Many people feel confused, confused and overwhelmed when they choose memory at the beginning. Our life is long or short, we remember more or less, but it is somewhat difficult to pick out a moment or a period of time. .
Some people will choose those bright, bright and happy times that first come to mind, but after the calm memories of time, they finally choose those warm and touching memories. Just like the schoolgirl in the movie, she initially chose the memories of playing in Disneyland, but finally chose the warm time when she was with her mother. After all, the momentary joy could not equal the long-term warm heart.
In the movie, Mr. Watanabe, who doesn't know how to choose, wants to find evidence that he has lived. His life is uneventful. Although his life is not very successful, he works diligently in a company until he retires, and stays with his wife until old age. , I am full of confidence in my life, I think I am very happy in my own way, but looking back at this life, I seem to be missing something, a normal education, a normal job, a normal marriage, a normal retirement job, what They are all ordinary, just ordinary, like most of the ordinary people in this world who have no characteristics. After reviewing the videotape of his life, Mr. Watanabe finally chose the memory of sitting and chatting with his wife on a bench in Central Park in his later years, and chose the person who accompanied him for most of his life, even if it was an ordinary life. , there will be such a person's appearance and company will warm the rest of your life.
There is also Mr. Mochizuki, a staff member of the workstation, because he could not make a choice within the deadline, he has been working in the workstation since his death from the war wounds, until at work, he accidentally learned that his fiancee before participating in the war, he chose The most important memory is about himself. Realizing that his appearance and existence also warmed her time and became a part of her happiness, he let go and decided to go back to his life on the bench in the workstation studio. of this memory and leave. Perhaps the meaning of life is that your presence and presence also warms the time of others.
After the movie was over, I tried to ask myself, if it were me, what memory would I choose, and I was happy for a third of my life, as if I had done nothing, and seemed to have done a lot. A seemingly carefree but unwilling to recall childhood, from elementary school, junior high school, high school to university, follow the steps step by step, although the grades are not outstanding but passable, and the student life has not done anything too outrageous or earth-shattering. , everything is ordinary and ordinary. Sometimes, I'm really afraid that I will eventually become Mr. Watanabe in the movie. The so-called continuous efforts are not because of love, or because of unwillingness.
Maybe it’s nature, the memories that pop up in my mind, whether happy or sad, behind those memories always remind me of some past that I don’t want to mention, the sadness behind, the hidden sadness, that can’t be erased The guilt is what I can't forget. Many times, adults will take it for granted that we have forgotten, but in fact, we just can't remember the complete, but there are some clips that we can't forget, and the images will be blurred, but at that time That feeling does not fade away with the passage of time.
I think, if the person who went there was me now, it would be difficult for me to make a choice. It’s not that I don’t want to choose, nor that I can’t choose, but I’m afraid to choose to forget and be forgotten by others, no matter if this life is good or bad, Ordinary or bizarre, these are my unique and exclusive memories, and I don't want or want to choose only one of them and erase the rest.
If it was you who went there now, what choice would you make, and which memory would you choose to accompany you to the kingdom of heaven?
