  • This is one of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite films. The emotional payoff at the end is made all the more electrifying by Jon Brion's excellent score.
    A bit of context/explanation of this scene's ingenuity:
    In his opening monologue, Joel admits that he has trouble making eye contact with women. He spends the next 10 minutes of the film struggling to get to know Clementine, but his inhibitions continue to get the better of him. Clementine behaves erratically and appears confused by his body language, but she is persistent and desperate for his attention. After having tried everything she could to get him to respond, she finally shows mercy (or clemency) and lets him leave her house, but brilliantly asks him to call her when he gets home. He does, and without the pressure of her physical presence, opens up, and smiles.
    All of this is heartbreakingly poignant in the wider context of the film, which I will not spoil for you here.
    I hope I have shown that this is nothing more than a fan video, posted simply for the purpose of others' enjoyment. I ask Focus Features/NBCUniversal not to have this taken down.
