Memory extraction viewing notes

Let’s outline the plot first (for some reason due to the subtitles of the online version):
The time of the start of the film is four years, two months, and two days when Tom was trapped in Antony’s memory. So all the things explained at this time, including the reason for being trapped in Antony's memory, are Tom's own memories. So at the beginning of the film, you will see Tom wandering through various memories of Antony, watching the scene of Antony and her murdered girlfriend together.
Turning point: When Tom wandered aimlessly in Antony's memory, he accidentally discovered that when he arrived at a certain memory, Antony was also recalling this memory, then Antony could see himself. (Does the plot that Antony runs over and over again looks like a Moonlight Treasure Box?) Based on this discovery, Tom sees a glimmer of life for his "resurrection".
Twists and turns: Antony and Tom reached an agreement to help him leave his memory, but temporarily changed his mind and asked Tom to help him figure out who killed his girlfriend.
Ending: In the end Antony still made the right choice before he died, helping Tom to wake up, HappyEnding, isn't it?
Reversal: In the last conversation with Antony's father, Tom saw that the picture of the puppy and the handwriting behind the photo were the same as the handwriting of the anonymous report of Antony. All previous conclusions were disintegrated and the ending was reversed.

The genre of the film is very novel, but it is easy to enter an endless loop if you go deep into the logic. At the beginning of the film, it was also mentioned that when it is similar to being brainwashed, the system cannot distinguish between true and false memories. This laid the foundation for the final climax-and this is indeed very tangled.

Because in fact, people's memory is often modified and beautified intentionally or unintentionally according to one's own subjective or external influence. Just like the poem "If life is only like first seeing", perhaps the first seeing is not perfect, but in the days and years afterwards, it will be processed and beautified to perfection, so there is "Meeting is worse than missing".
The ending of the film Antony raises a question. If you were a father, how would you choose when faced with this matter? ——In his heart, he is the son who loves himself so much.
I personally feel that the film is not inferior to the source code, and the logical flaws are less than the source code, but I don’t know why the score is poor.
Tucao the male protagonist, because of seeing Grimm too much, he thinks of the creatures who change faces when he sees it...

    The idea is good, the actor can, and his wife looks like Emma Watson. Maybe it's because I've watched too many reversal dramas, and I guessed who the murderer was when I saw half of it.
