Eternal Sunshine

Can memories really be washed away?

After watching "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind" (Hong Kong translation of "Painless Love Lost"), I think the memories may be washed away, but the feeling will never disappear.

Even people who have completed the brainwashing process will meet again and fall in love again at the end, because they only have feelings for certain people and certain things.

Just like I always love to eat spicy food, this is my natural and original hobby, will it change because of amnesia?

Since meeting, it is a kind of wonderful fate, after washing away the mutual memory of each other, there is still something special to draw each other, that is fate, the feeling of memory. So, when you go to the place where you once hugged, maybe you have forgotten the situation at that time, but you can feel familiar, as if there is something in your heart, as if there is something struggling desperately in your heart, and your desire is coming into your mind.

Perhaps, in the process of getting along, there were a lot of disputes, and they became disgusted with each other, so they hoped to get rid of those sad past events and start a new life, so people decided to "brainwashing".

In the process of brainwashing, the actor first remembered the recent unpleasant experience, and then gradually remembered the happiness of his passion, so he longed to stop "brainwashing", but he was powerless.

The protagonist kept trying his best to keep the memories, but watched the disappearance one by one, only then did he realize that he was reluctant.

It is true that people often only see what is in front of them, and the men and women in dispute cannot remember the beauty they once had. Our thinking is getting narrower and narrower, and our shortcomings are infinitely magnified. If the hero and heroine can calm down and think about it, Is it possible to avoid unnecessary waste by awakening those happy memories that you have had?

Getting along with people always requires tolerance. We must understand that no one is perfect, and no memory is perfect. There is happiness, and naturally there is harm, but as long as we tolerate the sad past and keep the happy past at the same time, in our minds, there will always be love, the immortal sunshine.
