy actors deliver a dramatic rol of this magnitude
That would be The Truman Show
@@kassiogomes8498that's a comedic role
@@kassiogomes8498Jim Carrey’s best movie = The Truman Show. Jim Carrey’s best performance = ESotSM. According to me anyway
@@cormacl_04 nope. Eternal Sunshine is his best movie. Truman Show is his best performance.
You guys clearly haven't seen him in his most recent project, Kidding. It first aired some years ago and I think it got cancelled. It's amazing. It got a lot of criticism because people thought it was a kid's show. But it's about a sad and subdued man who makes a kid's show. It's truly a tragic story and he delivers it flawlessly ❤ Never felt so moved by a Jim Carrey's performance.
An hour in, Zuff: “I can see where the sci-fi comes in” 😂😂
This is one of the first films I ever saw that was "artsy." I was fourteen and cried for hours after it ended. I couldn't even really tell you why.
Omg. Same experience 😭 I was also 14 when I watched for the first time and cried after it ended. I also feel empty & lost for a couple weeks. 10/10 do not recommend
First observation: YOU, the guy in the middle - you’re an absolute NINJA about how you refuse to spoil things for your friends there. Very. Cool.
When this movie came out, they had a fake doctor's website where you could get more information on the procedure. Like people actually thought this was a real procedure. It was cool. Love this movie and loved your reactions! Keep up the good work! ❤
My psychology teacher showed us this movie when we were on the memory unit. It was a big hit in our class 😊
My favorite part of this video is at 30:21 when you guys collectively forget about glaciers
Clementine is rumored to have BPD and as someone with that disorder it really speaks to me. This is my favorite movie after all these years.
As someone who has PTSD, if technology existed that would allow me to completely forget about the trauma, I would absolutely do it. But my trauma wasn't a bad relationship. I've had more than one of those. Yes it was painful but not something I need to forget. But the true trauma in my past, I think my mental health would benefit if I could forget it.
I always interpreted the ending as they’ve repeated this cycle many times of erasing eachother and finding eachother again. No matter how epically they crash and burn or how hard they try to forget eachother, a piece of their souls always remember and always come back to eachother to do it all again knowing that it might end badly. This time with the awareness they have you wonder if they might finally fix their mistakes and make it work but either way their love is so strong that they always choose it despite the pain. 😢
There's no evidence of them having done this multiple times. And that leaves room for the theory that having learned about it, and what they really wanted to say to each other, even the hurtful things, there might be a good chance that they'll do it differently this time around, and that they'll work on their flaws and mistakes. That it will work out this time. It's a more hopeful take.
@@iulia.bianca.b there definitely is evidence that it could’ve happened more than once and many people share this theory. Maybe give the movie a rewatch. Also I enjoy tragic love stories so a hopeful ending is not necessary but I still think my take was quite hopeful anyways
@@iulia.bianca.blook and pay attention to the last scene.. It really give a good hint.
This movie is super unique and says something new about relationships in my opinion. Great reaction as always dudes.
We can lose our memory but we can still have the ability to learn. The people we love, we not only know them, we learn them, even when we're apart from them we still carry the little things we learn forever, for the better or not
The random conversation about the ocean freezing - the North Pole is frozen ocean. There's no land up there, only frozen ocean.
This is one of my favorite scripts of all time (Kaufman is legend), Gondry does an amazing job directing, and every performance is gold standard. So glad you boys got around to this!
"It's something you would consent to, but then forget you consented to. Is it ethical? Is it not? I don't know."
Kinda dark, but similar concerns have been raised in the real world about electroconvulsive therapy aka "shock therapy." It causes amnesia, usually regarding right around the time the procedure happens, but sometimes extending months or years prior. Some psychologists and experts on biomedical ethics argue that this makes it difficult or impossible to actually consent to the procedure. Signing something, affirming "yes, I consent to this," etc are of dubious value when after the fact, someone who has lost memory of that part of them says "wait I didn't want to do that wtf did you do to me."
This is one of my favorite movies ever. the Mary/Howard plot point was to show the audience that erasing memories doesn't solve everything. There's still an impression left. Just like how Joel and Clementine found each other again even after Joel erased his memories. Charlie Kaufman's writing and Michel Gondry's directing really both worked so well together in this. This was a more dramatic role for Jim Carey. It's one of those movies that's stuck with me ever since I watched it.
This movie is one of my top 3 - maybe 5 - and I think my very favorite WORD (not line) of this movie is, “Okay.” It’s profound. Kudos to you bros watching and processing it. Friggin awesome. I sure had a good time. Cheers!
I watched the special features on this movie and all of the special effects were filmed not CGI. He used so many cool techniques to get those effects. I wish I had known that before I watched it. Would have made me appreciate them more while it happened.
He used CGI, just a very very small amount
It really shouldn't have, but Bryce calling Elijah Wood Elijah Moore made me laugh so hard.
I’m so happy you guys finally got around to this 😊.
I’ve seen it before, but this will be the first time I’ll be watching it after having an agonizing, devastating breakup with a guy that I was absolutely certain I was going to marry. We were together 9 years. Not gonna lie… I would consider erasing him and the memories from my mind too. I get it now. I’m curious to know if anyone else here feels that way after going through a bad breakup or is it just me?
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed it.
Ps- so sorry I had to leave your patreon temporarily but I’ll definitely be back soon ❤
After my last breakup I also wished I could erase him from my memory, hope you are doing okay 🫶🏻
@@taylorfloperait’s been a longggg healing process but I’m getting there, thanks so much 😊❤
being rational, It's better to remember, even if it's to be angry or sad, to know what you're angry or sad about is better, that being said I would totally erase
My marriage of ten years (with him for 16 years) ended earlier this year. Whilst I’d like to erase the pain I don’t want to erase the memories anymore. He was a big part of my life, most of my adult life.
@@littleflick I’m so sorry it ended and hope you’re doing okay :( ♥️
If you enjoyed this please please please check out other movies that Charlie Kaufman wrote. He is one of the most extraordinary talents alive.
I would recommend starting with "Being John Malkovich" followed by "Adaptation."
Then watch "Synecdoche New York," which is one of my all-time favorite films.
yes!!!
yay, this is always on my top 4. it just came out in a perfect time of my life where I really needed it. Glad to see you guys watch it.
Zuff was cracking me up in this one
I've never clicked on a reaction of yours so quick! Keep up the great reactions!
23:26 Rob didn't know WHAT to say 😂
I vividly remember watching this film and Lucky Number Slevin back-to-back in one night during a winter vacation with my cousins. It was an awesome movie night, both films went into my favorites list
Jim Carrey as a drama actor is impeccable!! ❤ I've watched all his movies, and his more serious roles are the best for sure.
my favourite movie, i'm so excited you guys reacted to this!! 💗
What I like most about this movie is that the sci fi is just the set up. It doesn't entirely interfere with the story. It's not about how cool the idea of mind erasure is as a scientific concept, but it's just an excuse to get into Joel's mind and figure out who this guy is and what he's like. We see very little of Clementine or any other character outside of Joel's perception.
This might be the most honest movie ever made because it's not pretending that any of the events portrayed in it are factual or actually happened in the way we're seeing them. They're all from Joel's romanticized perspective. The good parts of the relationship could be just as exaggerated as when the relationship goes south. We never see things from Clementine's perspective, but it's done well enough that we understand both why Joel loves her and they ultimately drive each other crazy. They're drawn to each other because they exhibit traits that the other one wishes they had. Clem is outgoing, spontaneous and a free spirit. Joel is quiet, thoughtful and reserved. Opposites attract, I guess.
I knew a girl like Clementine (or Joel's perception of her) and I was a Joel. I'd just gone through a bad breakup with a girl and the film helped me to deal with a lot of things I was going through. It helped me to see 2 flawed people and where I wasn't right for her and she wasn't right for me, no matter how much I wanted things to work out.
Some of Joel's outbursts still make me cringe because I see myself in him and wishing I hadn't said some of the things I did when I was a stupid young man who didn't know any better. It was my first serious relationship and I didn't know what I was doing. For me, the sci fi is just a set up so we can see all the very human and identifiable behaviours that people can have in a relationship. I find people who haven't been through this or don't identify with the characters find the movie boring and don't get it. I don't know that it's a movie for everyone. I felt every one of their lines and I quite literally almost said verbatim those words Jim Carrey does on the ice when they're laying there about him being happy.
But again, if you're not a Joel, his behaviour can come off as needy and pathetic. I'm sure it would to a lot of women, actually, not just men. I love this movie because it reminds me that I'm still human.
Im not like either character but i ADORE this movie.
This movie was so trippy and interesting. This movie and The Science of Sleep were so fun/artsy to me as a kid
no wayy i was legit searching for reactions to this film and now u guys post. perfect timing
Oh my god i feel like ive been waiting for forever for you guys to watch this one!
this movie hurts so bad...
I'm so glad you guys did this one, it's my favorite of all time.
The salt content of the ocean actually changes its freezing temperature.
One of my favorite movies still to this day. I love how unique the plot of it is. I've always liked Kate Winslet, i used to fangirl her a lot. I also like Jim Carrey but the first time i watched this, i didn't look properly the other cast names than Winslet, until after the movie and realised i didn't recognize that Jim Carrey was in this AT ALL because of how different he is in this movie. But when i noticed his name afterwards, i was like: "Wait, what?! How is it possible that i could've not recognized him?!" And i've seen several of his films before, he has always been a very familiar actor to me. This was funny to me.
If you like the artistic style of this film, I recommend checking out Michel Gondry’s music video career. He’s pretty well known for making practical sets, and has some of the most inventive camera work I’ve ever seen. See Bjork “human behavior” & “army of me”, Daft Punk “around the world”, Lucas “Lucas with the lid off”, Foo Fighters “everlong”, White Stripes “fell in love with a girl” and many many more.
My favorite film of all time, thank you for your time ❤️❤️
Let's get you guys fully onboard the Charlie Kaufman train, please.
I know you won't regret it!
WHAAAAT HOW DID I MISS THAT YOU GUYS REACTED TO MY FAVORITE MOVIE
A movie that I recommend watching is Vanilla Sky. It is a beautiful film that deserves a lot more recognition. Similar feel to this one.
Many thanks to Zuff, Rob & Bryce! 🧠 All hail Charlie Kaufman's writing and Michel Gondry's directing. ෴ I ordered a *gift* *basket* for your winter pleasure and MAIL-TIME enjoyment. After my first two gifts (earlier this year) not having gift options, I'm relieved to say this big one will have a printed message along with it. It should arrive in your box between December 1st and 5th, so be on the lookout. 🎁
You’re a sweetheart
@@jessikaeguia1946 That's very kind of you to say, Jessika. (((hugs))) 🌷
I have been waiting for this one!
This is my favourite movie of all time.
Hard to rewatch this movie alone. Amazing movie.
I'm so excited for this. ❤
The artist who created this movie is one of my favorites. He also directed many music videos such as Everlong by Foo Fighters! As well as Bjork, White Stripes, Daft Punk
i love this movie. its so good and so unique. the cast is great. i prefer jim carey in his dramatic roles. one of my exes said he wished this place existed so he could erase me. which tells me he missed the whole point.
That punch she gave him on train was off script that was Jim real reaction to the pinch shocked and pissed that the director kept it in the editing cause it fit her quirky character
this is one of my favorite movies and i cry everytime i watch it. i love how creative they are with the "dreamy" parts, and how memories sometimes feel like they bleed into each other, the library book titles being erased, etc.
Bryce pick up things so quick! 🏆✨
I don't know why this movie hurts me so bad
One of my all time favorite movies!
Truly my favorite love movie
This was my favorite film for many many years. It’s still a contender for my all time. I’m so glad you guys watched it. 🥰
Jim Carey should have should have got an Oscar nomination for this a brilliant movie
This movie would not be as impactful if it wasn't for the amazing music and sound track. The music that is playing adds to the anxiety and tension you feel as Joel is going through his brain. Like, it's not even the songs, it's the tone and mix of the sounds that just puts you on edge. 5:32 - case and point made when Zach/Zuff mentioned feeling weird. It's the soundtrack making it awkward af!
My favorite Jim Carrey movie along side The Trueman show, great you are watching it. I'd love for you to watch The Cable Guy at some point as well for a more kind of horror feel, or for a feel good mood watch Poppers Pinguins. Or if you want to watch a young Jim Carrey in the 80's maybe try Once Bitten. A horror comedy.
Love this movie
I love this movie 🥺
If this movie came out today, would be Oscar tier
To answer your question about the kitchen scene. That was all forced perspective and not CGI. Gondry tried to use practical effects wherever he could.
Another interesting decision on his part was the soundtrack. Music wasn't used to fill in bits between dialogue. Rather you only got music really when there was dialogue or something happening
Still one of my absolute favourite movies
I recommend the breakfast club and Christmas vacation
Heh plane noises through the best line in the movie.
4:07 clementine puts blue dye in her drink, i believe, not liquor
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 love watching you guys ❤
You should watch Stranger than Fiction. Its Will Ferrell in a serious role and the concept is pretty wild as well, reminds me kinda of this.
That movie is not good
Oh yeah Elijah Moore from Firecrackers! Love that guy lol
Mary Jane, Hulk & Colonel Stars & Stripes all in one movie.
God I fucking love this movie
Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but I really liked Jim Carrey in "23". Am I alone in that? I never see it mentioned.
This video reaction is officially my favorite ❤
This is my most favorite movie ever ❤️🎬🍿enjoy
Same
Jhene Aiko has 2 songs inspired by this movie called Eternal Sunshine & Spotless Mind, I really recommend🫶🏽
My 2nd favourite romance movie ever. Now time for u guys to watch my fav romance movie La La Land!!
The guy on the left, he's a nice guy, I like him just fine. But he's a mouthbreather
Thank you!! Couldn't agree more!!
Werid comment
Rob is there a movie you haven’t seen?
if you haven’t watching it already, y’all should watch the movie Land of the Lost. the one with Will Ferrell. I feel like you’d really enjoy it !
can yall please request for them to watch step up😭!! abeg
W
I probably should watch this again before I watch the reaction. I only have seen it once and it was not long after it came out. I remember the premise but I have a feeling I'm not going to remember a lot of the plot.
Oh well. It's not on any of the platforms I currently have subs to, and I'm not going to buy it. 🤷♀️
I saw this great movie on the airplane when I was 23 (yeah when "nobody likes you when you're 23" -cit.) after many disappointments in friendships but still. I remember it as the movie that left me with the biggest void.
Will you guys watch Narcos? I just feel like there would a pretty good audience for that
How many weeds did you smoke today?
short hair rob is so.... brb. gonna need a bucket and a mop, ive made a mess. fffffffffffffffffffffffffff
GIRL LOLLL
Yall gotta stop. You know these are real people, right? Not characters in a show or movie
This is my first time watching you guys. Is the guy on the left really high? Or is it something else?
Maybe he was born that way.
@@logicn.reasoning9744 maybe it's Maybelline
Dude on the left needs to go back to sleep.
This was definitely a movie of its time lol
Everyone loves this movie but me. I hate the 'manic pixie dream girl' trope so much. I find it so juvenile. But I can admit it's one of the best movies that does that trope
I think that part of the point is that Clementine is sort of a commentary on that trope, maybe a deconstruction of it. Joel sees her like that toward the beginning of their relationship, but her complexity is revealed as the story goes on. She even addresses that perception of herself in the bookstore memory.
Rob is that annoying friend that says he already watched everything and acts like he likes nothing lol
what a rude comment. he doesn't act like that at all.
you guys don't normally talk this much during movies. We all know who the hulk is.
Really? I actually feel like they talked less during this reaction but I don’t have patreon so I don’t know how much they talked during the entire unedited reaction
I was so confused when he said elijah moore 😭 i was like holy shit ive got his name wrong all this time. Anyway elijah wood is SEGGZY. HSNGDHSHDHWNMARK RUFFALO TOO ALL THE HOTTIES I CSNT
WAIT DID EMINEM STEAL HIS GIRL????
My heart is going crazy if someone told me they thought my name was magical id think we were soulmates 😭
