Released in 2000 and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Guy Pierce, the film is a classic suspenseful brain-burning film.
As for the director Nolan, his movies must have not been seen and heard of, because "Interstellar", "Inception", "Batman The Dark Knight" are too famous, but few people know that this "Memory Fragment" is the famous work of Nolan.
During the preparation of the film, director Nolan aimed at the short story "Death Warning" that his brother had just written but had not yet released, and used it as the base of the film.
"Fragments of Memory" mentions a short-term amnesia disease, that someone will lose the ability to store short-term memory after experiencing a major accident, and the narrative of this film is based on this assumption. Director Nolan did not want to be a regular narrative in this film, but launched a narrative revolution, a simple story of revenge for his dead wife, he cut it into two large segments of color images and black and white images, which were subdivided into 45 small segments, and he also folded the timeline, the color images were in reverse order, the black and white images were in positive order, and then the color images and black and white images were interlaced, and the two timelines went hand in hand, so that the simple story became confusing, and the extreme fragmentation should also be in line with the title , to reach the atmosphere of fragmentation.
The opening of the film is the end of the story, the end of the film is actually the middle of the story, director Nolan's strong logic and narrative make this movie full of charm, if it is finished, the story will become very ordinary.
At the same time, the end of the film also introduces a profound theme, to live need a meaning, but this so-called meaning is imagined by oneself, so how to face it? Similar to the spiritual victory method of Ah Q in Mr. Lu Xun's novel.
The male protagonist suffering from "short-term memory loss" in the film relies on fragmented memories to find the murderer of his wife, but the story does not seem to be so simple.
I would highly recommend it for students who like suspense to watch.
