My Final Research Paper Game Plan

 During the next two weeks, I need to work on finishing my paper with two more body paragraphs and my conclusion. I also need to find at least one more source about new treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to include in my last two body paragraphs. I would need to improve my paraphrasing sentences and write MLA citations correctly.

Close Reading of Film Stills in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

In this first film still Joel Barish is going under the first step of the procedure of Dr. Meirzwiak takes upon patients whom suffer post-traumatic stress due to remembering awful memories or hurtful experiences. He tells Joel to tell him about the relationship of his with Clementine since the beginning while he takes notes and listens to Joel speak. While Joel is continuing to tell Dr. Meirzwiak about the relationship the doctor is getting him prepare for the next step of erasing his memories with Clementine. Dr. Meirzwiak tells Joel there is an emotional core to each of our memories when you retract that core each of our memories start to dissolve, every memory specific with her will no longer be there; dream upon waking.  The director made a clear sense that though erasing memories can be done in three quick steps, he gives the picture that the patient Joel should first be able to talk to the doctor and understand the process in which he will need to pass in order to forget Clementine. The director gives an important point that patients should be heard out first in order to achieve erasing the awful memories of theirs.

In this second film still Joel Barish is now put into the last step of the procedure where the technician who now is monitoring Joel's dream state while being in deep sleep is erasing effectively the memories of Clementine. The director puts into sense the point of easily erasing memories, by monitoring the patient's in deep sleep when in reality it may not be that easy.
