She is gradually losing all her memories, her name is, age is, even the person she loved...
- "The Eraser in My Mind" "Eraser"
saw in an article that the memory of fish is only 7 seconds, and after 7 seconds, it will be a reincarnation of another life. After 7 seconds, forget the sound, color, light and shadow of the past, and re-invest in a new world to settle down. But no one knows whether the fish is happy or not, and if it has a choice, whether it is really willing to forget that it passed by another fish 7 seconds ago, and is willing to give up the familiar pond and country that it used to play in 7 seconds ago. In the same way, no one knows the moment when Xiuzhen traveled between remembering and forgetting, watching the bustling scenery and the light that seems to be true and illusory, watching the old days settle into a wisp of smoke, everything is like that Familiar but so unfamiliar, whether her heart is still as calm as ever. In those days, Xiuzhen was walking in the room where Zhezhu had pasted small notes for her, alone, dragging a long shadow, like a beautiful fish, wandering silently.
Human memory is a very strange carrier. Often, the more you want to forget, the less you will forget it, and the more you want to remember, the less clear it becomes. So, sometimes, starting over may be the best option. Just like the line in "Evil and Poison in the West" said: The biggest trouble of people is that their memory is too good. If you can forget everything, every day in the future will be a new beginning. How much do you think it is? happy.
Many people are looking for a cure for forgetting, and it seems that happiness can really start from forgetting. And forgetting really seems to be more difficult than remembering, just as the end is more exciting than the beginning. Despite this, I still love this story about remembering, and the heart-piercing romance and tenderness of this scene about remembering and forgetting in the vast crowd. Director Lee Jae-han's camera is soothingly and fluidly aimed at the two people in the story. When the confused Xiuzhen forgot her wallet and Coke at the convenience store, and then turned to look for it, she bumped into a homeless person. She stared at him with Coke in his hand, Thinking that he stole her Coke, she snatched the can in Zhezhu's hand in a fit of anger, drank it upside down, and hiccupped in a hiccup. Later, when she saw the convenience store clerk returning her things to her, she suddenly realized that she had misunderstood the sloppy stranger just now. Then, on the second meeting, she thought that Cheol-soo didn't remember her, but Cheol-soo suddenly snatched the coke she just took out of the vending machine and drank it, and imitated Xiuzhen and hit one too Very loud hiccup.
...
The movie goes from a hopeless waiting train station to a cozy and convenient hut. The camera silently connects the encounters of two strange men and women. Fate and the picture echo each other, and the warmth at that moment is so wonderful. Word.
However, the countless pencils in the handbag of the forgetful Soo-jung had already laid the groundwork for the story, and although she and him finally got married, Cheol-soo had also been admitted to the architect from an unknown carpenter. The married life filled the empty cabin with warmth and happiness. Xiuzhen's innocence and kindness made Zhezhu slowly understand that there are many things in this world that need to be tolerantly faced. However, slowly, Xiuzhen's original bad memory became worse and worse, and she even forgot what had just happened in a flash, and even the way home became unfamiliar, from Xiuzhen's bizarre behavior to pretending With two full meals but no lunch box, Cheol-soo discovers that something is wrong with Soo-jung. The doctor answered his confusion. She has a very rare disease - Alzheimer's disease (1), the memory in front of her will disappear the next day, and if it continues, she will even forget about her Whether the person is a raving lover or a strange visitor. She has been to beautiful places in her life, and she has also been drunk with her loved ones, but when what she should have remembered has turned into oblivion, the meaning of life turned out to be desolate and desolate.
Xiuzhen asked Zhezhu in pain: "Did you hear those words?"
"What?" Zhezhu said softly.
"Say I have an eraser in my head. Let's break up." Xiuzhen said sadly, with trembling shoulders.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'll forget everything in no time. I don't even know why you're with me. You'll disappear from my mind. I'll disappear too! Do you understand me? If the memory disappears , the soul will disappear too! I am afraid... I am afraid..."
"Why does the soul disappear? Let me take care of it, you know? I am your memory, your soul." Zhezhu comforted Xiuzhen .
Yes, as memory disappears, so does the soul. Tears blur the love in the past and the vagueness now. Xiuzhen and Zhezhu, lovers at the end of the peaceful and prosperous world, like butterflies blurred in the wind and dust, looking for the freedom of love in the gap between remembering and forgetting, they have no eternity, There is no tomorrow to stay. They love each other, but the memory keeps them from being together.
"Xiuzhen, forget other things, just don't forget that I love you."
"Xiuzhen thinks Zhezhu's words, and allows unconditional phone calls."
In order to delay the fading of Xiuzhen's memory, the notes written by Zhezhu hang all over their room. Supplemented by beautiful images and beautiful music, sadness spreads slowly. The old doctor who spent his whole life for Alzheimer's disease said that three days before his wife died, he took her to the place where they first met, and she remembered everything, and he thought she was all right. But the ending but death. And Xiuzhen and Zhezhu, they tried to stick to the memory of each other's love, but everything seemed so powerless.
Because she couldn't have memories, Xiuzhen decided to run away from home in order not to make her lover sad. It was only much later that she wrote a letter to Cheol-soo, she told him. "...The Coke I stole from you at the convenience store was... Coca-Cola. The first kiss was at the pub at Hongik University, and the one who proposed first was... me. See? I remember it well. Don't worry about me. I'm praying, just don't forget the memories we loved..."
…
I will love you forever. Such lyrics also appear in Whitney's old love songs. Although, so many people have preferred to choose to forget. And how can I describe such a film about remembering and forgetting? Express it in words or words? Or just watch it again in silence. Maybe, when I try to write a line of words at the moment of remembering and forgetting, some memories have slipped away quietly, but I know that although the complicated life and the depressing rain are destined to wash our dreams and reality, we still Can't get rid of the trouble of how to choose to remember and forget.
The movie is not just about the description of forgetting. In the flood of memory, in fact, each of us is walking on the edge of remembering and forgetting, even if it is just some dreams, sadness, separation and hometown, rain every year. And the appearance of youth has already changed. In "Dong Xie Xi Du", when you can't have it, the only thing you can do is to keep yourself from forgetting. I don't know when it started, and I slowly indulged in the subtle memories, but when the time that was impossible to have anymore hurried away, I realized that the words and pictures that I tried to keep them turned out to be just a boat and a sword. It turned out that in the empty life, we can't record it completely no matter what, and the trance that flashes through is nothing but self-sufficient desolation.
Time is no more, but, fortunately, there are still a few surviving memories that allow us to return to the old places we have been to, holding the hand of the separated lover to point the stars, the sky and the tall poplar trees are still recording With our story, engrave the shadows we once left, and the love that shatters into pieces.
The last shot of the film is of Soo-jung and Cheol-soo sitting in the car, which drives into the distance.
The eraser can erase the writing on the diary, but it cannot erase the imprints that have already penetrated the back of the paper. Although the fish has 7 seconds of memories, the important thing is that as long as we are still together for the next 7 seconds, we still have new memories to remember.
Maybe, this is the gift that memories give us, if we forget, but at least we have cried together, laughed together, and visited those beautiful places together. If we forget it too, but as long as the memory of this moment is still with the people who love each other by our side, the appearance of happiness will also wander in our empty minds...
Repost note:
I finished reading this that day. The movie, tears wet my face several times. How many people can experience the pain of losing memory?
When the woman said her ex-boyfriend's name to the man and said I love you, I saw the man's tears after he went out. I know his heart was bleeding at that time, but he still had to smile at the woman and say, I love you too. It feels like drowning, hopeless and nowhere to go.
How lucky we are to have memories. How lucky we are that we can keep ourselves from forgetting important people and things.
That sentence is really good: although the fish has 7 seconds of memories, the important thing is that as long as we are still together for the next 7 seconds, we still have new memories to remember.
