Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
When choosing a movie, I thought it was going to be a dark comedy but I soon found out it has a sci-fi twist to it. A free spirited woman, Clementine, and an awkward man, Joel, fall in love but after a bad fall out, they choose to erase each other from their memories with a new form of technology. The procedure takes an abnormal course when Joel decides he doesn't want to forget about Clementine. This movie takes you back in time through a course of events that made the couple fall in love in the first place.
Dramatic Irony:
While the deteriorating romance of the main characters occurs, another story happens on the side. A woman who works at the front desk of the memory removal company is in love with the man who discovered the memory removal procedure. When she reveals her love to him with a passionate kiss, the man's wife happens to be watching. In disgust, the wife tells the young woman from the front desk that she already had her husband to begin with. At this point, the viewer watching the movie realizes that the procedure was done on the young lady to forget about her love for her boss. This makes the scene very dramatic because the woman is terribly confused which leads to extreme actions later on.
