Lisa in the past, Alice in the present, Muriel in the future!
This movie seems to tell us a truth, tells us the true meaning of life, has nothing to do with love, but relies on love.
In life, each of us is Max, with our own unique memories, memories that we don’t want to forget, and moments of happiness that give ourselves short-lived moments.
Why can't Max in the movie see Lisa in memory? It's because the current Alice is a stumbling block. This doesn't mean that the current life will constantly drive us to forget the past, and it may take a while to forget the past, such as two or three years in the movie; in the end, the memories of the past will always be there. At one point (Lisa was killed) it completely disappeared from our minds. And for the present, the present is always short-lived, just like the two or three days Alice and Max spent together. So what about the future, we live in the present, constantly facing the future, the future will appear from time to time in the passage of time, just as Muriel always appears at an important time node in the movie, it seems that the future is the biggest boss.
Speaking of Max, let’s talk about each of us, we recall the past, but we are always attracted by the temptation of the present, which makes us temporarily forget the past and ignore the future for the time being; and after the happiness of the present, we still can’t get rid of the past and have to care about the future. . For the present, we seem to be powerless, because the present is the existence we can really feel, we always like what we can grasp, the past is too far away from us, and the future is too ethereal. However, in the end, the present will surely leave, and the past will also become a picture that may never be remembered in the long river of memory. Only the future is something we must face, and we will strive for it for a long time.
Recalling the past, living in the present, and grasping the future seems to be a life that each of us has to face!
