![]() And here is the most interesting moment of all: this is their last chance. Joel and Clementine will give their relationship yet another chance. Despite knowing the lengths that they went to remove each other from their lives, and despite NOT knowing about the beautiful moments and memories that make their relationship initially special, they decide to continue on. Both are scared, and both are now aware that they've been through this painful relationship in the past. Joel and Clementine listen in on themselves, and are surprised at how much disgust and sadness is on their voice. She's returned the files to all of Howard's patients, alerting them to their previous lives and all the pain that they went through before. That's the second emotional hit that I experienced.įinally, the last straw is Mary's reaction to finding her old files. Although the memories Joel lost during the movie will live on in our own memories, we are now painfully aware that there are memories beyond the film's scope that even we, the omnipresent audience, can't recall. And if they repeat the same mistakes, are they doomed to repeat their memory wipes? Have they lost even more beautiful memories than we have experienced in the movie so far? As the audience, you get this slowly creeping thought that there are now entire relationships, memories, and moments that happened before the film started, that are completely lost to every character. This fact, coupled with Mary's attempt at being romantic with Howard, hints at the notion that even though the memories have been wiped, the patients are doomed to repeat the very same mistakes again. The movie continues past the memory wipe, and despite the odds, Joel and Clementine meet again. This is the first emotional hit that we get as an audience. By the end of the movie you feel such a huge loss after Joel has completely erased his memories of her. ![]() The idea of destroying these memories and moments becomes horrifying to both Joel and the viewer. Throughout the movie, as you view all of Joel's memories, you begin to realize just how important this relationship actually is. ![]() Something that I brought up with my ex while watching this film goes a little contrary to the repetitive style of the relationship between Joel and Clementine.
