10 Movie Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed

6. The Characters Are Set To Repeat A Doomed Romance On An Endless Loop (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is set in a world much like our own, with one notable exception: people are given the opportunity to erase past lovers from their mind, as to avoid the grief and torment associated with the break-up process.

The main characters in the movie, Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet), undergo this process The start the movie unaware that they are actually former lovers, and that they previously underwent the process to erase one another from their memories: when they meet again by circumstance, they are oblivious to the fact that they were in a two year relationship, and like how different they both are.

But Wait... The point of the movie is, in fact, one that a lot of people miss, though it's perhaps even more heartbreaking because Eternal Sunshine appears to end on a relatively happy note: the couple knowing what has happened to them previously appears to "improve" their chances of having a successful relationship, but this isn't true at all.

The fact that we know Joel and Clementine don't work together already means that, despite the fact that this time the know about having undertook a memorable erasing process, they are still doomed to fall out of love in the exact same way. We know this because, lacking the feelings from their first two years together, their relationship will progress in the exact same fashion. Somebody should really make sure these two stop seeing one other if they break up again.
