—— Nietzsche’s
film opening shows a thin and slightly decadent man who wakes up, drives away a car that seems to have been dented by the owner of the adjacent parking space, appears at the station, and is anxious. There are men holding bouquets in the crowd. It was Valentine's Day in 2004, as Joel said: This is a holiday invented by a card company, which deliberately makes people sad. He did not follow the usual boring life of two points and one line. Instead, he chose to skip work and board the Montauk train. This does not seem to be something he would do. He carried an abnormal impulse and unconscious intuition. , Embarked on a journey to find memories.
The incomplete diary made him think that it had been two years since he wrote the diary last time. The beach here is very cold. Montauk in February is very beautiful. He wrote, but he didn’t realize that everything was brewing again. He returned to the beach where he first met Clementine and took a few pages of his diary. Ben, once again met Clementine wearing an orange hooded jacket, and at this time she was already a strange woman that Joel did not dare to look directly at, a strange woman who was drinking anytime, anywhere with dyed blue hair, and a driving woman. The noisy neurotic women on the train who took the initiative to greet him, they have the same destination, and they are also on the same journey of subconsciously searching for lost memories, familiar faces, small ridicules about Clementine's name, the subconscious approach and inexplicable attraction of both sides, everything It seems to be repeating, but it's a new beginning. For Clementine's enthusiasm, he was disturbed and faintly looking forward to it. He hesitated in the invitation to drink, but when she tried to adjust his hair, she appeared. Like a subtle catalyst, his lackluster and taciturn life began to be different, and the same anxiety about life made them smile at each other.
An ambiguous and sweet call, the frozen Charles River, lying on a huge crack and looking up at the stars, chilly romance, love growing.
Patrick's seemingly nonsensical opening was a lead that kicked off the curtain. Like most love, they are so different, like two pieces of very different shapes, but accompanied by wonderful complementary attraction to meet, fall in love, get along, and the differences in personality ultimately lead to huge differences between them, from life habits to whether or not. They should have a child. They are like two planets that suddenly collided and exploded. The amnestic technology with sci-fi colors appeared on the occasion, giving them an outlet to vent, first Clementine, then Joel, they were disappointed in love. , Weak, and haggard, I found Howard’s studio and hurriedly found out everything related to her, from the portraits he painted for her, to the diaries filled with their lives, to the selection of her on Valentine’s Eve but failed. The necklace was finally sent, in an attempt to delete all memories related to Clementine.
The entire process of deleting memories is long and complicated, and it also brings out several parallel stories, from Patrick's use of things that carry all of Joel's memories, from the way of speaking to the dating place to the present, and dating Clementine, but it can't beat the deep memory and people. The instincts that are born with you, die without disease. From the intricate love entanglements between Mary and Howard and Stan, and the appearance of Holis is like a gate of memory, the deleted love memory between Mary and Howard is out of control. At the end of amnestics, Joel finally realized how terrible it was for Clementine to disappear in his memory. He took Clementine in the illusion in an attempt to escape the deletion of the memory, and finally used the collapse of the beach house to symbolize the disappearance of their memory. .
After the 17-minute prologue of the whole film, the plot narrative seems to be on the right track. At first it is easy to give people a feeling of confusion, and many of the details of the setting have metaphorized the direction of the plot. Able to smooth the plot, all the doubts slowly surfaced in the process of Joel's deletion of memories. The process and contradictions of their love are presented one by one, as well as the few romances that they brought out, showing the audience the irresistible in love. , Sweetness, conflict, doubt, disappointment, sadness, confusion and forgiveness. At the end of the story, Joel passed all the memories related to Clementine in a moving car, joy, intimacy, and quarrel. He watched the memory pass by, like sand leaking from the fingers, sad but helpless, passing on The frustration that the past cannot be restored and the memory cannot be copied gives a footnote to most regrets left in love. In the end, they met again and fell in love with the guidance of their memories, which seemed to convey the optimism that the memory cannot be erased and true love is supreme.
