Ariana Grande debuted the deluxe version of her album, "Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead," accompanied by a short film co-directed with Christian Breslauer. This project builds on her concept album inspired by the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," which explores themes of love and memory. The short film features various cinematic references, including a nod to Steven Spielberg and a memory machine resembling Cerebro from the 'X-Men' franchise, indicating Grande's artistic vision rooted in significant cinematic works.
Grande has described 'Eternal Sunshine' as a concept album, drawing liberally from Michel Gondry's 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.' The 2004 sci-fi film stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet as ill-matched lovers who decide to erase their memories of each other, arguably dooming themselves to a never-ending loop of heartbreak.
Much like the album itself, 'Brighter Days Ahead' is thematically and aesthetically influenced by Gondry's cult classic - as well as other significant moments in cinema.
Grande's short film features a string of movie references and an explicit shout-out to Steven Spielberg.
The memory machine bears an uncanny resemblance to Cerebro from the 'X-Men' franchise.
