When the memory is gone, the soul is left

"Eraser in My Head" obviously conjures up a story about memory. I also have a bad memory, so I'm curious about this movie.

The first half of the story is beautiful, the princess and the beggar can be happily married. And later, the beggar also turned into a prince who was a good match for the princess. Their lives are sweet. Seeing this, I was thinking that the story will not always be so beautiful, and it will definitely show its cruel side next.

Sure enough, one day, the princess found that her memory was gradually fading, and she realized that she had Alzheimer's disease. Her memory will disappear little by little quickly, and slowly she will be able to write and even the simplest things such as dressing. Naturally, the whole world would also become unfamiliar to her.

After he found out, he still didn't give up on her, even though she even forgot about him, calling his ex-boyfriend's name to him, because the memory disappeared from the recent beginning.

Until one day, her memory of him is magically briefly awakened, and she leaves their home with a love letter. At the end of the film, he found the hospital where she was recuperating and saw her. She has no memory of him, but she has drawn many sketches about him, from the initial vivid depiction to the end with only a few strokes left, and even the outline cannot be clearly seen. This kind of feeling is like a person in the sea looking at a lighthouse in the distance and flickering faintly, but with the impact of the waves, you will get farther and farther from the light, until the light finally disappears in the dark maritime.

Although there is no lack of sadness in the film, the ending of this story is still beautiful, just like the pure Son Yezhen in it. At the end of the story, she left the hospital accompanied by a nurse, and then she walked into the convenience store they knew, where she saw him and her closest relatives. She asked with a smile: "Is this heaven"? This reminds me of the "Heavenly Station" that Jiechen mentioned, "Between the world and the kingdom of heaven, there is an institution where people who pass by can stay for a week. This week, the staff in the agency kept doing ideological work for people, asking everyone to choose a beautiful memory in this life, and then videotaping, like filming a movie, set up a good scene and play it. Light, prepare the props and try to restore the scene of the memory as much as possible; the video tape was finally shown to everyone on Sunday. After watching it, the body completely disappeared, the soul soared, and entered the kingdom of heaven. In the future, in the days of the kingdom of heaven, this memory will be always accompany".

I think this clip in the convenience store is the best memory in her life that she chose to accompany her to live in the kingdom of heaven.
