About memory filtering

The successful release of Inception "Inception" and Avatar on the big screen last year showed that the creation of actual scenes and the meticulous care of social events can no longer arouse the audience's interest. Playing in a world established by one's own rules is popular. I recently discovered Lola Rennt's "Running Lola" in 1998, Memento's "Memories" in 2000, and The Triangle "Bermuda Triangle" in 2005. These three movies have been intermittently as the appearance of "Inception" To prepare and understand the audience’s preferences. In "Lola Run", in order to find the 100,000 mark, the difficulty encountered in the process was the emergence of unexpected events, and then, through the time backwards many times, to stand on a new point in time, and initiate another rescue to the target. Try. "Memory Fragment", in order to avenge his dead wife, the obstacle is that the protagonist suffers from short-term memory loss. He uses a large number of photos and notes to record the short past that cannot be carried by memory, so as to help him find the murderer. In "Bermuda Triangle", the slight difference is that the peculiar past appears in the form of an illusion, and this illusion is embedded in a big strategy. But the horror and cascading effect caused by the alternate appearance of illusion and reality is very unique. In "Inception", the goal is still constant and unique, and it creates the so-called "dream experience changes the reality decision" theory, using the way of transforming dreams to transform the final decision. In chronological order, it is always going forward repeatedly. The same is true of storytelling skills, all kung fu is edited in the later stage. The logical dialogue at the end of "Shards of Memory" is fascinating. "You can be my John G" and "We need memory to confirm our existence" and "You only remember what you want to remember" are the most impressive sentences. After the goal is lost, motivation is lost and a new goal is created, even if it is wrong. After forgetting the things in your personal experience, how can you confirm that you are still yourself? The hard identity comes from the endowment of family and position, and the small identity of the inner self can only be formed by memory. Even trauma is still a memory. I chose to use small sticky notes to fight memory loss, and what I recorded were some words and sentences after judgment. You can't record all the conversations, only the conclusions that were made within a short period of time. Such actions seem to be summed up in one sentence. When looking through the diary, I would find that I thought I would record events that have a major impact on me today, but on that day it was not even the smallest details, and it was even taken by "Nothing Today". When the details of the past are dug out and spliced ​​out of thin memories, you will get the satisfaction of having a series of plots. If the memory is not credible, should you believe in short-term judgments and cramped words? If you don’t believe the text, do you believe in a specific photo taken from a special perspective? If they are not credible, who should you believe?
