Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (ESotSM), was such a weird and confusing film we had to analyse the film and understand how a non linear film structure worked and I found it really bizarre.
A non linear structure to a film refers to the film not following a traditional or "linear" progression. Meaning its events either constantly go back to prior events or events in the film overlap constantly so you lose track of where you are. Until the end of the film rolls round and gives you the conclusion and packages all the clustered unorganised events and segments of the film together making it somewhat make sense.
In ESotSM the way a non linear film format was accomplished was by using erased memories. In the film a two strangers meet on a train and begin dating then through a series of events end up getting their memories erased. Then, after the surgery they get back together and eventually remember that they have been together all the time.
