Love is indeed one of the most indescribable things. Some people think that a skin is just one. Sub-appearance, some people don't know which of you I love deeply.
If asked about my favorite romance film, I would choose a somewhat special "Warm and Inner Light". It uses fantasy elements to discuss the philosophy of love: if the memory is erased, can we fall in love at first sight again?
Joel and Clementine in the movie are just a couple who can no longer be ordinary. From acquaintance to passionate love, it gradually became flat, and then began to argue, the love affair ended, the once goodness has been completely unrecognizable in my mind.
So, one after another, they chose to delete each other's memories from their brains. But two people who used to be so close can really alleviate the pain of breaking up by clearing their memories?
"You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story"
Scenes of memories flashed in Joel's mind: Clementine had red hair and the two were lying on the ice... When these memories were erased little by little, the beauty he experienced also appeared little by little. Joel finally began to awaken, and he desperately went with the memory shredder to snatch the pieces. However, once the program is started, it cannot be reverted.
Fortunately, the film gave us a glimmer of hope at the end. The two met again by the river, did they really forget each other? How could it be possible that what was deleted was only the memory, but the best part of love never came out of their hearts.
But if you think about it from another angle, when the memory of your lover is transplanted to another person, how would you choose?
"Ultra Brain 48 Hours" actually tells such a story in which Gal Gadot plays the wife of a CIA agent. Her husband died unexpectedly during another classified operation. In order to obtain important information that he investigated during his lifetime, the police department needed to transplant his memory.
And eligible for transplantation is an extremely dangerous serious criminal played by Kevin Costner. Since this transplant is the first time the technology has been applied to humans, no one knows what will happen.
After waking up, Kevin did not cooperate with the police to complete the investigation, but escaped from the hospital privately. It turned out that the operation was not completely successful, except for being transplanted into the detective's memory, his own memory was not completely erased.
Through memories, Kevin found the agent’s wife, Gail Gadot. The people in front of him and the familiar scenes in the room brought more memories to Kevin's heart. In his subconscious mind, he gradually recalled the beautiful and sweet past that had happened with Gale.
At the same time, the transnational criminals who killed the agents continued their actions. They kidnapped Gale and his daughter, and threatened Kevin to hand over the USB flash drive that controls the occurrence of the missile. This also forces Kevin to make a choice, whether to continue to be a villain, or to change his mind and save the world for his previous love.
Although the film focuses on science fiction and action elements, what attracts me most is the full emotional line between Kevin and the agent's wife.
For the wife, she just accepted the sad fact of her husband's death, and another person appeared in front of her with the memory of her husband. She doesn't know how to accept this "bad guy", but the box of memory has been opened, and all the strong pasts, all the evidence of living seriously for each other, are so clear. It seems that all morals and ethics should be put aside, just want to hug the most familiar him, even if his face is so strange.
For Kevin, he has forgotten that he was once a heinous bastard, and no matter how dangerous the criminals against him are, the only thing he cares about is the safety of his "wife". It is love that makes him redeem.
If the memory appears as another person, will you still be desperate? I believe everyone will have their own answers.
