Death-defying memory is not life-threatening enough

People always say that life should look forward! Let go of the past!

However, life is made up of memories, and the richer your memories, the fuller your life will be! It's your memory that made you who you are now!
Whether or not to recall is two different things. You may not recall, but you must have it!
The collective amnesia in the film is a very interesting thing. The setting in the film is that human nature is inherently good and human nature is selfish. (The two are not contradictory. No one says that a kind person must be selfless!) So everyone should protect themselves without hurting others as much as possible!
The film is good, you can watch it.
At first glance, it is a small-budget film, but the idea and angle are still OK, and it is also a bit suspenseful. Mainly talk about the lack of personal feelings!

One, the overall feeling, lack of orgasm, lack of heartbeat!
I guess it should be the lack of suspense and soundtrack.

Second, the lack of characterization. There are many actors in the film, but they all lack personality and cannot mobilize people's "love and hate". It caused the audience to feel "I don't care who dies and who lives" (the male protagonist's situation is slightly better). I don't care about the fate of these actors, and I feel less nervous.

In fact, I suggest that sometimes the audience should not be told what he recalled and then what action he took, but let the audience guess what he remembered through the actions he took.

Telling the audience too much information is a lack of confidence. The lack of confidence in the film and the lack of confidence in the intelligence level of the audience. Give the audience more guesses and more imagination space, it will be more interesting!
