I am extremely familiar with the soundtrack for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Jay Electronica’s mix tape over its music score. Today I actually watched the movie. Ehhhhh, not sure if it was a wise choice. Great movie and all but now I am consumed with the concept that there is some clinic that provides its clients with selective memory loss through object conditioning.
If art imitates life, why can’t such a place exist? I can’t say that I’d dedicate my days in search of but now I have something to hope for to serve as a distraction to the memories I want to erase.
Maybe that was the point of the movie all along. Life provides salve for all of memory’s ills, just no actual cure.
