Love memory and amnesia

It stands to reason that "50 First Loves" and "Blue Valentine's Day" are two movies that can't be played together. The former story is unique, romantic and warm, with constant joy, and more gratifying and happy ending; while the latter has a realistic story, turbulent, unstoppable, and a sad end. However, perhaps because the time between watching these two movies is not long, I always feel that the two movies show the reality of love and marriage from different angles. When happy is short and intermittent, when trouble is long and continuous, it does not It is absolutely related to the length of time, and more closely related to the intensity of selective memory of pain and pleasure between men and women in love and marriage. Therefore, touching comedies always make people happy at the time, while heartbreaking tragedies are boring. The three-day aftertaste, the emotions linger for a long time.

"50 First Loves" is also a comedy that is actually very realistic. A man spends a lot of time every day to experience his first love, to remind his beloved woman of his goodness. This is a kind of pain, but in the film it is again Show a kind of luck. It reveals the truth that first love is always the sweetest, and the two of them didn't even have time to discover each other's shortcomings and quarrel. One day has passed. When the woman falls asleep again, it will be another sweet first love. And when the woman forgets what happened yesterday and "remembered" from the videotape, all she saw was the best time in the past. Therefore, she was also lucky. She enjoyed the sweetness and sweetness of the present sweetly. Looking back on the sweetness of the past, this is called living in a honeypot. For that man, it is a kind of pain to reawaken the love of a woman every day, but it doesn't seem to be that painful compared to facing an old partner who has been ridiculed that you are not after many days. Countless literary works have described the pain of a man pursuing a woman, but because he is pursuing, he has goals, so he feels fulfilled. Don’t look at the bitterness of racking his brains and sleepless nights. In fact, the kid is full of excitement. Now. And the most wonderful thing about this movie is the ending. The most vulgar ending is, suddenly, God is sincerely moved by the man, the memory of the woman opens, the miracle reappears, and the prince and princess live happily together. This is not the case in this film. The medical miracle did not appear. Women still have only one day to remember, but men have built their nests and their lifestyles with love and heart, so we see that they and their daughters are still living happily together. These fragments of good memories are long because of forgetting.

And "Blue Valentine's Day" makes people feel a little discouraged about love. It shows the process of love breaking, and uses the most cruel form: a beautiful past and a cruel today, two clues intersect each other. Show, show a heartbreaking contrast. The two leading actors, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, show us a boring, barely maintained marriage with their excellent acting skills. They try to relive the sweetness of the past, but they find the beauty of the first love. , Far from the formal solitude and hard love can be redeemed. The direction of this relationship and the collapse of this marriage are so familiar. It seems to be an inherent pattern. When the two young people are not yet fully prepared, they assume the mutual responsibilities of marriage because of pregnancy. Unwilling, always hope that the married life will be more stable and mature. And men once again show the late maturity of men, and under this childish personality, the frustration at work, the lack of self-confidence in character, and the continuous progression and circulation of suspiciousness and insecurity in life. At this time, how much they need to forget, forget the unhappiness of reality, sleep a lot, and wake up to see a videotape next to them, all of which are fragments of their sweet lives in the film, and then look at each other, "It turns out that we were in the past. It has been so good, let us continue to be so good." The cruel reality is, "We used to be so good, but the reality is so bad. Next, in order to avoid worsening, we should leave as soon as possible." "Blue Valentine's Day" can be said to be an "emotional suspense film". The turbulent marriage life at the beginning was sometimes boring and dull, and sometimes hysterical, but the intertwined good times made people easy to hope. Isn't it, in the end, at least leave us an ending where we both look at each other and smile. However, the ending of this film is not conventional, and confronts reality. The man leaves behind, which makes us feel that this is a relief to each other.

"Open one eye and close one eye" is not something that everyone can practice, but a car accident in "50 First Loves" gave a couple an unexpected apocalypse. Of course, this is also a collision, not something that can be pursued. owned. We often feel too little and too short about joy, but we don’t know precisely because of this. In the process of such regrets and eagerness to wait for the next joy, we forget the chewing of the past joyous times and the precipitation of them in the memory. . On the contrary, for pain, we always feel too long and too much, always thinking about how bitter we are, but we don't know precisely because of this. In such self-blaming, we constantly strengthen the memory of painful experiences. Therefore, love is always the first love, and marriage is always sweet. But the weird thing is that when we have conflicts, how good the past is, it is how you remembered and how bad you are now. Once there is a contradiction, even if there is a bit of joy flashing in your mind, you will immediately remember the pain that has taken root in your memory, reminding yourself not to be confused by this joyful "illusion". The romance of "50 First Loves" is "fake", so beautiful and so far away; the brokenness of "Romantic Valentine's Day" is "true", so painful and so realistic. If we have a little "amnesia" function, it's good to remind ourselves of each other, why bother to owe me yesterday, I owe you, arguing about today's hard work, or I hard work.
