Nolan God Narrative Memory Fragments
Maudie 2022-04-20 09:01:03
The protagonist deliberately selectively forgets the reality, is deceived by others and is willing to deceive himself, selectively forgets the unhappiness of the past, stops the memory at a certain point, and continues to give himself the reason to be motivated to live, and keeps recycling his own Way to live and continue to make life motivated. This is good and bad, the bad thing is that you keep running away from it until you can't get out of this shadow. The good thing is that in this cold reality, I have the motivation to let myself survive, and I will come out when the time is right.

Teddy: So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that. We all do it.
