We all need memories to remind ourself who we are

We all need memories to remind ourself who we are. After

reading it once, in the fog, read it again, sort out the clues, and then go to the film review, there are a lot of great
people, what is the story? word. Now that it all makes sense, I don't ask for further explanation. Lost in Lenny's chaotic memory is a better way to appreciate this work. I am a person with a strong sense of substitution. I can't rationally distinguish the logic of the protagonist's actions. I always put myself in the position of the protagonist and understand everything about the protagonist.

I have no memory, is what I do meaningful, how can I know it is meaningful, and why do I have to find a way to remind myself that it is meaningful. If not, why should I live? I'm thinking, why does the protagonist want to live, he knows that he only has short memory, everything that happened is like nothing to him, there must be a reason to support him to live, obviously, for his wife's death revenge.

How did the wife die? Douyou has three analysis: 1. He was raped but not dead. He was killed by overdose of insulin injection caused by his own amnesia. He was reluctant to accept the fact that he combined his wife's death with the memory of being raped, believing that a murderer was still alive.
2, as he himself remembered, was killed by two murderers.
3. He was raped and murdered by a murderer, but he had difficulty accepting this fact and imagined a second murderer.

Because he loves her deeply, and his last memory is his wife, he no longer has new memories, will not fall in love with anyone again, heartless life is like a walking dead, revenge gives him a reason to live, Then his future life will be meaningful. The results of these three are the same, which makes sense.
The plot and characters in the play have nothing to do with his wife's death. He was only used by Teddy to kill Jimmy, by Natallie to beat Dodd, and by Natallie to kill Teddy. Because he has no memory, he has never been able to erase the pain of his wife's killing, and go to endless revenge with hatred and no memory.
Is revenge the end? Even if I get my revenge, how do I know that I have got my revenge? Maybe judging from the pictures Teddy gave him, he should have killed a lot of people, but he doesn't give himself the reminder of it's done tattoos. Playing with yourself in order to make your life worthwhile to pursue? Yes, after he killed Jimmy, and got the truth from teddy, he asked himself if he wanted to believe it, and finally decided, not. Do I lie to myself to be happy? In your case, teddy, Yes. Since you're also John G, I'll make you my next target.
You can't end the meaning of your life. There is only one, the end is the end of everything, the world still exists, and what he does still has meaning. He knows all this is what he must believe. Kang Yong said that everything is a memory in the end, so please try to remember it correctly. If it is not love, don’t remember it as love, if it is not a kiss, don’t remember it as a kiss. If it’s love, don’t miss it, remember it as love. Facts hurt, we can imagine another world, and the hardest part is convincing ourselves that Lenny is so easy to get. He said that memory is unreliable, facts are credible, and what are these facts. You can fool yourself at any time into believing that you create the truth -- isn't that the most powerful ability? We all need memory to remind us who we are, and conversely, amnesia can forget who we are and what we don't want to believe.
In short, nothingness should not be, then I can find any reason for myself. This is much better than waiting to die.

After reading it for the first time, I didn't understand so much logic, but I really believed in the protagonist's belief that he finally got his revenge. In fact, every revenge is just a puzzle he gives himself, and he plays with himself in an infinite loop.

    Use flashbacks to complicate the simple story, regress and restore layer by layer. It is worth revisiting several times. It's hard to watch but very puzzle. The suggestion that Jimmy injected his wife to death was handled very well. It explained the real cause of death of the protagonist’s wife. The clever director did not deliberately explain, not only to maintain independence, but also to respect the IQ of the audience.

    The movie that can be done in 10 minutes was done silently for 2 hours. It is a mystery that young literary and artistic youths must watch 13 movies.

Memento quotes

  • Leonard Shelby: When I looked into his eyes I thought I saw recognition. Now I know. You fake it. If you think you're supposed to recognize somebody you, you just pretend. You bluff it to get a pat on the head from the doctors. You bluff it to seem less like a freak.

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