This film hits me on a very personal level. I have an old friend who I loved very much and haven't seen in years. We met on a beach and coincidentally the last night we ever spent together was also on a beach. Complete circle. She'll always have a place in my heart.
@@grey6545 We ran into each other again a while back. She knew my sister. I couldn't believe all the little things that she remembered about me it was sweet. The chemistry was definitely still there. She told me that she'll love me forever and I told her the same and that there was no one like her. It's one of those star-crossed things I guess but who knows.
@@josebro352 In any case, you don't need to worry about anything. 😊 If you too are fated to be together then not even a world disaster would be enough to stop that.
I love the line "She was... just a girl." I dunno why it gets me, it's just that he says that, knowing that she wasn't just a girl, she was everything to him.
the sad thing also is that this is his own imagination thinking of all this. his own subconscious side filling what it knows about her and making her kind. because he loves her.
And intentionally leaving in so many details about her behavior making him deeply uncomfortable? That doesn't make any sense towards your claim. Doubt it.
@@allendrake6960 because without this unpleasant moments the "Joel's" Clem would not be legit to him and his own mind. This is why DLC ENERGY made a right argument about.
@@allendrake6960 Did you see the film? All of those sort of scenes are in his own head, so of course its his own subconscious filling in details. After all they're having conversations that didn't happen in reality, so his brain has to fill in her side of the conversation :P
I thought this was one his last memories of her. this is the time when he first met Clementine. In this scene, they are having conversation about they must have a proper closure. And for the last time, Clem said "Meet me at Montauk"
I'm currently in one like it. This film makes me appreciate it so much and makes me really know how much she means to me. Helps me know that things might end, and that that's okay. Helps me feel things I didn't know I could feel. I cry everytime I watch this scene. I've never had that with a film before. I don't cry at films really. But I couldn't stop when I watched this. It's so real to me and the representation was perfect.
@@ford4793 agreed. Me too right now. The most magical, life changing relationship, liked him for 11 years, dated for 6. But I wont allow him to propose everrr bc im too detached, independent and skeptical of “forever”. But I am too much for him. 😞 or maybe not enough.
I love how they tried to forget each other but in the end still found each other again, even though they tried so hard to forget. just goes to show you that love works in mysterious ways...
The main point of the movie is that we can’t fight our own destiny. Even after Joel and clementine erased each other they still had a connection and couldn’t help but meet again. And once they realized they had already dated and it fell apart and that it would most likely happen again, they chose to be together for however long it lasted, because the good moments of love are worth the risk of heartbreak. It’s a crazily deep movie.
They found each other again and agreed to keep trying to make it work, despite their individual challenges. That's the point of true love, caring for your partner and being loyal to them in spite of their imperfections, focusing on the qualities that captured your heart in the first place.
there's something so painfully honest about this movie but it kinda hits home with this scene. that's why i love Charlie Kaufman. his writing seems so real, so lived-in. It's beautiful. This is my favorite movie of his.
So start now. You can't change your past, of course, or maybe even how you feel about it, to a certain extent. But you can make sure that some things, you never let happen again. Start not regretting, from right now onward. ♥
I wish I could erase him and all of our memories because the pain of losing him and constantly thinking of him and what he's doing and who he'll move on with is so painful. I wanna take an ice pick to my brain. Turn the music up so loud I can't hear myself think. Try to stay busy 24/7. This is killing me.
Same here. Everyone says time heals all wound but it has been so long already I don't know when will this pain end. I don't understand how some ppl move on with their life so easily. I wish god never invented love
Time doesn’t heal all wounds, but we grow around the parts that are taken from us. The void of those missing pieces, in their own way, become part of who we are. I can’t tell you anything that will take the pain away. There is no shortcut. You just have to feel it until you don’t anymore. The best anyone can do is offer you the consolation that, in time, though the wound doesn’t ever fully heal, you can separate the pain of the loss from the joy of and gratitude for what you once had. Keep your head up.
Because you’ve got a heart and you know what love is. Real love. I cried during this part too, I’m not afraid to admit that. It’s one of the most beautiful and emotional scenes in one of, if not, the most beautiful and emotional films to date. It’s my favorite movie actually if I had to pick one. Sorry this comment is 12 years too late.
Watched it this year and cried my eyes out. Got my brother to watch it and he didn't shed a tear. I really do think you have to have 'that' kind of relationship to appreciate what it's trying to make you feel. All love is different, which is the best part. But this film was made with a certain love in mind.
@@ford4793 Man you took the words right out of my mouth, I hate the fact we’ve both experienced that type of love before because it’s that sort of love that you can never quite get back. She was the nicest girl I ever met, she treated everyone nicely, it’s made every relationship I’ve gotten into afterwards fallen apart because I’m always been let down. I’m doing much better, but when it comes back to hit me I’m weak
Well, when he said that, it was actually before he became intimate with her. The line is powerful because the movie took us from the end of their relationship to the beginning, and in all of our past relationships, she is always "just a girl"... at first. Because we know the outcome of their relationship makes the line a stroke of genius in the script. Well deserved Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
I like the ride home after when the last of the memories are being erased as Joel stares out of the car trying to hold on to them. The memory erasure worked backward. What he didn't like got erased first. What he loved about her was left, so he tried to hold on to those memories as one by one they were taken.
One Unique feature of this film is everytime the main character speaks, the music stops and when they don't talk the music continues. Kind of like the opposite of many movies where in the music is blended thru the dialogues
When he walks out the door the second time, Clem calls him "Joely" - just what his mother called him. Hearing this has the emotional power to bring him back when perhaps nothing else could.
And this is the scene where a new memory is created -“meet me in montog” - when he came back instead of leaving … which survives and enables them to reunite …
I love this movie and I love this scene especially, it's so moving...because at this point, all Joel can feel is just loss and regret about everything that has happened. It proves that petty differences don't matter and that love is the most important thing.
The direction, the cinematography, the score, the writing, everything. This film (especially this scene) is just perfectly done. I love the duality of this scene with Joel’s conscious remembering the memory as it was and then the current Joel breaking away from the procedure/memory to give his final goodbye to Clementine before she is completely wiped from his mind. It’s so heartbreaking.
God I love this movie!!! and I believe it has a special meaning when you're in love (like I am now)...despite the bad moments they had, they're willing to take a second chance, cause they know what they had... was unique...beautiful
I always watched in a more pessimistic way. Even if they try again it's doesn't mean than love concerts all. It's just means we are foolish enough to think that their second try won't go wrong. Even if we know better. But still I am a huge fan of this movie besause
One of the best scenes in a movie if not the best. You go through all the feelings and can just feel what Jim Carrey/Joel was going through as the last bit of his memory of his love just disappeared forever. It's beautiful
What I love about this scene is it's showing us all what it could be like if we just talk honestly how we're feeling and not be defensive. The way they are talking here as impending deletion of the memory is looming is really loving and modest - stripped of any negativity.
I love this movie, heartbreaking, and beautiful. i showed this movie to my wife. This scene made her cry. It was actually one of the first movies we watched together. With such a powerful moment in the movie, you can truly never erase someone from your memories.
"I wish I'd done a lot of things... I wish... I wish I'd stayed.. I do" "She was... Just a girl" So sad that he knows there's so much to know about this person he loved so deeply... yet at this point, he's forgotten just about everything.. Its tragic.
Ellen Pompeo from Gray's Anatomy played Joel's girlfriend Naomi but all of her scenes were eventually cut. Not sure why they did that. Seems like her character would've added to the narrative.
at 15 i cried like a baby at this because i totally got it. me and the chick will always have tension. same with my baby mama i met years later.. love is love

The car full of sand is the part that always gets me. He's reached the end and he's still holding onto that beach for as long as he can.

I have someone that I'll always love but I need to forget. 3,000 miles of distance can do that to a person.
I think that when they forgets, don't learn the mistake and still found each other again.
This really is the best scene in the whole movie. It gets tears in my eyes every time I see it.
It encapsulates everything you fell about a first love. It is truly the most brilliant movie never seen.

Agreed 110%
It was the only time in the movie he sayed "I love you". And was the best.
What a strange calming and nostalgic feeling. To see this scene 4:3 and 240p now, 12 years after upload on YT.
'She was uh...just a gal...'
the most beautiful statment ever.

Happens to be my third favorite

2. The ending scene
3 this
It must mean something to you, or remind you someone that you can't erase.
By far the best scene " let's at least pretend we made a goodbye 👋 "

I’ll always love you.
one of my favorite moments ever put on film :')), this movie changed my life
perhaps it's becuase you've felt this kind of pain (and/or regret), and they havn't. I know I have. This scene nearly kills me each time I watch it.
I love the part where he says..."I thought you were a nut, but you were exciting"
Que pelicula más hermosa :(!
Esa escena esuna de las mejores sin duda y una de las más tristes también D:
ugh i rewatched it for the millionth time yesterday and i still adore it every single time ♥

We can live ten thousand years but yet we will still fall in love despite the devastation. Because we are dumb? Wise? Because we want to.

"I walked out the door.. There's no memory left."
“Meet Me in Montauk.”
I walked out the door.
I so wish I could watch this for the first time again. I remember going to college the next day and still impacted by it. Best movie ever, easily.

Pretty sure it's 'Peer Pressure' off the soundtrack.
