![]() ![]() ![]() 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. He makes it feel very safe as far as improvising and things like that.The movie starts with Clementine’s hair is blue, showing the start of their relationship and where they first meet in Montauk. That's where the character came from, literally five minutes before we went out there and it just blossomed from there. I said, “It's not that guy anymore.” They put this mustache on and it was all the elements of the character before, but they had been altered in a way and I said, “It's not the guy anymore.” Brad came into the trailer and said, “What do you mean? Who is it? Who is it?” And I just started speaking like the guy who belonged to the hair. I had an Italian accent, it was all worked out - a character named Stefano - and they put the wig on me in the makeup chair like five minutes before they were going to test this character and the wig had changed. One of the characters.we were planning on doing a completely different character. To me, it's just an opportunity to have fun just throwing on disguises. I thought it was a really original voice. They asked me to read these books and I did. That bike showed up in the movie without me even, in the scene where the rain starts and I start trying to bring her back to when I grew up in the memories.ĭid you know much about the books before taking the role? No, I didn't. A friend of mine put my name in to a sporting goods store and I won the bike. I won a green Mustang bike in a raffle I didn't enter two weeks later. Two weeks later I won a green - I didn't ask for a green bike - but a Mustang bike. So, I went home and I prayed to the Virgin Mary for a bicycle - for a green, Mustang bike. I'm sitting in the back of the class going, Hmm. Of course, I was pouring a lot of what I've gone through into it as much as I could, but things like when I was in the second grade, I had a teacher who came into school and she was an Irish lady who said, If I pray to the Virgin Mary and ask for anything I want, she gives me anything I want. If you could revisit your childhood like you do in the movie, which place would you like to see? What was interesting during the movie was that these psychic things were happening. ![]()
