no it's all about the meet cute and chance encounters
I think it's cosmic. That may sound trite but it's true for me.
Posted by SeasonI think so too .

Posted by AdmiraIOh yes absolutely.
But there may be chance encounters, but that's just that. They remain encounters unless you make it into something else. Some of those encounters are just at the wrong time unfortunately (or fortunately?).
I am not talking about what encounters turn into, rather what we feel about those people we encounter .
Posted by marshmallowThe film's release was very timely. I was going through a bad breakup at the time.Posted by Ram416lol

Posted by bubbythewhale1Yes motivating too . Absolutely
Thought this was a Jhene Aiko thread too, she has a song called Eternal Sunshine & Spotless Mind.
I've been thinking about this type of technology too, specially after meeting someone that makes you feel like you've both gotten amnesia and have to remind them of themselves, this feeling suuucckksss, but its motivating at the same time
this movie always seemed so boring to me, I never watched it, despite being a fan of jim carrey
Posted by marshmallowWithout the past lessons, would we not repeat them? The uncomfortable situations are what pushes the mind to grow and overcome. Maybe what still hurts us from our past are experiences we haven't had and released. So we keep repeating it in an insane hope for a different outcome.
How true is it that we have natural liking or disliking towards most/certain people ? Is it that its not the circumstances nor the logics that takes our decisions inside ? Would we like same set of people again n again n again even if the circumstances were different and similarly feel uncomfortable by same people that have made us feel uncomfortable before ?
Would we make same choices again if given a second chance ?
I think no, a slightly change on circumstances and our life could be completely different.
What I've always thought about that movie is that every moment is important, as it constitutes a step in our lives stair.
Our memory records all our moments, victories and failures. Once those moments pass, they are kept as memories, as lessons that lead us to our next step. If we erased those memories the lessons are gone also.
Learning is impossible without trying.
This film reminds me of all those impossible people and stories we hold onto, we try and try even if is a dead end.
Many people think they end together, but I think they break up.The beautiful thing for me is that they break up, both erase their memories of each other and still when they know their past story, each other's flaws, how the story is going to end, they still want to experience it.

reminded me of "The Chips Are Down". Actually "Les jeux sont faits". But this has a negative taste compared to OP.

it's better to erase the memories if possible because every time a female deep bonds and breaks away. she loses a piece of her.
There is a breaking point and it comes very fast. Vast majority of single 30 something women are long gone.
you can't keep falling in and out of love.
Oh goody, your moon is showing. ?
I don't disagree though the age for a total break
could vary for those coming out of long term
marriages/relationships.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
It's one of the few I own.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind... a clear
conscience and no bad memories.
But to answer OP, no I don't think the people
we are drawn are entirely circumstantial, and I
do believe we would choose them all over
again in a scenario like this movie.
How many times have you dated someone with
similar qualities to a person you have dated
before?

Yes i agree its not entirely circumstantial . Circumstances play a crucial rule in giving us opportunities to meet and meet more but if we want to be more with them , that becomes our own choice and it comes naturally . You can make that thing .
I am stating an opposite scenario here. There was this guy who was perfect in most of the criteria that i had in a potential partner . Education , work , thought process , independence ...he fitted it all . He was very interested(i could see). First time when we became friends , it was only him wanting to meet more n more . I on the other hand would just meet once in a while for formality . I dont know why i didnt like it around him . Eventually we lost touch. Couple of years later we again started speaking and i thought why was i so anti him . There is nothing wrong with him. He is perfect . I decided to control my behaviour towards him . When we again met after a few years of not meeting (but staying in touch via phone ) , i again felt irritated around him . I felt the same as i had felt the first time.

Posted by pisces4scorpioWow
I'm living the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
My best friend and lover fell into a deep depression and submitted himself to electro shock therapy.
Three days a week for about 10 and a half months.
He came out of it not remembering anything from the last ten years. But he remembered me (I came into his life less than 10 years ago)
The shock therapy ended in December. He remembers that he trusts me (he's a Virgo so that's a big deal)
the past year has been incredibly difficult realizing only I hold our memories now. In the last month I've been able to slowly tell him stories and memories from our years together and sometimes he recalls pieces and other times just thanks me for telling him about himself.
The biggest thing was sharing a playlist with him of all our songs. Apparently memories associated with music are stored in a different part of the brain and that part of the brain wasn't effected by the shock therapy. So when he began listening to the songs associated memories return.
Another weird thing is he can look at thousands of photos of himself and his family and has no recollection of any of it - but he remembers all his favorite memes!
The brain is such a mystery.
His sense of humor is the same which I'm grateful for.
But it's painful to watch him struggle with trying to figure out why he did this to himself. I know why. His family knows why. But we think it's best he doesn't remember the things he wanted to forget.
One of the best days of my life came recently when I awoke to a text message saying he spent the night focusing on trying to recall the first time we met and he recounted many of the details.
It's still brutal tho to know your best friends memories are gone and only you hold them.
I know the memory is gone but then the rapport is still there . Many friendship , only memories is what remains . No same old friendship left.

The movie was about 2 lovers erasing all their memories of each other (using some science fic tech) , because their relationship was turning toxic for them .
When they meet again with out even knowing that they have been lovers before, they again start getting drawn to each other .
