Happy or happy?

There is another station under the heaven and above the human world, where people choose a segment that they most want to keep in their minds in their lives. The staff of this station will take the segment into a short film and store it in your brain. Other memories will be deleted. .

The thinking presented in the film alone is very interesting: when you choose a memory that you think is the most memorable one, what do you choose? What is really worth keeping? Judging from the choices of several people in the film, "happiness" is usually their last choice. Happiness and happiness are always confused at the beginning. The so-called happiness is usually chosen by people first, and it is stimulating and instantaneous. For example, a little girl chooses "Disneyland" first, and a man chooses the moment of sex (and thinks men will choose this). But when they were really sure, they all changed their minds: The girl chose a sunny Sunday, and she watched the washed white shirt float in the wind, resting on her mother's lap, breathing her mother's breath. And that man chose the section where a prostitute fed him porridge when he was sick. What do people need? When pursuing the happiness that instant stimulation gives him, is that happiness really what he needs? In the end, I still find that a warm and ordinary afternoon is happier than any happiness. Security and destination are what people really need.

After Life quotes

  • Kenji Yamamoto, who wants to forget his past: Say I choose a memory, from when I was eight or ten years old. Then I'll only remember how I felt back then? I'll be able to forget everything else? Really? You can forget? Well, then that really is heaven.
