I think the male lead needs to carry two recorders with him??
The key issue of the film "Memento" is to understand the difference between "psychological amnesia" and "physical amnesia". This is the main premise of the film, and the entire black and white part of the film is to express this problem. All the posts I saw about Memento were discussing whether Reiner was a good guy or a serial killer (if there are posts on the Internet that are similar to what I have discussed in this post, I am ignorant, I haven't seen it), but I ignored them. The major premise of Reiner's illness (or not understood), so the discussion is not clear at all, and it is impossible to draw the correct conclusion of the movie plot. The black and white part of the movie clearly tells us that the so-called "psychological amnesia" is like Sammy (Sami is half-truth and has real prototypes, but most of them are images imagined by Reiner based on his own experiences), and he can recover. But before recovery, it is impossible to remember things through the "inertial memory method". Because the root of this disease is that the patient does not want to remember, so it is impossible to remember. The so-called "physiological amnesia" means that the patient cannot recover, but can remember things repeated countless times through "inertia". And Reiner is first of all a patient with "physiological amnesia", that is to say, Reiner can use the "inertial memory method" to remember things that have been repeated countless times. This is the "inertia" problem that the film repeatedly emphasizes through Reiner's mouth, but unfortunately most of them ignore this key issue. After clarifying these two concepts, let me speculate on the story before the movie story happened. That night, two gangsters broke into Reiner's house. Reiner was woken up, followed the sound and took a gun to the bathroom. He killed one gangster, and then was stunned by another gangster. Reiner saw his wife fall to the ground before falling unconscious. Still blinking, but don't know if it's dead or alive (the detail of blinking is very critical, and will be explained below). The attack caused Reiner's memory deficit, which is Reiner's last memory. Reiner's wife did not die at the time and recovered quickly, but Reiner suffered from "physical amnesia". In order to treat Reiner's disease, his wife deliberately let Reiner give her repeated injections, and his wife was injected alive by Reiner. Reiner has since been sent to a nursing home. And Reiner's memory stayed on the night of the attack, unable to remember the fact that his wife had been killed by him. Of course, when he was in the nursing home, Reiner was amazed every ten minutes how he came to the nursing home. Reiner, who had forgotten that his wife was killed by him, first thought of every ten minutes to make sure that his beloved wife was safe. . Regrettably, the police report to him showed that his wife was killed by Reiner himself (these contents were later torn by Reiner himself, which will be discussed later). So Reiner was shocked every ten minutes in the sanatorium thereafter. I was surprised how I was admitted to a nursing home, and every ten minutes I read the police files, and every ten minutes I was shocked, distressed, and blamed for the fact that my wife was killed by my own hands. It goes on and on and on and on, and its pain is beyond the limits of human endurance. This kind of painful repetition every ten minutes, Reiner experiences at least 40,000 times a year. Therefore, it is in line with the "physiological amnesia" that patients can remember through repeated instillation and repetition of the "inertial memory method". So Reiner remembered the fact that his wife was killed by him. But apparently this fact is unbearable for Reiner, so Reiner pretends this fact to be a tragedy that happened to Sammy to escape reality. I don't know when Reiner started this imaginary Sammy. Obviously, since Reiner first had this idea, he has imagined it countless times since then. This is because Reiner's memory has stopped, so when faced with a thing, after having an idea, the second time will still have the first idea (similar to Sammy's first experiment when he was electrocuted and stretched out to the experimenter. The middle finger, and the middle finger is still stretched out countless times after that). So, when Reiner faced the fact that he killed his wife by hand in the police report, he first began to imagine the character of Sammy to escape, and this assumption has been repeated countless times since then. In this way, Reiner first remembered the fact that his wife was killed by himself through the "inertial memory method", and then still used the "inertial memory method" for countless times of hypothetical and self-hypnosis, and then twisted this fact into an imaginary that happened in Sa The tragedy on Mi, so the fact of killing his wife has nothing to do with Reiner, it becomes Sammy. This fact of burying his own murder, hypothetical Sammy's hypnosis, involves a series of problems. First of all, Reiner has to forget the fact that his wife has diabetes. Obviously, Reiner selectively forgot this fact and grafted it on Sammy. Stop writing here, we see that at this time, Reiner has a disease similar to "psychological amnesia" on the basis of "physical amnesia", and can selectively forget the memory before the memory problem (his wife has diabetes is obviously a problem. Long time ago, before Reiner had memory problems). At this point, we can conclude about Reiner's condition: Reiner's condition can't be recovered, but he can remember some repeated things (or fictitious things) through the "inertial memory method", and Reiner can selectively forget anything he doesn't want to remember (both and the fact that he killed his wife by mistake). In fact, Reiner has a bit of a split personality. There are hints in this movie. For example, Reiner made it clear to natalie that he didn't like the nickname "Lenny" that others called him and said, "Please call me Reiner, I My wife calls me Lenny" and said "I hate being called Lenny". Why, Lenny is the special nickname given to him by Lenny's beloved wife, and it is this guy who is nicknamed "Lenny" by his wife who killed his wife, so it can be seen that Lenny hates himself This "Lenny" (probably feels that he is not worthy of being loved by his wife), so he splits Reiner into "Linner" and "Lenny". The split "Lenny" was twisted into Sammy by Reiner himself. In short, the related problem of Reiner's distortion of his own wife killing can be explained by "psychological amnesia", split personality, or both. I won't continue the discussion here. In short, Reiner has a way to get things done that he doesn't want to remember. Continuing to the topic, Reiner remembered many things through the "inertial memory method" during his days in the nursing home. It's more of memorizing things like feelings, thoughts, conclusions (because Reiner can't remember complex things even through "inertial memory method", a conclusion, a feeling, a thought is obviously better than a large paragraph. good memory of the event). Reiner, for example, remembered the fact that he was a sufferer of "physiological amnesia" by watching police reports countless times. This is why Reiner has lost his memory, and why he still knows the detailed condition of his amnesia. It is still inertia. It was Reiner who remembered the "conclusion" of his amnesia. Lenny is the special nickname given to him by Reiner's beloved wife, and it was the one who was nicknamed "Lenny" by his wife who killed his wife, so it can be seen that Reiner hated himself as "Lenny". Nie" (probably felt that he did not deserve to be loved by his wife), so he also split Reiner into "Reiner" and "Lenny". The split "Lenny" was twisted into Sammy by Reiner himself. In short, the related problem of Reiner's distortion of his own wife killing can be explained by "psychological amnesia", split personality, or both. I won't continue the discussion here.
