film producers have always taken interest in depicturing the alternative worlds of particular kinds and types. We might consider as a good example the techniques in which the contrast worlds are being embodied in Michel Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind, and how, in that film, main character Joel Barish attempts to regulate his memories and not let them be vanished.

It was June 2011 and I was sitting next to my mom on a plane on route to the Bahamas. As the flight attendant finished her safety procedures she stated that movies would be accessible on the monitor in our seats.
