Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d? How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Let’s go back to the Alexander Pope line from the 1717 poem Eloisa to Abelard, which the movie’s title is based on. It’s a bittersweet end to Eternal Sunshine because the audience knows they were unhappy together when things fell apart for them down the line, but we still want to root for their love story anyway. The ending “okay” line seems to indicate that Joel and Clem have decided to continue their blooming relationship despite the knowledge that they could end up hating each other to the point of breakup and interest in forgetting one another all over again.

Mary can also be heard on the phone in the beginning of the movie telling someone that the procedure cannot be repeated on them three times in a month. We know that is not the case, because Joel and Clem somehow find their way back to each other even with memories wiped. Mierzwiak asks him to throw away all memory of Clem in his home and explains that when he wakes up in his bed after the procedure there would be a “a new life awaiting” him. Mary’s feelings do not go away for her boss and Joel and Clem end up together again.Įarly on in Eternal Sunshine when Joel decides to take part in the experiment, there’s a voiceover of Dr. The findings of the experiment seem to have proved not to be as advertised, and that leads to Joel and Clem learning of what happened to them. The plot twist in Eternal Sunshine looks to be the doing of Kirsten Dunst’s Mary after she found out that the mind-erasing procedure was done on her.
