Great film, but after viewing it, there is no real solid interpretion, or at least I don't think, the plot and what happens throughout the film pretty much sums it up for us.

The movie is about Fate. Fate binds two people together, and no matter how hard they struggle against it, they will never fully overcome it.

Even after erasing each other from their memories, they still meet each other again. Then, even after getting the tapes in the mail and knowing how unhappy they were at the end of the erased relationship, they STILL choose to be together.

Sometimes two people are meant for each other, and Fate will always bring them together.

I believe that this is a film that shows that mistakes make us. As painful as some memories may be,we learn from them. To erase them is just making your life more of a pain.

This movie is about the futility of trying to make everything perfect.

In this movie people have the ability to erase bad memories, but end up making things worse by denying flaws and mistakes instead of learning from them and dealing with them.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind shows how it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all and how fate will bring two people together. At first Jim Carey wishes to erase Kate Winslet from his memory but as he relives every single moment with her, he realizes that he doesn't want to lose what he had even if it is painful because what they had was beautiful. Even after having their memories erased, they still walk right back into the same situation they were in before it. The tapes kind of show how you live and you learn from your mistakes and how they were willing to try to overcome them.
