1: Clock moves forward normally
2: Write a memory on piece of paper
3: Shred paper in shredder
4: Clock moves backwards, resetting time
5: Clocks moves forward normally again
In The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (2004, Charlie Kaufman & Michel Gondry), the protagonists erases each other from their memories after the end of their relationship. Our personal memories, histories and mythologies shape the person we are today. Some memories may be too core to us that we are unable to forget. To forget something might result in an integral part of us being altered. Perhaps erasing the past can change our future, but are we willing to change our identity? Perhaps certain aspects of our identity are not worth keeping. We relive years in a second, live in the past; or yearn to escape it.
