You can feel it in virtually every social drama you care to mention, from Ken Loach to Kelly Reichardt. Much of contemporary sci-fi cinema tends to dwell on the more frightening aspects of technology and its consequences on a large scale. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, director Michael Gondry and writer Charlie Kaufman wanted top movies to focus on the relationship between Clementine and Joel , strangers who meet on a train to Montauk, New York, and fall helplessly in love.
