Are we all tired of memory?

One question, please answer quickly: "Are you willing to be a good person or a bad person?"
I'm afraid most people will choose the former.

why?
First, we believe that good people bear less moral pressure and are more likely to gain social respect.
Second, we may think that choosing a good person or a bad person has the same difficulty in obtaining benefits.
Third, when we answered this question, we assumed ourselves as a blank sheet of paper.

Then change the question, please answer after thinking: "Are you willing to continue to be a good person or a bad person?"
I am afraid that most people will find it difficult to answer this question.

why?
One, we cannot simply judge ourselves as good or bad.
Second, we cannot predict whether there will be anything in the future that will cause us to give up the moral standards we currently hold.
Third, even if we want to change ourselves, or become better or worse, will our past experience and the memory in our brain allow and indulge us to do so?


The birth of a person means the beginning of the divergence of infinite possibilities, and the death of a person means the convergence and fixation of infinite possibilities to one point. And during this journey of life, we are not completely free.
Our memory reveals what we did in the past, what we do now, and our plans for the future are all determined on the basis of memory as a cornerstone.


So what is the choice of the hero in the film after losing his memory?

When he lost his memory completely, he only wanted to survive, that is, to escape from the closed chamber.

When I found the woman’s name engraved on the lighter and recalled that I was a kidnapper, I asked Coles "How can you be so sure we're gonna like what we have when we get out of this place?", and the other party answered "The choices After we make from here on out of this shit hole, that's what's gonna define us", he decided to escape as a good man.

Recalling that as the kidnapper Woz fought with the hostages in the secret room, he thought that at least the boss could keep the hostages' lives.

Recalling that after his divorce and bereavement, he felt a sense of smashing in his heart.

After recalling that he was an undercover policeman, he fought desperately with the hostages and the kidnappers.

When recalling that he was the planner of the entire kidnapping incident and had an improper relationship with Coles' wife, he finally chose "just do what we have to do" and closed his eyes.

    The film has two key points, one is why amnesia, the chemical substance. One is that people will not trust who is the bad person and who is the good person. Coupled with two external conditions, there is a gun and someone will come

    There is no memory, there is no truth, the film is not very brain-burning, and a sentence from Coles summarizes the theme [he is bound, we are not bound, which means that we are not with them]. From the beginning, it is certain that the man in handcuffs is definitely not a good person, so the man with eyes tied together is also a kidnapper, and there is only one of the three left. Who is the most likely? That must be the [intuition] who woke up first. I didn't expect the ending, but I still felt that something was missing.
