Memories are a very good-looking movie. The director's ability to mobilize audience participation is extremely high. The ability to challenge the audience's memory and thinking logic has reached an unprecedented level, so that many people are interested in watching the movie after watching it repeatedly. The sequence is rearranged according to normal logic. Let's not talk about how the director's editing and flashbacks are used to shock the world, just to torture us psychologically, in fact, everyone is Lenny.
Lenny, the poor protagonist, became a patient with short-term memory impairment in an accident. At the same time, in this accident, in the remaining memory, he became a neurotic patient. He assumed the responsibility of revenge for his wife, with a sense of mission. Behind it is the blame for his loss of protection, no matter how sudden the incident occurred and how tough the opponent was (put aside the truth: in fact, his wife was killed by himself), no matter how he lost his memory. , It is difficult to rely on the clues, and continue to leave all kinds of external memory means, and he will continue to use it to pursue his sole purpose. In the process of tracing his enemies, he is also a person with personality disorder. When Lenny knew that the real murderer of his wife was himself, he forced himself to change this memory, so he went to find the person who killed his wife. He changed his memory because he was in pain, and he wanted to escape the pain of guilt. For this selfish reason, he can rely on the inconclusive evidence that is full of loopholes to infer every possible enemy he thinks, kill the enemy he thinks, and forget the truth with the help of short-term amnesia and forge a falsehood. His memory completely throws away the responsibilities, and completes his self-confidently meaningful life. It turns out that the human brain is selective in preserving memories, removing those unpleasant things that make oneself painful, but what remains is not necessarily true.
In the conversation between Teddy and Lenny, Teddy told Lenny that if you had no revenge, life would have no purpose. Lenny's purpose of tampering with her memory is to find a reason to support her to continue living. Although this reason is fictitious, it is also very important. The motivation for revenge can motivate him to continue living and make life meaningful, even if it is meaningless. Life needs to have a purpose, a clear purpose, which is very important. It is a terrible thing that two kinds of morbid psychology alternately appear in a patient with short-term memory disorder, and there are signs of recurrence, because in his opinion, he is always chasing the murderer for his wife, and each ghost is just a ghost. It's a short-term goal for him to accomplish his purpose in life.
Ask yourself whether most people in real life are under the cover of removing the falsehood and keeping the truth, forgetting the truth and creating falsehoods, and perfecting their own purpose of survival. If these two morbid mentalities can be used properly, it would not be a benefit to the selfish individual, at least it will experience a purposeful and meaningful wonderful life process.
