About memory and self

The Chinese name of the movie is Memory Mystery, and it works well! There is a saying that makes a deep impression: people always suspect that other people's memories are wrong, but they rarely doubt their own. In fact, we all edit our memories, we only want to remember what we believe, and sometimes these are not facts. Who is right and who is wrong is often unclear. But as long as people's independent thinking exists, misunderstandings will exist.
The film can also be said to be a growth story. A series of misunderstandings caused by the male protagonist’s childhood memory disorder may not be so exaggerated in reality. We always use drugs or something, but some details of the imagination will be automatically completed by the brain. That person's impression, even if he didn't, or didn't intend to, is misleading your memory. After the male protagonist understands this, he will go to the peak of his life.
The image of the father inside is also good, mean, always complaining, and kind-hearted. But he doesn't know how to express himself. He loves to belittle his son too much. He is a very contradictory person. Looking at the communication in the film, the love between the male and female protagonists, the self-righteous frankness of the male protagonist, but in exchange for hatred, the actual frankness is the real thing!

    Stephen Elliott: You remember when you taught me to drive? I was 14. You let me drive out to Warren park in a '69 mustang. I loved that car. You used to take me out, let me drive. I remember feelin' so happy and free, full of hope and potential.

    Neil Elliott: I don't know why you always told people I taught you to drive in the mustang. It was a red 1968 Oldsmobile Delmont convertible, in Warren park in the parkin' lot. You were belligerent, and you were a terrible driver. So we only did it once.

    Stephen Elliott: Wanna go for a drive? I don't wanna see you for an hour.

    Neil Elliott: Nah, we'd just argue.

    Stephen Elliott: Fine. Then we'll just go. We'll agree not to talk. It doesn't matter. None of it matters.

    Neil Elliott: All right. You gotta help me up here. Help your old dad get up...
