This is shown by having the transition of Clementine’s first hair colour of blue -when her relationship with Joel is fresh and happy- to her orange hair -with the digression of her partnership with Joel and the start with Patrick.

This har colour is shown in during the major conflicts of the movie that mainly involve occurrences that happen outside of Joel’s memories for example, when they fall out and when Clementine starts to see Patrick Wertz her hair is orange. When Joel and Clementine’s relationship is its final stage of being broken down and their major conflicts as a couple occur, Clementine’s hair takes on the colour of orange. This is done to aid the viewer to better understand the nonlinear narrative that Gondry carefully weaves throughout the story, sowing little seeds of foreshadowing for the viewer to uncover and figure as the move progresses.Īfter the introduction of the movie the main body of it has Joel reliving his memories of him with Clementine as their relationship breaks apart. This is done by having Gondry adding in other little things such as the dent on Joel’s car that he noticed at the start of the movie -which is revealed to have been done by Clementine when they fall out and remove each other- and rehashed again after his memories are removed (when the loop comes back around) and the context of the dent is revealed.
As the movie progresses the viewer slowly finds out that the first time Joel and Clementine meet is instead the end of the movie- when they meet after they have had their memories removed.
This first starting hair colour plays an important role in how Gondry first starts to unravel the nonlinear way in which their relationship is represented. The movie starts with Clementine’s hair is blue, showing the start of their relationship and where they first meet in Montauk. Throughout the movie Clementine’s hair colour changes expressing the several different stages of her and Joel’s relationship.
The movie follows their relationship as it progresses through time showing bits throughout their multiple relationships with each other, jumping between the past and the present as Joel’s memories of Clementine are erased. Their futile and fragile relationship being explored through a nonlinear story where they both try to erase each other from their memories but being unable to truly erase the feelings that they share for each other. The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a story of two lovers who come to know each other in multiple ways.
