's fragmented editing is a great challenge for me, speaking human words is... I can't understand. Although I have a general understanding of the content of the film from many film reviews, the feeling of "It turns out that OMG are we watching the same film" is really uncomfortable.
Very interested in this setting, if I am a person with no short-term memory, how can I survive? If you don't record everything you have done, you will easily be used by others. But if the whole life is being recorded, what is there to record?
What does memory mean to us? Do people's existence and behavior need to be proved by memory? If you lose all this, it is like a small boat floating in the sea, not knowing why you are here, not knowing where you are going, not knowing what to do, not knowing who to trust.
Memory is what drives the story. We know the rules of the world, who we are, who we are, the people around us, the interesting aspects of things, and the feeling of love and pain... Only by remembering these can we grow and progress on this basis, and explore more wide world. Without memory, it is like living at the starting point forever, practicing the most basic lessons over and over again, then forgetting and unable to move forward.
Those who often say that they want to forget everything, do they really want to live every day in this world, how precious are the memories they have? Today is different from yesterday because today's memory is unique.
Cherish who you are today and all the memories you have in your life to create a better future.
