Love is out of memory

When the memory is erased, where will love be recorded? If the person you love forgets about you every day, are you willing to touch her with your love every day and let her fall in love with you again? When the soulful ending song of the film "Fifty First Loves" directed by Peter Siegel sounded, these two questions were always circling in my mind.

The story takes place on a small island in Hawaii. The funny and cheerful sunny boy Henry is an aquarium researcher. At breakfast, he met a beautiful and lovely girl Lucy. He helped her build a small house with bread, and fell in love with the owner of the small house; and Lucy also fell in love with Henry's fishy smell. When they broke up after breakfast, they made an appointment to have breakfast together the next day. However, when Henry walked towards Lucy the next day, he was surprised to find that Lucy no longer knew him. It turned out that Lucy suffered from an extremely rare short-term memory loss after a car accident. When she wakes up every morning, she will forget everything from the previous day. Her memory stays forever the day before the car accident.

If you love someone, she can't share the memory of love with you, and she doesn't even know you anymore-this is undoubtedly a cruel love, or, such love shouldn't happen. However, it was the encounter that made the affectionate Henry act astonishing. Thus, a struggle between love and illness began. Every day, he met Lucy in different ways, then met, then touched her heart, and then fell in love. At night, Lucy forgot him again, and the next day he started again... Finally, Henry recorded the life scenes of him and Lucy, and let Lucy watch the tape every morning to know what happened after she lost her memory; let her Knowing that he was her boyfriend-later, her husband.

In the end, Lucy's memory has not been completely restored. However, a love that seems to be unable to escape the cruel fate is interpreted as a light comedy with tears and laughter in a romantic atmosphere-an unforgettable love, neither of them can give up, so they have something different Romance, every day is a fresh love, every day is the first love, every time is the first kiss. Every scene in the movie, every line is with relaxed and warm humor and optimism. After people knowingly smile, they feel the great warmth from love in their hearts.

In the film, in order to continue the love, Lucy uses a diary to write down the events of the day every day, so as to integrate Henry into her past. But in fact, we know that what really continued her love was neither the video nor the diary, but the deepest part of Lucy's life-a place where memory can't reach-leaving traces of true love that cannot be erased.

    The old-fashioned amnesia story is more beautiful than the Hong Kong-made amnesia boyfriend. I don’t know how many times the story tells the beauty. The story is renewed and refreshed. There are tears in the smile. All women admire fogetable Lucy. It’s that she will always forget 2006, 1

    People who wander in happy love may find it attractive, and those who like actors and actresses may find it attractive. And the appearance of the hero and heroine is not my thing, and this kind of love story can't touch me anyway, I feel so boring~
