The director of this film, Darabont, is no stranger to everyone. In his unproductive artistic career, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Miracle on the Green Mile" can be said to be the pinnacles, and this "Life in Film" It is a story of a bizarre amnesiac movie screenwriter, which indirectly expresses the spiritual core of American freedom and democracy. The film tells the story of a movie screenwriter who was mistaken for being a Communist Party member and was persecuted. During a very depressed time, he had a car accident. He woke up from the car accident and lost all memory. He was rescued to a small town and was mistaken for someone else. In the end, he regained his memory and completed the story of self-redemption. Yes, it is indeed a bit cliché to use amnesia in movies, because we found that many film and television works are talking about people's amnesia, and many of them are outstanding. Just list a few more famous films in film history. , Nolan's "Memento", "Before I Go to Sleep" starring Nicole Kidman, including "Who Am I" by Jackie Chan, and the film "Return" by Zhang Yimou, the national teacher reviewed before. "Crazy Is Not Evil" has always wondered why both the director and the audience are so fond of the topic of "amnesia". Memory can be said to be the ultimate carrier of the crystallization of all human civilizations and wisdom. Whether it is books, videos, totems, oral narratives and other non-material cultures, they are all arousing people's memories. To a certain extent, all human knowledge is all about it. Memory, when human beings lose their memory, all the civilizations created before will disappear immediately (at the end of the movie "Super Body", all human civilizations are even condensed into a USB flash drive); in a person's thinking process, memory is also the final link : Thinking is triggered by curiosity, gradually understood through thinking, and the natural memory after understanding is finally completed, or the completion of memory is the end of a round of learning (think about whether all learning is memory in the end? The process of learning is not memory, but The results of learning are reflected through memory, which is why my country's examination evaluation methods always select memory experts), and memory is the source of the next round of deep thinking and creation. However, there are also negative aspects of memory. For example, movies such as "Shutter Island" and "Manchester by the Sea" are about the painful memories that a person has always lingered before. The latter is to let oneself always live in memory and not come out. Therefore, the answer to "crazy is not evil" is: amnesia is the end of a person's previous life accumulation, and it also means the beginning of a new life. A person has experienced two lives in a limited life, which may be the reason why the director and the audience are always obsessed with this, because it is impossible for us to experience two lives, and the film as "the art of dreaming" just realizes this. This possibility, and resorting to a certain medical explanation makes it impossible to completely disbelieve. Between believing and unbelieving, I have experienced two kinds of "pleasures" in life. Finally, "Crazy is not evil" wants to say: some memories are not reliable, and they may change with emotions and circumstances. Jiang Wen's debut work "Sunny Days" has a classic interpretation of this, but in real life we It is true that I have a deep memory for things that have a relatively large emotional impact; at the same time, "Crazy is not evil" also believes that it is not possible to rely only on brain memory, mental memory, emotional memory, body memory, muscle memory, etc. may sometimes be more reliable than brain memory, because "Crazy is not evil" has really seen a dancer. Although the person has lost his memory, his limbs can still drive the body to dance a moving dance.
