Ah yes, I remember that interview, it's really good to think that DH could share parallels with Eternal Sunshine. He's spot on with the 'morally gray' aspect of the whole thing, I mean constnatly re-creating identity through memory-erasing could be argued to be a form of 'cheating', of bypassing the harsh realities of life..

Whedon: Eternal Sunshine, it's that same sort of idea of "What about our relationships is real, and what is just what we're projecting?" And that's really ... this whole [thing] revolves around the idea of what we expect from each other, what we believe about ourselves, and how all of that can be torn apart, and how you can build, from scratch, your own identity. So it's very dark and very morally gray. yeah, there was this nice interview where he adressed that: http://www.scifi.com/sfw/interviews/sfw18953.html
