Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

When Clementine and Joel see each other again at the diner near the beginning of the movie, the shadow of the camera is visible off to the left.

Members of the public can be seen waving to the camera while Joel is driving in his car.

During the "operation", Mary passes a joint to Stan.

In the next shot, Mary has the joint again.

Mary's hair changes from "windswept" (long shots) to neat (close-up) and back again when talking to Howard outside Joel's apartment, after Howard's wife catches them together and drives off.

When Clementine goes to Joel's building foyer, and meets Joel's neighbor (the "McRomance" guy), the actor waiting to walk into the scene is reflected in the door.

When Clem gets out of the car to get her toothbrush, a mic pack is clearly visible under her shirt.

Near the end of the film when Mary is walking around the corner with her box of belongings and cassettes, the man walking directly behind her disappears for one shot.

When Clemetine and Joel are meeting on the train in the beginning, the hair around Clemetine's face alternates from being neatly curled to being more frizzy and separated.

When Mary first comes to Joel's apartment to visit Stan and Patrick, she goes into the kitchen to pour drinks.

Just after she says "Let me do the honors," the pendulum of the clock on the wall is not moving.

About 2 seconds later, as she is pouring the drinks, the pendulum on the clock is swinging.

Long Island Railroad trains are shown with a red stripe on the cars.

This is the livery color for trains on Metro-North Railroad's New Haven line.

LIRR trains are blue.

In the beginning of the movie, as Clementine is walking on the beach, you can see her take a couple of steps on the wet sand near the water, but in the next shot, as Joel is looking at her, she is standing on dry sand.

In the scene where Mary first comes into Joel's apartment, Patrick and Stan had been drinking beer.

At first, just before the door is opened, they are both Rolling Rock (green bottles).

After she has entered, Stan's beer turns into a Labatt Blue (brown bottle).

While on the train on the way from Montauk point, Joel and Clementine are shown to ride the train to their destination of Rockville Centre, NY but the Montauk branch of the Long Island Railroad only spans as far as Babylon, NY (a full 12 stops away from Rockville Centre, NY).

When Clementine asks if she is ugly, Joel calls her "Tangerine" after the scene where she died her hair orange and he gave her this nickname.

The film shows Joel's memories of Clementine working backwards from when she left to when they met, so Clementine would not have this nickname yet.

However, because Joel is conscious of his memories (as well as manipulating them consciously at the time) and had heard Patrick in the previous scene calling Clementine by this nickname, it's possible that he calls her "Tangerine" for this reason.

Many of the continuity errors listed here may well be deliberate.

In the DVD extras, the movie makers explain that they played with the continuity to underline the struggle between the doctor and technicians trying to erase the memories and Joel trying to hold on to them.

When Joel and Clementine sit down on a tree trunk in a forest, a log behind them moves up and down quite significantly as if someone stepped on it.

After deleting a memory, the camera pans from Joel in an overhead shot, moving then to Stan and Patrick.

A bundle of wires can be seen on the floor in between the bed and table, one of which is obviously not plugged into anything.

Director Michel Gondry pointed out this error in the commentary of the film.

Joel's Toyota Corolla alternates between between different hubcap designs in different shots set on the same day.

Hands down what is going to stand out in this movie is the performances by Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey. These two breathe life into these two characters.

I watched this movie with high expectations, and now I feel a bit dissapointed. The movie has everything to be outstanding ( A very good and original plot, and great actors) but somehow it fails to create that deep feeling that a love story should have, and it fails in being interesting.

I'm in absolute disbelief at all the 10/10s this is getting.. it's like the director wanted to make an abstract art piece instead of a movie, here's a honest review.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is simply one of the best 'romantic' movies for portraying love in its all its messy yet wonderful forms in a creative and imaginative way. The movie focuses on Joel's and Clementine's relationship, or 'post relationship'.

A very insightful story about relationships. Are they really that hard?

Are the ones we want to forget.Clementine Cruczynski has been cleared of all the memories she has of Joel Barish.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A story about Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) and Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet), a couple of misfits that become romantically involved, lavishing in the passion of their fire.

This was by far the best film I have seen in years for real life romance. Living paycheck to paycheck and trying to find love out there had these two in a whirl.
