A video I've never seen before, a nostalgic pain in my chest. I will never come across a romantic movie like this in my life.


This work is like an unforgettable lover that will remain in my heart no matter how many years have passed.


Joel (Jim Carrie) learns that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet), with whom he had a quarrel, has had memory removal surgery. Why did she erase her memories with him? After much suffering and hesitation, Joel undergoes surgery himself, but realizes that the pain and sweetness of love are precious memories that he does not want to erase.


This film, released in Japan in 2005, is a masterpiece that is sure to be mentioned when talking about films from the '00s. The idea of ​​​​visualizing the ``want to erase the memory'' that everyone who has experienced unrequited love, the unique visual expression depicting the memories, the harmony of acting by the super A-class cast, the poster visuals, etc. The coloring is also innovative, and it is truly a movie that is ``all about creativity.''

At the 77th Academy Awards ceremony held in 2005, it won the Best Original Screenplay award, beating out socially conscious films such as The Aviator , Hotel Rwanda, The Incredibles, and Vera Drake .


This work, which is a love story that is completely original and difficult to win awards for, probably won the award because of its overwhelming originality.


The story was created by the famous screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. He received an Oscar nomination for `` Being John Malkovich '' (1999), and created a series of eccentric works such as ` `Human Nature '' (2001), `` Adaptation '' (2002), and `` Confession '' (2002). Teaming up with the standard-bearers of the new visual world such as Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and George Clooney, he created the foundation for cultural films from the 00s onwards.

This work, which was created based on those experiences, is a competitive work that for the first time properly depicts ``ordinary people'' while maintaining the traditional ``play''. He has firmly grasped the psychology of the public, who had previously avoided him due to his strong quirks.


The director is Michel Gondry, who is known for his film style. Like David Fincher and Spike Jonze, he is a music video and commercial director. Music video directors such as Mike Mills for ``Beginners '' (2010) and Marc Webb for `` (500) Days of Summer '' (2009) are highly supported by movie fans, but even if he is the one who created the rule, be.


A fusion of narrative interest and visual freshness. Furthermore, it has empathy and universality that reaches the masses. This film, with all its features, captivated a wide range of audiences, from novelty seekers to Oscar-seekers, and became a masterpiece that continues to be loved more than 15 years after its release.
