memory?

After reading this memory fragment, although shocked by the piece by piece of casually pieced together his own memory, he couldn't help but begin to sympathize with the protagonist's tragic experience. The director and screenwriter’s techniques are very superb. Two different main lines, color and black and white films are intertwined, and they reveal the development of the plot, knowing that they will finally be intertwined and get the truth. But how many times is he looking for the truth?
Maybe the protagonist has been searching for the truth, until he happened to see a tattoo shop on the side of the road this time, he thought of tattooing a few words on his body so that he could get close to some truth every time and the result he was searching for.
The pain intertwined in the memory, what does this truth mean to the protagonist for the memories that you want to forget? Once I deliberately forgot the pain, and again I want to find the truth. The contradiction is mixed with the use and deception of others. Can this painful cycle continue?

    Nolan said in the interview, “The key to this film is that a character played by Joe Pantoriano may be the authority of truth. But his previous role made the audience feel that this person is not credible. I found that Joe The uncertainty and sinisterness that it brings to the film are truly terrifying."... Make full use of the audience's stereotypes of the actors' past roles to exert psychological manipulation on them. This is an advanced narrative technique, very good! But the problem also arises: Because the film uses flashbacks, Joe's character is already evil when he comes out. It is also out of the audience's psychology. They will speculate whether the initial impression of the public will eventually be reversed? Master Yu, the structure faintly betrayed the role.

    No memory may be very happy, but only a fragment of memory is sure to be terrible!
