Abstract
The turmoil surrounding the ending of a relationship is universal. For this reason t is well-covered territory in popular culture. Tales of heartbreak and reconciliation are a staple of the Hollywood film industry. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) and happy together (1997) both describe conventional situation using unconventional narrative styles. eternal sunshine, directed by music video director Michael Gondry, uses science fiction and the idea of memory loss to convey the upheaval in the relationship between its protagonists Joel and Clementine. happy together also utilizes memory, through the use of voice over narration, in its more realist portrayal of Lai Yiu-fai and Ho Po-wing. Both of these films center on the alienation common to most breakups; one feels disconnected from one's former partner and potentially the environment around oneself. The overall narratives both seem a bit off kilter, due to the editing and lighting as well as unconventional casting, which highlights the theme of disconnection.
