Reproduce memory.

I don't know how many times I've watched this movie, "The Eraser in My Mind". The heartstrings are still easily fluctuated, unable to sway and resonate by themselves. Is it because of its beauty, its moving music, its beautiful love story, or the touching scenes in the film? This is indeed a pure and beautiful sad love story, which brings people a feeling of being unable to calm down for a long time, and those happy times before sadness are more worthy of our memory. Everyone closed their eyes, and in front of them was still the innocent and beautiful smile of the heroine, the love in the corner of the hero's eyes, and the beautiful hut that belonged to them.

Train station, crying brokenhearted woman. Waiting to leave without success.

Supermarket convenience store, a can of Coke, silent disputes.

The mottled sunlight under the grape trellis, the second encounter, speechless, looking back, the dusky sunset.

The third encounter, dodging, with the apology of the first encounter and a domineering man who seeks justice, has been silent and silent.

The heroine makes a fourth encounter, a glass overflowing with wine. The male protagonist said that we will date after you drink it up, and the female protagonist raised her head and drank it after hesitating.

This kind of love started without any suspense.

He said, if the memory is gone, only the soul is left...

She said, if the memory is gone, the soul will not exist...

I said, if the memory is gone, the souls of two people are twisted together, and no longer apart...

Xiuzhen is the daughter of a wealthy family and lives a life of fine clothes and food, but she has a very serious amnesia. It is common for her to leave her things and wallet in the convenience store when she goes shopping. Go to the supermarket and often leave your purchased items and wallets there. On this day, when she returned to the supermarket to pick up the fallen Coke and wallet, she found that the counter was empty. A strange man was standing next to him with a Coke. This man had a messy beard and ragged clothes. Xiuzhen believed that he stole the coke, grabbed the coke from his hand and drank it, burped loudly, then returned the empty can to him in a demonstration, turned and walked towards the bus stop. When she got into the car, she realized that she still forgot to take her wallet, so she returned to the supermarket. The supermarket waiter saw her and immediately returned the wallet and Coke to her. Only then did Xiuzhen know that she had wronged someone just now, but the man has long since disappeared. .

Cheol-soo is an illegitimate child and works as a worker in a construction company. Although he has a mother, he has never enjoyed the warmth of a family. His dream is to become an architect. Xiuzhen found out that the carpenter hired by the company to repair the showroom was the man she met in the supermarket that day. Just when she thought he didn't remember her, the man snatched the Coke that Xiuzhen had just taken out of the vending machine and drank it. , and deliberately gave Xiuzhen a loud burp. On the way from work, the man helped Xiuzhen to get back the stolen handbag...

After a period of communication, the two fell in love with each other. One evening, in the snack bar, Zhezhu said to Xiuzhen, "After drinking this cup, we will date, otherwise, we will never see each other again." Xiuzhen drank the wine without hesitation, and the two started dating. . Due to his poor background, Cheol-soo did not dare to confess and promise easily. Finally, Xiuzhen proposed to Zhezhu, which was too sudden for Zhezhu, who never knew what a family was: "Want to marry me? Fool, what am I good for?" But at Xiuzhen's insistence, they Still married. After marriage, Xiuzhen, the memory began to fade gradually, like being erased by an eraser. In fact, Xiuzhen has Alzheimer's disease, and her brain is gradually dying. Cheol-soo often finds out that there are only two servings of rice in the love toilet that his wife prepares for him, and Soo-jung often gets lost even when he gets home. Xiuzhen told Zhezhu: "I have an eraser in my head." In the end, Xiuzhen finally lost her memory completely. Every day she woke up, she didn't know the man beside her, but every night before going to bed, she found herself In love with this stranger...

Love is always one of the eternal themes of movies. "Eraser in My Mind" tells us one of the saddest love stories with one of the highest quality cuts and the most soothing footage. In my opinion, the ease and sway of the camera language is so moving, the slow shots, editing, background music, everything fits together so perfectly. But all this relief is just to create a false sense of happiness and the kind of sadness that comes so quickly when happiness begins to fade slowly, so that everyone has a kind of unprepared resonance.

There are many Korean movies similar to this one, as if sensationalism is mainstream. But the overall feeling of this movie is really moving, both in terms of storyline and emotion. "The Eraser in My Mind" is plain, but there is a touch of sadness in the plain, maybe because it is more practical and easier to be accepted by the audience, its tone is the process of changing from happiness to pain, it seems richer. This film did not rudely plunder the audience's tears, but earned the audience's tears in a more cruel way under calm, and made people's gradually numb hearts suddenly tighten. The director's ingenious arrangement, the delicate plot of the story, and the excellent acting skills of the actors are all connected so perfectly and attractively. Director Lee Jaehan also pays great attention to the beauty of images in the film, and gives full play to his talents. The film uses a variety of film techniques, and the speed of images, the use of light, and close-ups are all integrated into the film. The tone of the film is full of light yellow and full of realism, and even something as abstract as the sense of smell is used as a means of expression to serve the overall lens language, which is successfully integrated into this film. It's beautiful to watch, adding vibrancy and visibility to a slightly monotonous plot. Many of the film techniques used are common in commercials or MVs, making the film look more like a record MV, highlighting and enhancing the charm of the two leading actors.

Everyone has an eraser in their brain, and maybe one day this eraser will start to uncontrollably erase our most precious memories...
