So often we think of Manic Pixie Dream Girls as being fun, quirky girls that are afraid of commitment but still drag along boys into their crazy worlds of fantasy, but that's not really what the trope is. In this video, I explore the trope and the deconstruction of it in one of my favorite movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
