The computer of a colleague in the company lost a part of the file for some unknown operation, and the tool was used later and could not be retrieved, and the mood was very low. I've encountered this kind of thing several times. The last time was 15 years ago. I was using a notebook on a small coffee table, and a mobile hard disk was pushed to the ground. With such a slight touch, the magnetic track inside was damaged, and I couldn't read anything. I went to the outside to find a master, There's no guarantee it can be fixed, just think about it. It was uncomfortable for a while, but even after more than ten years of data, am I still alive and well? Life is not affected at all. This makes me feel that emptying is not a bad thing, and forgetting is not a bad thing. Maybe one day I will lose my memory, and I will still be able to live a good life, maybe I will be able to live a different life!

"A Man Without a Past" tells the story of a gambler who suddenly loses his memory and comes to another city to start his life again. There is no lack of warmth in the story. He was rescued by the seaside and rescued by a night watchman’s family. He asked the security guard to rent a warehouse by the seaside, and went to the bakery to ask for a free cup of water against the tea bag he had drank. He received free lunches and clothes at the Army Relief Center, fell in love with the older working women workers there, went to the bank to open an account and encountered a robbery, accidentally befriended the robber, helped him pay off the worker's debt, persuaded the Boy Scout band to play rock and roll, and became a Their agent... While work and love have improved, the police helped him find his family, leaving him at a loss. When he got home, his wife told him that he was a hopeless gambler who had lost all his records and that his relationship with his wife was so strained that he wanted a divorce. His wife's new friend came to ask for his forgiveness, which was exactly what he needed, so after the peaceful separation, he gave his wife a hug and returned to his new lover. It is a very unusual story, told in a straightforward manner, without any miracles or coincidences. It is an unfamiliar life after an ordinary person is frustrated. The emotions of ordinary people slowly penetrate into the picture through the lens and flow into our hearts.

The dull and inflexible demeanor of the male protagonist is reminiscent of the paralyzed Takeshi Kitano. After his rebirth, he has nothing, including his name and identity, but he can be accepted by the most unlucky little people at the bottom. Night watchman's salary is meager, but he is willing to invite him to drink beer together; he walks into the coffee shop with no money and is not driven away, and he can ask for free water to make tea; the police rent a "shed" for him to live in, and bring " The key is that he has a place to live; a repairman helped him connect the wires and repair the machine without asking for anything in return; the Salvation Army provided him with regular weekly food, and also provided him with second-hand fittings Clothes, the point is not to have money. After finding a job and receiving the first salary, the protagonist does not forget to be grateful. He invited the female clerks of the Salvation Army to dinner, igniting the love of the older leftover women. No matter what age you are, no matter how ordinary you look, love always makes people's faces shine with charming brilliance. The protagonist suggested that the Salvation Army should change the style of music, and the rock style was accepted. The lead singer with a forked face sang about the love and hate of the world. These little details convey a touch of warmth. The film has such a light and charming temperament.
