Eraser in my head

Just looking at the introduction, I thought it was a comedy. Xiuzhen always forgets things and forgets things. She forgot to get the coke she bought at the convenience store. When she went back to find it, she found a migrant worker (Ze Soo) walking out with a coke in his hand, so...the first half of the film has some Some Coke places, but it doesn't always feel like a comedy, with a vague unease. What Xiuzhen got was Alzheimer's disease, a rare case, simply, expected.

What follows is a series of touching plots, the mutual concealment between lovers, and after knowing it, they are surprisingly calm, without crying, not even tears, just quietly looking at each other, "I will never forget you". Because of the film's previous foreshadowing of the seriousness of amnesia (she will forget everything, her lover, and even who she is), hearing such words, no matter how calm people are, they can't help but feel uneasy.

The plot flows slowly, even forgetting the current lover, only remembering the pain of the lover who once abandoned her, and it is only a small unhappiness on the way to the abyss of despair. "Three days before she died, where she first met, she remembered everything. I thought she was cured, but soon, she asked, who are you, where am I, and why are you crying." The story came to an abrupt end when I remembered everything.

Korean tragedies do not make people think philosophically, such as thinking about "without memory, there is no soul?" Although the director asked Zezhu to say this line several times, I also remembered it, but still Without thinking. The film just immerses people in a kind of tragic pleasure that good luck can't last long. Yes, it is the pleasure, the sympathy for everyone who is also being teased by the ruthless fate, and the unstoppable pleasure that the most vulnerable point in the heart is gently touched.
