Ariana Grande further solidifies the inspiration she took from “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004) in “We Can’t Be Friends.”
Ariana Grande’s music video for the second single off of her new album “Eternal Sunshine,” both of which were released Friday, further solidifies the inspiration Grande took from mind-trip romance classic “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004) starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
In the video, Grande stars as Peaches, who sits in the waiting room of Brighter Days Inc. and fills out release paperwork to have the memories of her ex (played by Evan Peters) erased from her mind.
As Peaches gets set up with futuristic equipment to zap her brain clear of memories of Evan Peters, we see those memories flashing her back to happier moments spent with him — like when he won her a teddy bear in an arcade, they cuddled under bed sheets, made snow angels and kissed over candles on a birthday cake.
