Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind

This morning I woke late and decided to look through a few DVD titles I have. I settled on Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind.
It is a strange story of a less than normal girl meeting a quiet reserved guy and falling in love. During the course of their relationship they hit a rocky road and Kate Winslets character decides to get her memories of her boyfriend erased by a medical procedure. Her boyfriend goes to her work to make peace and she does not recognise him. He leaves confused and his best friends tell him that she had all memories of him erased. He considers the procedure himself and undergoes the process
The next morning he impulsively misses work and goes to the beach where they met and the both meet again, as strangers
The story is about all the memories he shares of her and how they slip though his fingers and how he fights against the process while unconscious.
In my opinion memories of relationships in success or failure make up who we are. All the bad memories as well as the good ones.
How does it end? It ends oddly. He just says okay and then the story fades out with a fading memory of them playing on the beach. So how does it end? well that I think is up to individual interpretation.
