As a flashback technique, I have seen a lot of them, but there is absolutely nothing that can be interpreted in a technique like "Fragments of Memory". Moreover, the diversity of the story narration is just as confusing and confusing as the ending of "Inception". Many people have interpreted the story in the film in different ways. I don't want to say more, I just want to make a little bit of my own perception based on my own perception. For such an old movie, it's a spoiler, and I don't care so much anymore.
How can a person with short-term amnesia survive? This is a big question. Survival requires goals and meanings, but whether symbols constructed by symbols have meaning, this film gives a philosophical thinking. The protagonist played by Guy Pierce is a short-term amnesia. He can only remember things within 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, he completely forgets the previous things. Of course, I still retain some memories before I got sick. What is terrible is that he remembers his wife was raped and killed in the bathroom at home. He killed one of the gangsters with a gun, but was also injured by another gangster, which made him suffer from amnesia. Therefore, all his memories stayed at the moment he was injured, and he thought there was a gangster, but he was not recognized by the police. Who cares about the words of a person with amnesia? So he was forced to find the murderer by himself, which is all the meaning of his life.
But this is actually not true. The conformity he left to himself is not all true, he is deceived, used by others, and murdered for others. A bad policeman took advantage of him and gave him misleading information. In fact, his wife did not die in the disaster, but took good care of him and hoped that he could wake up from the illness. However, because of his amnesia, he personally killed his wife without knowing it. Even the little bastard back then, he had killed him long ago, and the so-called hatred had long been reported. But also because of amnesia, he didn't realize it. In the case of revenge, still insisting on looking for the so-called enemy, this is all the meaning of the survival of an amnesiar. This reality has surpassed the story itself and has risen to a philosophical level. It is how amnesiars should survive, or in other words, what is the meaning of life in society for people in reality.
In society, when we persist in doing something, we are actually wrong at the beginning. The meaning of persistence is to go further and further on the wrong road. Such a thing is a tragedy. However, in reality, this kind of thing is happening again and again, and the people in it really feel so embarrassed. In other words, we who are not so tragic, although we are walking on the wrong road, are we going down on a meaningless road, aren't we? Isn't the ambiguity the most everyday state of our lives? So, what should we do? In fact, Christopher Nolan has given us an answer far away, that is, dreaming. In dreams, we can achieve things that we can't usually achieve, and we can build our own world in dreams. But what "Inception" tells us is after the collapse of the dream. What should we do when the dream is broken. "Inception" finally gave a bright tail. In fact, it is the life itself that tells people. Only to cherish the real life is the truth after all the falsehoods. But is the ending of such a happy reunion true? What "Shards of Memory" said is just when reality is not true, so what? "Fragments of Memories" 10 years ago echoed with "Inception" 10 years later. In fact, no one can give any answers. The real answer probably still lies in the hearts of the people. Solve your own affairs by yourself, watch a good film, get your own feelings, and find the answers you want to find. That's all.
