Analyze the relationship of these two films to each other, paying particular attention to their endings. How does Eternal Sunshine hearken back to classical Hollywood comedies like It Happened One Night, and how does it revise/challenge/reimagine them? You might compare and contrast the films’ couples (Ellie and Peter vs. Clementine and Joel), the structure of the films, the use of comedy, narrative ambiguity vs. closure, etc.
