Remember in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when Joel goes back to one of his earliest memories--that of being bathed in a sink? That scene always stayed with me. It's such a seemingly trivial, everyday act, but it calls me, and seeing it in that film made me realize that I'm not the only one with a lingering memory of it.
