To me, "Fragments of Memories" is not playing cards according to common sense. It is the opposite of the audience's psychological sequence. First, shoot the camera and combine them into a story, and then chop the complete story into N segments. The linear narrative combination is told.
This is probably the most brilliant technique for suspense and thriller stories. No one can withstand the turnaround at the end, even if you look sleepy and confused... But in fact, I can guarantee that as long as you have the desire to explore, it definitely has the energy to make you look at it vigorously.
At the beginning of the film, the protagonist kills a person, and then flashback tells you step by step how and why he killed; Zhengxu tells you step by step how he is and why he is such a person... Then you are full of sympathy and suffer from amnesia The protagonist of the movie shows confusion, confusion, and anxiety, but has a firm and persistent mental state...Finally, the protagonist kills another person at the end of the film.
Friends who have watched the film can’t forget the Polaroid camera of the protagonist and the tattoo all over his body. As a person with only 10 minutes of short-term memory, these two things seem indispensable; shredded editing, these two are also used as the main clues. The photo captures the characters and scenes, and the tattoos write down the reasons and facts... Let the exploration take a step One step.
After watching "Fragments of Memory" at first, I was encouraged to buy a Polaroid camera. So, I bought it, and later used it very little, because I seemed to be buying it as a gift, and I was very confused. Occasionally when eating western food, I chop up pizza and steak, disrupt it, and savor piece by piece...
I wonder: the world still exists? I want to believe that the world is not what I imagined, and I want to believe that what I do is still meaningful...even though it repeats more frequently every day.
I quite like the translation of the Chinese title, "Shards of Memory", which is the same as the editing of the film, the chopped montage. There are many films about memory, and there are many classics, most of which are about sci-fi and brainwashing; and this one, cut so fragmented, is a real-life version, it's really unique. The English title "Memento" is a souvenir, something that evokes memories. I think that human life is the index of memory fragments, so people live in self-worth.
