I was afraid that when I would lose my memory, I wrote down the plot to remind myself. . .

Five because it's one of the few movies I can read with my IQ. The male protagonist drives a car and causes death. Guilt and fear make him lose his memory, insomnia, and finesse. The film tells how other personalities awakened from his subconscious help him recover his memory step by step. The male protagonist Reznick, who was operating a machine tool in a machine shop (maybe his job after the incident), drove a red firebird and killed the little boy Nicholas a year ago, because he used a cigarette lighter (this is a cause of hallucinations, delusions and ecstasy) When the cigarette was lit, he did not see the road conditions, and at the moment of the accident, he saw the mother of the child running in the background of the airport tower, and then he drove away. The police later reported that the car was damaged. The male protagonist's amnesia should start from the moment he escaped by car, passed through the tunnel, and entered the strong light (also a reference). For a year after the amnesia, Reznick suffered from insomnia and a dramatic weight loss. There are only two places where he can find a moment of peace, one real - Steph the prostitute's bed; one imaginary - he often detours to the airport cafe after get off work to order a cup of coffee (also a reference. ) and stare at it. The clock on the wall (a reference for sure) cycled between one-thirty-one and two, and he imagined that single mother Maria (who looked like Mother Nicholas, who had a child named Nicholas, of course) gave her her exclusive Serving and falling in love with him, going to the playground together - staring at the coffee at Steph's house and entering the playground - but not happy, Nicholas having a seizure, Maria galloping up - everything seems familiar. (Because he knew subconsciously that only by confessing everything to the child's mother can he truly be redeemed, and the playground's imagination came from his childhood memories of going to the playground with his mother. Nicholas's epileptic seizure is naturally a car accident image.). It's just that no matter who he is facing, Reznick dares not promise anything, because he is uneasy, and he doesn't know who he is, "What if I am a werewolf?" Memories can never disappear, just You just don't remember. So the moment he pressed the cigarette lighter on his other car, his second personality, Ai Wen's colleague, appeared. The vision about Ai Wen caused him to cause an accident in the workshop and abolished the hand of his colleague Miller. So he held a grudge against Ai Wen and tried every means to investigate the whereabouts of this person. He found a photo of Ai Wen and his other colleague Reynolds' fishing photo (of course, the photo is real, but the Ai Wen in it is actually him Own). So he had good reason to believe they were on fire against him, and a subsequent accident in the workshop that nearly maimed himself further deepened his suspicions and resentment against Reynolds. One day, the photo was lost in Steph's house. Reznick found it and thought Steph stole the photo as evidence, because Ewen was Steph's ex-husband and an accomplice in killing him. At the same time, Reznick's other personalities kept leaving notes for himself on the refrigerator (or maybe he wrote them unconsciously when he was writing down notes for buying bleach, paying electricity bills, etc.), which is a clue of gradual progress , the graphics are added to the end, it is the hanging, the text is added to the end, the killer is the murderer (during this period, he tried mother and suspected miller Miller). When tracking down Ai Wen, he remembered Ai Wen's license plate number, but after being hit by a car and qualified for the inquiry, he was told that it was the car he scrapped himself a year ago. Finally, he found that Ivan took Nicholas back to his apartment, thinking that Ivan killed Nicholas, so he killed Ivan (of course, killing his second personality, he was a hero again.) and in The fish he caught with Reynolds was found in the refrigerator. So the truth came out, he said to the repeated mirror: I know who you are. Surrender, positive ending. The male protagonist has the habit of writing post-it notes, so Ai Wen also uses this method to talk to the male protagonist. The male protagonist is obsessed with cleanliness, but no amount of 84 can wash away his sins. The time at the airport cafe goes back and forth at 1:30, and it is also 1:30 when I visit Maria's house, because the time of the car accident is 1:30. Of course, the accident is in the afternoon, and the coffee is in the early morning. The horror amusement project "Route 666" in the playground is named after the "Route 66" pendant of the red flamingo of the vehicle that caused the accident. The ride's broadcast: Route 666 will take you to hell. The car accident, guilt and other scenes inside made the male protagonist feel uncomfortable, and the memory fragments of the accident a year ago appeared in the strong light. The children's toys, glass bowls, and gramophone (what?) seen at Maria's house are actually the male protagonist's own, and they were all found when he was sorting things out before he turned himself in. In order to obtain the qualification to query the car information of "Ai Wen", the male protagonist injured himself, and the chosen perpetrator was a mother who was driving with her child. Dialogue with Maria in the cafe: "I have the urge to fly away", "When my true identity is exposed, someone will chase me", "Guilty is the most effective trick" is all about him, that's right .
