Abstract

As well as being among the most popular romantic films, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is noticeable in terms of reflecting postmodern ideas and concepts. Main postmodern concerns such as narrating the story in a nonlinear way, criticizing the world order which is described as hyperreal and excessive use of technology and knowledge are among the primary focal points of Charlie Kaufman’s Eternal Sunshine. The film, which is about a couple who apply to a company to erase each other from their memories, tells the story in a fantastic way. This way of narration enables the audience to follow the story through postmodern glasses.

Keywords
