MAJOR INCITING STORY INCIDENT: One of my favorite films, Eternal sunshine of the spotless Mind, has an amazing storyline. Everything is so ambiguous, and you actually have to watch the movie to understand it. if you look away for a few seconds you will be lost. that is what I love about this movie.

The inciting incident is one of my favorite parts, and the main idea of the movie. Jims character had met a girl in the beginning of the movie, and the first 15 minutes are them happening to go to the same places. getting off the train at the same stops. then it cuts to a shot of Jim crying, so obviously something had happened. The inciting incident is when Jim finds out his girlfriend erased her memory of him, and Jim starts to go crazy. this one event starts the whole conflict of the play, to is the point at where all the characters cannot turn back, which id the definition of the initial incident.
