A. CONTECT
Watch the film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004) directed by
Michael Gondry”. If you have not seen it before, you may want to watch the movie
once, and then watch it a second time to write notes, find specific examples, etc.
Reflect upon the movie in relation to what you have read and what we have. Specifically, analyze the
characters, plot, certain scenes, and/or ending of your chosen movie using at least two psychological
theories, concepts, or approaches covered in the textbook. Make sure to give a brief description of the
scene/s or the person/s you will be referring to for each concept/theory/approach you discuss. Include
your own perceptions and insights about the story, the characters, and human psychology and relations
in general. Other psychological concepts not discussed in class or in the textbook may be used as long as
those concepts/literature are applied well in the analysis and cited correctly.
