Can we un-learn something..

Just finished this movie- Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Theme explores a perceived troubled relationship and a fictitious  possibility of unlearning the past memories good and bad about it. Prima facie, the concept looks to be interesting and what is more intense is the fact, the more you romanticize with the idea of eliminating or being consciously forgetting certain events which are emotional, you tend to get more and more intertwined in them.
Such is the nature of human psyche. Most people get this trouble with answering the question which is the most important one.
ARE YOU SURE?
This cannot be answered in white and black. Of course the rational process of answering the same is weighing the pros and cons, but in personal relation context the answer must be influenced with instincts. Yes and this is some rationale attached to it.
So the way entire film is arranged is true art. Fragments of memories- incidences; some of them very intense and intimate. Those which can be understood only by experiencing, just like meditation. I can just describe how it feels but can never make you understand.
p.s.- You can just nod the head that you understand but in real you don't have a clue about it.
