A story about memory

"——What if we don’t remember each other and can’t find each other?"
"——Then we will all come here, come to this garden, so we will find each other."

This is my two days of fighting The dialogue in one of the games suddenly found that it coincides with the theme of the movie, so I wrote it here.

You can erase a person from your memory, but wanting him or her to leave your heart is another matter. When Joel (Jim Carrey)'s memories of his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) are cleared, there is still a ray of sunlight in his heart, the ray of sunlight that once dazzled and moved him and her at the same time , It was the sunshine at that moment that made him find Clementine again.

We also have such eternal moments in our lives: a song, a word, a smile, a pair of warm hands, or a call from the heart. Those moments are often so beautiful that people can't believe its truth. When remembering, they wonder if they were just my own wishful illusion, just a narcissistic pretentiousness. I think as long as you are still willing and daring to pursue this seemingly ethereal beauty, as long as your heart is still open to "eternity", those moments will still exist. Believe that the eternal sunshine is indeed there.

Also believe that you are not the only one who saw that ray of sunshine. If Joel and Clementine both thought that the ecstasy at the time was just their own experience, at the end of the film, they would not have recovered all the memories of each other-happy and sad-and then bravely chose to start again. Start this relationship. I believe that there is always a ray of sunshine shining in the heart of the other person, so that we can follow the light together and find each other again in the vast world.

"If we don't remember each other, we will all come to this garden." The garden in the game and the sunshine in the film are all witnesses of our innocent feelings, and the North Star when we are lost in the vast land. When you can't find where to go, please look back and see where is the warm sunshine that belongs to you.
