I don't know how many people have amnesia in reality, but I can be sure that people suffer from amnesia in TV and movies. It's beyond imagination. Whenever the plot can't go on, someone will always jump out of amnesia to solve the dilemma. I often wonder if one day it is stipulated that screenwriters cannot use the bridges of amnesia and terminal illness, will many people run into the wall?
This movie is also about amnesia, and it is not general amnesia. The heroine Drew Barrymore suffered from a very rare short-term amnesia due to a car accident. Her memory only lasts until the day she was in the car accident. Every day, she will forget what happened the previous day. As a result, her life will always be frozen on that day, and she will repeat that day all her life. And the male protagonist Adam Sandler just met and fell in love with this woman with only one day of memory, one year after her amnesia.
This is why the movie is called "50 firt dates", because no matter how much she loves you on that day, when tomorrow comes, she will completely erase you from memory and treat you as a stranger. So you have to repeat it every day to make her fall in love with you again and again. The only advantage of this may be that you can try all the ways to strike up a conversation.
It is not discouraging. The feelings between the two are like Cinderella's crystal shoes. They will automatically be beaten back to their original form at 12 o'clock in the night, and they will never be born again. If you were Adam, how long would you insist on giving up?
Adam didn't give up, because the advantage of the movie is that all wonderful things can happen. No, it didn't make Drew regain his memory because of the power of love-this is what I admire the most about this movie. It was Adam, the man who persisted, and came up with a way. He asked all of Drew's family and friends to record a video with him. The content was just everyone explaining what happened to her. The video will be shown to Drew every day when she wakes up, so she can get the memory in the shortest time, and then they can have the rest of the whole day to enjoy love.
I am not sure if this works in reality, but I am willing to believe it works. Then there are not many men who are infatuated, and I don't want to see their love become a tragedy. Of course, this can't be a tragedy, you know, it was released on Valentine's Day last year. No one wants to walk out of the cinema crying on Valentine's Day.
Romantic and wonderful love stories have always happened in picturesque places. This time it was in Hawaii. I have to say it is really a good choice. What better thing to do besides love in this heavenly place? Sometimes I really doubt that it is not love that is unforgettable, but the place where love happens.
Anyway, this movie is not shoddy. Although the story’s imagination is rich and peculiar, but because of the meticulous and thoughtful details, not only there is no sense of bluntness, but the plot develops extremely smoothly. And when the movie ended, I was even more immersed in this beautiful adult fairy tale.
Do you still want your sweet first love to return? I still hope, just not too many times...
