soul is memory. What about love? Without memory, everything is lost. She looked at you affectionately and said in her mouth, I love you, but called out her ex-lover's name. This disease is called Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's syndrome. There was an eraser in her mind, constantly wiping away memories, the more recent they were, the more they were forgotten.

It was said before that love is great and can resist many things. Yes, you can have no fear of death. However, it cannot resist the decline of memory. There is no cure for this disease. Great, what a natural prop. Sadly desolate.

When one day, you find yourself losing the ability to love, what should you do? The deadline is not long, but it is enough to make good use of the last memory to love. When the memory is completely lost, there is no pain. It is only painful until it is lost. This movie has no ending, because the ending is to be faced. And the audience may not like the too tragic ending. If it is miraculously cured, it will lose the meaning of sadness. It's like the end of some songs, just slowly reducing the volume, not ending.

This love started because of memory loss, she went to the supermarket to buy something, purse and Coke left on the counter. I saw a strange man standing beside him, holding a can of Coke. She thought he stole the Coke, grabbed it and drank it, burped the soda, then returned the empty can to him in a demonstration, turned and walked to the bus stop. He remembered her, and gradually began to see all the details of the encounter. The details are beautiful, the beauty of love when it comes, is deeply stored in the memory, and when you want to leave, take it away slowly. While watching this movie, I happened to be watching a TV show. The heroine on TV said that being with a person and being happy for a few days is better than being unhappy with a person for a lifetime. If the movie wasn't a movie, I'd love to write it down, stuff it into an envelope, and mail it to the hero and heroine of the movie.

In fact, there is no guarantee that you can live smoothly without the love lost because of memory. The memory of the past lovers proves that a person's love is multi-layered.

If there is no quantity, then there is quality. If you have a choice, I would rather have a few happy days, rather than meet the pain in pain. An eraser will erase happiness and pain, and erase a person's memory of love, but isn't she still loved? In the depths surrounded by love? Before her illness became clear, didn't she try to comfort her, and her current lover learned to forgive? Forgetting is a complete psychological medicine for harm. Such as her indecent love with a married man.

It was very unusual, and instead of being forced to tears, there was a kind of relief from watching. Love in a special situation brings the ordinary idea of ​​love into the everyday, and it is always something beneficial. So I think the psychological color of this movie is relatively heavy. Love is nothing but an emotion attached to our memory, and is it happier if we treat the irresistible things that come from ourselves, and we choose positive behavior to obey?

Add a paragraph from Jimmy: I have forgotten the sadness of yesterday, and what can be forgotten is no longer important. This is the end, or the next beginning. Although the movie is forced to forget, but from the final "happiness" mixed with sadness, it is the best destination.
