      전 개인적으로 커스틴 던스트가 영화제목과 똑같은 제목의 시 구절을 말할때 나오는 조엘과 클레멘의 영상이 기억에 남아요. 플래시백 시점에서의 과거는 언제나 아름답고 행복해보이기 때문이랄까요ㅎㅎ 그래서 그런지 결혼이야기도 도입부에 찰리랑 니콜이 서로의 장점을 적은 편지를 읽을때 나오는 과거 영상을 좋아해서 예고편을 통해 가끔씩 돌려보곤 합니다ㅎㅎ 새해 복 많이 받으세요!

      It also shows one of the best quotes from clementine "People have to share things, Joel... that's what intimacy is" - the point is, is that Joel NEVER talks, so as good as the quote is to coming to a middle ground we know that when Joel says this it isn't to find a middle ground he says it to brush her off, just as Clem struggles to find her middle ground with how forward and brash she is.
      How do we know this? because we know that Joel writes in his journal we know he feels things just as deeply as Clementine, but while Clem is more than happy to be open and share so many things, Joel is more introverted and secretive. There is no wrong way to be, that's sort of the point of both of their quotes being from the opposite ends of the spectrum. And it's super fun to see which of those two quotes that are said almost right next to each other in the film... its fun to see which saying and character people identify with more.

    I always felt like this movie was saying that love isn't a feeling, it's a choice, it's an active decision you have to keep making after the immediate rush. Otherwise you just spend your life chasing that same initial flood of infatuation, not realizing true love isn't a constant excitement, that its a collection of smaller joyful moments over time.

    When I was younger and hadn't much experience with relationships I loved this movie and would watch it regularly. Now that I'm older and have had relationships end, not in painful, quick finalities, but in long, slow, periods of growing apart, I cannot watch this movie. It's too painful. It's too spot-on for what the slow death of human relationships looks like, the guilt, the loss, the realization that most things you gain will in time go away bit by bit until they're just hazy, semi-numb memories, like nerves burnt off at the end giving the sensation of a feeling but no real feeling.

      I've been watching this movie multiple times a year since high school. Watching it used to fill me with such comfort, it felt like I was returning home. After stumbling across this video today I realized I hadn't revisited this movie in over two years. Your comment really hit home for me. I feel like I've reached a period in my life where even the idea of rewatching this movie fills me with sadness. I still consider it to be one of my favorites of all time and I am thankful to be able to experience such an intense reaction to a piece of art. In my opinion, the fact that my relationship with the movie has changed so drastically over the years is a testament to its genius and beauty. Even though I am unable to rewatch this movie during this stage in my life, I am still looking forward to the relationship my future self will have with it.

      That’s really interesting. Because I’ve loved this movie so much for so long and in every stage of relationship imaginable. And when I’m most depressed I’ll watch this movie nightly for weeks. I feel like seeing the painful death of the relationship is what makes them saying “okay” in the end so heartbreakingly beautiful. I don’t think knowing most things in time will go away should be sad. How else do we make room for other things? And even if we don’t want new things and just want to keep what we have, holing on too tight doesn’t leave room for things to evolve and for people to grow. I don’t know, I think it’d be different if in the end they didn’t say (in my opinion, by saying okay) that they thought it was all worth it. Your comment makes me so sad, but I respect it. And I hope you can enjoy the movie again some time soon ❤️

      Just watched it again, I always do for Valentine’s Day, the line that unexpectedly hit me is when Clem and Joel are going to the beach house in Montauk after waking up in snow and humiliation, they both wrestle each other in the snow making it harder to get to the house and at the last part of the memory Clem gleefully exclaims “let go of me Joel” in a double entendre and it immediately cuts to the next memory. It’s so beautifully devastating.

      I never got myne, so I had to repeatedly make my own closure.
      I have hyperMnesia so I involuntarily relive memories, both good & bad.
      Whereas she has [confirmed & documented] amnesia with split personalities, so she forgets or the more ruthless ones make her, so she can stick to the life & vices she gets through her life with, rather then something better for herself.
      Whether that would include me or not, it shouldn't have included unethical people beneath us both.
      We broke up 4 times, twice each and i was the first for that reason both times..
      So I made a video-log-diary playlist on Odysee about it to help me escape the loop.
      Has it worked? Not entirely, but it's still helpful to anyone else..
      I can't throw the rarity away of who i am for the sake of someone who can't remember it..... Even for the rarities of her own... some relationships have expiration dates and I don't want to succumb to the societal rot she steeped herself in for it, just to be with an amnesiac who loses herself for others who aren't worth it... at the expense of someone who is... and i am not just talking of myself(s) when I say that, but anyone else more suitable than the 1-in-a-literal-billion, that we were.
      Should she eventually stumble across it, she'll get to enjoy 2+hours of content better than any of the podcasts and videos *she made me sit through(more than once!)*.... so... theres *that*.

    I didn't think the film was ending with an ominous suggestion they'd go through the whole cycle. I thought it was just that they were going to go through the relationship with an acceptance that just because it will probably end, and even end badly, it's still worth experiencing, and remembering. I thought it was about accepting sorrow, anger, frustration, as a part of the whole experience of life. Because rejecting those unwanted parts means losing the whole thing. And relationships are always worth remembering. If you forget them, you learn nothing from them, about yourself, or love, or life.

    This is probably my favorite film of all time. I saw it with my wife the year we were married and we both shared a deep love of its messages about the meaning of love changing through the passage of time. After 15 wonderful years, she died of cancer in 2020. This film had such a profound effect on us both, I don't know if I will ever have the strength to watch it again without her at my side. But once I do get around to watching Joel try to cling to his memories of Clem as they slip away -- just as my wife slipped away from me -- I imagine it will have an even deeper meaning I can't even comprehend...

That part absolutely destroyes me because I didn't get to experience that kind of intimacy with someone I really really really would want to experience with. Long distance sucks man. It's over now. He's avoiding me. I'm obviously not over him and this whole thing AGHHHH it's been 7 months and the pain doesn't go away. I wish I truly had enjoyed everything with you. But now when I try, it brings nothing but awful pain. I'm definitely not made for relationships and that fact breaks my heart ever more. I just walked out the door.

I've spent so much thinking about what could've been... how different life would've been if it just worked. Unfortunately, life isn't as easy. And I'm still working on picking myself up. One of the ways is not regretting it. And learning to appreciate every moment I've had with her. Learning from anything bad that had happened. And knowing that next time, I'll be prepared for when I finally meet the right one.

    I watched this movie when I was 15 yrs old, when it first came out. I was completely confused, had no idea what was going. 4yrs later, at 19, I decided to watch this movie again. Everything made sense. During that time I entered an on and off relationship that lasted 6yrs. Each breakup, I would watch this movie because it somehow validated my feelings for wanting to forget someone. It helped me cope with my grief. Each scene forced me to reflect back on my own relationship, forced me to cry, be angry and sad. It’s strange to say but it made me feel, well, not alone in my sadness. I related with Joel.

    We assume that relationships are meant for everybody. That romantic relationships are eventual milestones. The truth is not everyone is destined for a good relationship. You can love anyone you want from a distance. The same love would not work in terms of a relationship.
    A relationship is all about being comfortable in each other's company and working towards the same goals(most of the time).
    Some of us just need to look for good friends, or parent-like figures. Or even kids for that matter.
    Romance is not in everyone's destiny. And maturity is accepting this truth.

      That is true. :) i mean romance is not the only way a person can find deep intimacy and love. I dont think what you say is negative at all but something more positive because it reminds everyone that they have a chance to be accepted, love and be intimate without romance.

      ​@@archivehans ​ I think a lot of people want a romantic relationship without any understanding of how to make one work, and by the time they realize this, it's too late in life to work out their issues - because there's no time left to do that, _and_ find a good partner out of the dating pool, _and_ have any time to spare to build a life with them. I'm 40 and I'm finally starting to see & accept this about myself. I married someone I had no real relationship with, for our son's sake, but I have no desire to spend the rest of my life caretaking after someone who has never looked at me, or treated me, as anything more than a useful appliance. I know for a fact I will be happier alone, and I know all of the reasons our "relationship" failed. I know what parts were my fault, and assuming they are things I could ever change, they are not things that could ever change overnight. And I can't lie, it hurts a lot. I feel like I wasted my life by attaching myself to that guy, and I wish I could do it all over again and find someone who actually liked me & wanted me. But I try to go back to my first ever relationship. I was reading Harry Potter for the first time, and a question kept bubbling up in my head: "why do I feel more fulfilled living vicariously through these characters, than I do spending time with my boyfriend?" I never felt like he was right for me, but it never occurred to me that what was missing from my life wasn't romance at all - it was just friendship & adventure. My life was so empty, just like it is now. The only difference is that I really fell for the guy I married. And given that our son never got to experience the family life he deserved because of his emotionally absent dad, there is a lot more pain & shame involved in ending this relationship than there was with the first boyfriend. But that's what is helping me get through this period - the hope that I can find a good network of friends and try new things (ie, just _GROW_ as a person, which has been impossible to do with the guy I settled on). I think this is as much as I will be able to get out of what's left of my time, and as long as I am able to process the grief & forgive myself, I will be able to enjoy friendships & adventure (after all, if those things _alone_ made me happy before, then I think they could make me happy again).

    Now that I’m an adult, this movie, is too painful to watch. I’ve been through several relationships, and there’s one that this movie brings to vivid life. Too many regrets and undone promises, too many “what if”. I can really just close my eyes and imagine myself in that scenario, my 18 self with that one person, thinking “I could die right now, i’m just so happy”. Honestly I’ve never been that happy, even now that I’m married 🙂

    I've watched this movie so many times over the years. It's probably my all time favorite film, and it never fails to make me sob my eyes out. There are exactly two lines in the movie that make me burst into tears the second I hear them. The first is "enjoy it" and the second is "okay". Sometimes, I start crying at "enjoy it" and just keep crying all the way until we get to "okay". Sometimes I calm down in between the two lines and then cry again the second I hear Joel say "okay" in that happy, resigned way. Just the act of choosing to enjoy what time you have together, knowing it'll only end in pain but deciding that temporary love is worth it in the end- it just hits so hard for me

    My favorite line is "Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks.". This line resonates with my soul. It's a warm, funny, pitiful comfort, an innocent superficial atempt at desacralisation to bring the world back down at your level, and your sorrow. Joel is experiencing this before with his Corporate Valentine's Day explaination but is not as sweet and innocent.

Your quote of him saying, "Enjoy it" is something that has been witnessed by me at multiple times in my life in similar situations. Holds so much power.

    Forever my favourite movie, I listen to at least one song from the sound track every day. I sat my brother down to watch it with me once because he'd never seen it before and I like sharing films with people. He couldn't make it through to the end because it hit too close to home for him, and reading these comments, it looks like he wasn't the only one who had this reaction. I think that really speaks to the magic of the film, it's so spot on and illicits such strong emotion from the right people. While me and my brother didn't finish watching it that night and I felt bad about triggering him, that event only deepened my adoration of the film because I could only realize through somebody else the power within it.

    A beautiful and concise analysis. There's always been a connection between myself and this film, the way it so effortlessly depicts such overwhelmingly complex ideas of relationships, love, and loss. Joel journeys back through his time spent with Clem, reliving the bad ending before reaching the infatuated - yet excitingly blissful - beginning. The blending of real memories, Joel's consciousness breaking through, and his version of Clem and events is so perfectly done. Needless to say that the score is subtle when it needs to be, and pronounced when it needs to be. Such melancholy I didn't think could be expressed through music. The mise-en-scene in the montage at the end is truly astounding; everything collapsing around Joel, all of his memories getting whisked away from him as he's thrown around the whirlpool of his consciousness. Such purposeful use of a non-chronological plotline results in any confusion felt at the beginning being turned into realisation and satisfaction at the end, understanding Joel and Clem's relationship, what happened to it, the beauty that they both return to Montawk and the relief when they both agree to do it all again - even after hearing how it turns out.
    I'll never get tired of this film, and I'll never get tired of hearing wonderful breakdowns of people's favourite parts.
    Thank you.

    Great movie, I was with someone and months into our relationship we found out that we both loved this movie.
    It also kinda hit a spot for us with our relationship too, we had some similar things going on, she more a more wild background and personality and myself more quiet. We weathered through all of our storms but then we were in the wrong place at the wrong time and became the victims of a robbery gone wrong and I almost passed away but she did pass away and now I find other similarities in ways that I didn't want to feel like how I feel myself starting to forget little things and that really is upsetting but I try to focus on the memories I do have. I haven't watched this movie since and just watching this tells me it'd be pretty hard to do.

    Clem asks Joel to identify a constellation of stars in the sky and Joel jokingly makes one up, he points to the sky and proceeds to describe its shape and curves - Clem starts laughing in amusement as she senses his bullshit and then she says to him - “shut the fuck up! “ - but it’s the way in which she delivered that line that was so profoundly endearing and sweet. The chemistry between the two was effortless, euphoria.
