The first thing I think about every day when I wake up is not "what to eat today", but "where am I".
Then through the notes, tattoos and strung together pieces, to assemble all the information related to themselves.
Such a life is bad enough to think about.
But this is exactly what the male protagonist of "Memory Fragments" has to repeat every day.
The colors are flashbacks, intertwined with black and white memories at the end.
The mystery of the story is also hidden in a shot of less than a second in the movie - the person who suffers from short-term amnesia and kills his wife because of it is the protagonist himself.
It's just that he doesn't want to accept this reality.
So when he sat in the victim's car and wrote to Teddy with a meaningful smile, "Don't believe this man's lies", he knew better than anyone what the end of Teddy faced was: he was marginalized by himself again and again, and he was likely to be killed by himself.
But it was clear that this was the result he wanted.
What he wanted, of course, was not just for Teddy to die, but for all those who were trying to pull him out of this memory puzzle he had created himself.
He needs to use false memories to sustain a false life for the next few decades.
Death is probably the most obvious filter.
Especially for a person, a past event, once the other party in the clip leaves this world, she/he appears again in the memory of the color, there is a halo, but also a stronger subjective tendency.
Therefore, the protagonist's love for his wife has become the most fundamental reason why he cannot accept his "manslaughter".
And those memories of the truth also disappear as the protagonist's subjective memory is tampered with.
Strictly speaking, the so-called truth is already gone with the wind the second things are over.
The information left behind, whether relayed or recorded, is subject to various subjective processes.
From this perspective, the vast majority of ordinary people in real life, like the protagonist of "Memory Fragments": live in the illusion of self-deception and self-creation.
A whole bunch of easter eggs
Because I was recently burned by Nolan's "Creed", I turned out all of Nordson's movies and watched them.
The original look and feel of this "Fragment of Memory" is very clear, just one word: cow.
Now it seems that Nolan has long put his ambitions and thoughts into each of his films like fragments.
Coincidentally, "Creed" is Nolan's 11th feature film.
This number looks like a node in a loop, and it's like a prelude to a new round.
The end is the beginning, and destruction is the rebirth.
Looking at Nolan's few past works, the most controversial is the ongoing "Creed".
Neither the hardcore full-spoiler analysis nor the metaphysical "sensibility" can put the whole of a movie on the table.
This has nothing to do with the simplicity and complexity of the movie, but in response to the words that have been said countless times:
What kind of experience you have, what kind of movies you will see.
Every time we look at the screen, it may be a matter of opinion whether we see the work carefully created by the director and the production staff behind the scenes, or a microcosm of the past that we ourselves want to see.
But it cannot be denied: in the hearts of a thousand people, there are more than a thousand Hamlets. Whatever exists, the same answer will not be given in everyone's concept.
Like the stone tablet in the ruins of Pompeii – the basic elements are fixed, combined at random, and the results are completely different.

And don't forget What Nolan said about himself:
I'm not only a director, I'm also a person with the ability to think.
