What's left behind the scenes
- The title of the film is borrowed from Alexander Pope's poem "Eloisa to Abelard" (1714). The same poem was used by Charlie Kaufman when creating his earlier project "Being John Malkovich" (1999).
- Nicolas Cage was very interested in the role of Joel, but Jim Carrey ultimately landed it.
- The company specializing in memory erasure is called "Lacuna Inc." The word Lacuna has Latin origins and means a gap or omission. It is also worth noting that the term "lacunar infarct" refers to an infarct where a small part of the brain becomes responsible for performing a specific function (particularly, memory).
- The idea for the plot came to Michel Gondry after a conversation with artist Pierre Bismuth, who suggested the following: Early in the morning, you open your mailbox and receive the following message: "The person you knew has just erased you from their memory…"
- All of the scenes in the train were filmed in actual, moving train cars. No sets were used.
- The opening credits don't begin until the 18th minute of the film.
- The nurse Mary's last name does not appear in the final credits, but if you watch the film carefully, you can spot a frame where she can be recognized. Her last name is Svevo. It was chosen not by chance, in honor of the Italian writer Italo Svevo (1861-1928), who was actively interested in the works of Sigmund Freud and believed he had corresponded with the philosopher.
- The original version of the film included a scene of Joel and his ex-girlfriend Naomi's (Ellen Pompeo) last night together, but it did not make it into the final cut.
- The actors were allowed to improvise during filming, which they happily took advantage of.
- The computer used in the procedures is called the Amstrad PPC (portable personal computer). This model was considered very popular in the early 1990s.
- In the scene taking place in Joel’s mind, where the protagonist observes the memory erasure process, two Joels can be seen in the frame simultaneously. Interestingly, this scene was filmed without the use of special effects; a quick-change trick was employed.
- During an unplanned scene at a street parade, reporters tried to interview Jim Carrey. If you listen closely, you can hear a shout from the crowd, “Talk to me,” directed at Jim.
- Initially, during the train scene, music was planned for the pauses in conversation. However, the filmmakers found it more interesting to do the opposite: music plays when the characters are talking, and falls silent during awkward pauses.
- Michel Gondry asked Mark Ruffalo to hide and scare Kirsten Dunst during the filming of one of the scenes. The trick worked, and Kirsten screamed like crazy. A bed scene with these same actors was also filmed, but ultimately cut from the film to reduce the runtime.
- Michel Gondry developed a unique camera control system that he actively used during filming. He allowed the actors to act as they pleased, but directed the operators, each of whom was equipped with headphones through which they could hear the director's instructions. Michel himself remained at a distance, only monitoring the picture transmitted from the cameras. Thus, the actors were given some freedom in expressing their emotions, as no one was standing over them. Kate Winslet admitted that she enjoyed this experiment, which allowed her to more vividly portray Clementine.
- Almost all of the film's special effects are non-computerized. The secrets of the filming are revealed on the DVD version of the film.
- The shots of the elephant parade were not prepared specifically; Kate saw it out the window, and she and the entire cast and crew ran to film the parade.
- Michel Gondry's favorite moment in the film was the scene with Clementine's sudden disappearance. Jim Carrey was unaware of this, and so when Kate Winslet disappears, Jim's face shows genuine fear and incomprehension.
- The idea for the plot came to Michel Gondry after a conversation with artist Pierre Bismuth, who suggested the following: Early in the morning, you open your mailbox and receive the following message: 'Someone you knew has just erased you from their memory…'
- The opening credits begin only at the 18th minute of the film.
- The surname of nurse Mary never appears in the end credits, however, if you watch the film carefully, you can notice a shot in which she can be recognized. This surname is Svevo. It was chosen for a reason, in honor of the Italian writer Italo Svevo (1861-1928), who was actively interested in the works of Sigmund Freud and believed he had managed to correspond with the philosopher.
- The actors were allowed to improvise during filming, which they happily did.
- Initially, during the train scene, the plan was to select music for pauses in the conversation. However, the filmmakers found it more interesting to do the opposite: the music plays when the characters are talking, and falls silent when an awkward pause occurs.
- Michel Gondry asked Mark Ruffalo to hide and scare Kirsten Dunst during the filming of one of the scenes. The prank worked, and Kirsten screamed like crazy. A bedroom scene with these same actors was also filmed, but ultimately cut from the film to reduce the runtime.
