Existentialism

                                    Existentialism is when you believe you have no reason in life that humans have no meaning. That you only live life when you find that purpose in your life to live. When you live every minute to the fullest and live your life like if your going to die. Existentialists also believe there is no god that you make your own decisions. You are responsible for your actions and you are to blame for what happens to you. Also when you understand that some things have no answer. Just because there is no purpose in life shouldn't mean you should live life without purpose. That there is no predetermined nature and that you are free to act independently.

                                The movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind" is a existentialist movie because it goes with what existentialism is about.  One of the quotes I like that is very existentialist is when one of  the main characters  Clementine Kruczynski says "Im always anxious thinking I'm not living my life to the fullest, you know? Taking advantage of every possibility? Just making sure that I'm not wasting one second of the little time I have". This is how existentialist think that there going to die anyway so they have to at least find a purpose in living. Like Clementine in the movie enjoys her life and does things without the fear of death like when she went to the frozen river. She also says" I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a fucked up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind". Many people try to find meaning through someone else but in reality everyone is alone and you have to find a purpose in life. In the movie the main character Joel notices that he messed up and wants to just erase Clementine from his memory but in the end he realizes he is responsible and that you can't fix things because you choose what you wanted to do like he chose to talk to Clementine and decided to be with her.
