It's better to forget it, forget it all

I used to say that sad things, let us forget, all of them forget

you or me, all stand on the height of the past, cry and smile,
memory is nothing, but it determines the whole of a person is
not used to sadness, I don’t like pity, I don’t want to be sad
. When I don’t think about it, I always say, forget it . I

carry the memory of being raped and murdered the most and amnesia; I carry the mad desire for revenge.
I can't help but say that he is so sad for
all his purposes, just to kill a person, to take revenge and vengeance.

He is like a tragic figure, and he has won my great sympathy, just because his life is only left with remnants of love, and nothing. After reading the rest of the anger and sadness

, I found that he is more like a tragic figure

with 45 memory fragments, flashbacks in color, and narration in black and white. The opening is the ending, and the ending is the connection between black and white and color.
We see at the beginning of the story teddy is killed, this is the end of time and at the end
of the story, jimmy is killed, this is a black and white story of a stopover in time

, he was led by teddy to kill jimmy by mistake in the
color story, he Used by Natalie to kill teddy

In the black and white story, only the end of teddy who has used the protagonist - the death
color story is just right, there is a demonstration of how Natalie started to use the protagonist

Every character in the film has two shadows, both him and
me I thought the protagonist had a shadow of sammy, teddy had a shadow of natalie, jimmy had a shadow of teddy, and sammy's wife and the protagonist's wife, their images almost overlapped in my mind. .

I have to think of Murakami's End of the World and Grim Wonderland
The connection between dreams and reality, each image has a double shadow, and two completely different worlds give people the same feeling - cold, impetuous, gray, sinking

I know that there are many explanations for this film, about some different What is certain, my preliminary understanding is as follows:
1. The protagonist's wife has indeed been raped. At this time, the protagonist was indeed attacked and lost his memory. The wife is not dead and has been taking care of the protagonist with amnesia. But whether the murderer is 1 or 2, in the end the situation of the two drug dealers mentioned by teddy is not credible, I haven't figured it out
2. Sammy is just a deceiver who pretends to have amnesia, and the protagonist exposes his lies. Therefore, the protagonist has the concept of this disease in his heart, and psychologically implies that he has this disease. The protagonist's illness is also a mental illness. Although the conditioned reflex can still be formed, the reason for the formation is also a psychological suggestion. The rest of the story, the sadness of the wife, the death of the wife, these all happened to the protagonist. As for whether the protagonist escaped from the mental hospital, etc., I can freely associate it.
3. Since the memory loss, the protagonist thought that his wife was raped and wanted mad revenge. The memory of his wife's death may only be generated when his wife really died. The protagonist is crazy for revenge and has actually killed people. There is a scene in the movie where the wife strokes the "I've done it" sadness in front of the protagonist's left chest. It was precisely when the wife knew these things that she desperately hoped that the protagonist would recover, and in the end she was sad and chose the ending of "either the protagonist will get better, or she will die by herself".
4. The protagonist may have killed an infinite number of people before this story. And will kill a lot of people, like Natalie's life, I'm afraid it's impossible to save
5. Those two clothes are also a small point to separate the black and white story from the color story.
8. The protagonist knows everything subconsciously, he is just, for himself Survive to find a purpose, to find a lie for not being sad. Don't believe his lies. That his may sometimes be the protagonist himself
,
hey. . .
If the protagonist's amnesia is the memory of forgetting all the past, it would be great
