Chaotic, not cherishing life, dark heart

IS A Memory System for Human Storing and Retrieving Information, Information that IS, of Course, acquried through Our Senses "(to Baddeley, 1997)
(translated) Human memory is a storage and retrieval system information collected sensory (Bade Ni , 1997)

memory iS AS a best viewed the SET of the Serving skills perception and Action (MacLeod, 1997)
(translated) memory skills as the best link between perception and behavior (Oder McRae, 1997).

in fact, the movie The disease described does exist.

About ten years ago, in a popular science program on CCTV, there was a detailed record of the life of a person with such amnesia. He is a British person, and his memory stays at the age of 16 and can only remember. Live within 5 minutes of what just happened. He carried a tape recorder with him, recorded what he was going to do, and listened to it if he forgets it; every night before going to bed, he would sort out what happened in the day according to the tape recorder. In the diary, after only ten years, his diary has been filled with several bookcases. He relied on his family, tape recorder, and his own diary, and worked hard to stick to his own life.

And lenny also got the same. He’s sick, but according to the screenwriter’s plan, he doesn’t cherish these memories:
He uses a very inefficient and inaccurate way to store his own memory (tattoos, notes, photos), and
he doesn’t write a diary. (It directly leads to him not knowing how he lived and what
he did), he even actively misleads himself (at the end of the film, he writes the license plate of the'police' who is not the murderer on the note, and records his own murder, and The photos that record the truth are burned)

All these only show a chaotic, lifeless, dark heart, and his final self-misleading, for a person with such an amnesia disease, is no different from suicidal behavior.

Perhaps in the eyes of the screenwriter, lenny is just'a high-performance CPU with 256K of memory and no hard disk'. It is a very interesting thing to design such a behavior for a person who does not know what he is doing, and then interspersed in reverse order. The sequential method and alternative editing methods will easily attract the attention of the audience.

But people are not computers. People have emotions. People are obsessed with the existence of life. Especially for people who have lost their memories, if they can record even a little more, they should be so precious. But from Lenny, you can't see this at all.

I still remember the situation when the British patient turned over his diary, box after box, and he cherished his hand stroking the diary, as if it were proof of his existence. After more than ten years, I was surprised that I still remembered this picture, and he was so obsessed with the existence of life.

After watching this movie, I saw lenny write down the suicidal sentence on the note. I was only disappointed, and I was fucked by the director again. I didn’t bother to think about the inexplicable details, and I didn’t want to touch the thought trap designed by the director, to imagine what the truth is that no one knows whether it exists. I only did one thing and took this film from mine. Hard disk, delete. . .

    Narrative methods worth studying. Black and white distinguish the two clues, chronologically arranged memories and fragmented life flashbacks alternate regularly, Sammy's virtual wife has a strong suspense, and at the end, the two clues are stitched together by developing a piece of polaroid paper from black and white to color. The truth then emerges, making people subversively review the logic of the story. Self-deception and forgetting the truth are the rootless state of existence in the current human belief crisis.

    Don't make you dizzy, it's not called a movie.

Memento quotes

  • [finding a beaten man in his closet]

    Leonard Shelby: ...who did this to you?

    Dodd: What?

    Leonard Shelby: Who did this to you?

    Dodd: You did.

  • Natalie: But even if you get revenge you're not gonna remember it. You're not even going to know that it happened.

    Leonard Shelby: My wife deserves vengance. Doesn't make a difference whether I know about it. Just becuase there are things I don't remember doesn't make my actions meaningless. The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it? Anyway, maybe I'll take a photograph to remind myself, get another freaky tattoo.
