Everyone can change their memory.

In the play, Leeny's last words can't be remembered clearly, probably because he admitted that memory is very important. In the previous clips, he has always been very confident. Those notes and tattoos can remind him to remember things.
But memory is never reliable. As he said, he wants to live a meaningful life, so he is willing to forget the reality of his revenge and find a purpose.
But everyone will modify their memory to obtain happiness, forget misfortune, forget pain, and forget guilt. I can do it too. I feel the powerlessness of lenny.
If lenny really exists in the world, I don't think I'll be able to say anything if I see him.

    It is purer than Inception, which is to be made into an intellectual game, a high-end suspense film. But what surprised me more was the allusion behind this short-term amnesia. If the common historical memory of a community is cut, split, and uprooted time and time again, will we also be like Reiner? Is it possible for us to hate innocent people and get close to our real enemies? How to restore the facts? Can the facts be restored?

    (It's nothing more than an endless fake play directed and performed by a sick person, until the audience suddenly realizes and sighs for the protagonist.)
