why me?

It is generally believed that the title of the movie is not well translated, but I actually think it is not bad. After watching the movie, the biggest feeling is indeed: ask the sky silently. Ask, why me? why me? Leonard reminded me of "life as it is" suddenly, like Leonard's excited monologue "five in the morning". He was trapped, in a dream; what about us? What dream are you trapped in again? This is a purer person, life as it is. He avoided being changed by the world because he was trapped in that dream. Leonard says "you wake up a person," but maybe it's not just "A person that the movie wants to wake up." We all need to be woken up. And, those who are sleeping, those who have been sleeping for so long that they are taken for granted, just like you and me, soft, sensitive, dignified, "quiet, polite and respectful, never demands anything", needs and should be awakened and respected .
