How inaccurate is human memory? What you saw or did with your own eyes one second ago is very likely to be out of shape in your memory the next second. The content of memory is only what we want or are accustomed to believe, far from objective reality. In Momento, this point is vividly expounded: the male protagonist who can only maintain short-term memory also understands in the moment of recall that he can only create the "fact" he wants to remember, and this "fact" belongs only to He only belongs to him at this cut-off point. Human consciousness is one of the most complex things in the entire universe. In addition to having energy beyond our comprehension, consciousness is itself a form of physical existence. The film starts with the most basic questions: "Who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go?" All kinds of incredible memory fragments are derived - the protagonist has to repeatedly confirm his identity and origin every day. Find a goal/destination for survival. This may seem absurd, but it is actually a reflection of our state of existence as human beings. Living is such a process; history is also such a process. We all think that we are rigorously searching for the truth along the clues, but every time the truth we find is just a smug about ourselves.
