This is not a movie with climax, and even many people would not like such a messy, even plain narrative.
But what I like the most is precisely this part, because she leaves us too much space to imagine ourselves. People need such space and time to find who you are. It is an extravagant hope to live again, which is unrealistic. Fantasy, so it can’t be expressed or portrayed. It’s just a feeling. Yes, it’s a feeling that the brain forgets but your fingers remember it, just like when you are old and the one you love is no longer there. , But when you make her favorite dish, sitting alone at a long table in a daze, you may not find that tears have flowed into your heart mixed with vegetables.
She lived again, the memory stopped abruptly in front of everything. Facing a strange husband, she felt terrified and could not accept the strange way of life. I have been trying to get into McAdams’ perspective. If this happens, What would I do. I silently observed that she worked hard, she tried to integrate into a strange life, but she couldn't do it, so everything went back to the starting point of her memory.
People always like to say that if God gives me another chance to choose again, I will avoid too many stupid things. But when God gives you the opportunity to choose again, it will also deprive you of your memory after choosing. Therefore, you will still make the same choice, because that is you.
I like this story very much, not only because it is a true story, it also carries a philosophical sense of self-seeking. Some people say that this is a film with a little bit of blood and does not require IQ. I can’t agree with it. That’s why I want to write down what I said.
What makes my heart tremble violently throughout the movie is that McAdams said: "You just accepted who I am, instead of making me the me you want." I want to give this sentence to all people in love. Don't always try to change her/him or yourself, because who you are is the reason you love each other.
