Section 249 Philosophical Love

The relationship between Patrick and Clementine in the movie makes people start to feel a little wonderful. Patrick can imitate Joel's words and steal Joel's things, but he can't really steal Joel's love after all.

In the movie, this has already been shown. In the movie, Clementine's hair color has changed once, and when her hair is orange, Joel gives her the nickname, which is very affectionate, but only those who know the background can understand the meaning. Clementine forgot these memories, and then called her Orange Girl, such a nickname, although intimate, but there was no way to move Clementine.

If there is anything more obvious, it is not impossible. In the movie, Joel and Clementine lie on the ice a total of two times, but the words are different both times. Words from the heart are different from learned lines after all, sweet words can be learned, but sweet feelings cannot be obtained by learning.

From beginning to end, Patrick has always hoped to get love by deception, he can do everything well, but in this way, he can't get real love at all.

Love is not something that can be obtained by deception.

And although Clementine has lost her memory, she still has feelings, and she can feel whether this is love or not. She interrupted Patrick, and she knew that it wasn't what she wanted.

People who erase their memories do not necessarily gain happiness.

This Joel has understood, and in his memory, he wants to stop the process.

In his memory, Joel found the doctor and wanted to stop erasing his memory, but the doctor was nothing more than his memory, and the process had already begun. Wandering through his memory, he could no longer return to reality, and he could no longer stop the process.

He could only try to keep Clementine in his memory, and in his memory, he found his red-haired girlfriend, and he confessed it to Clementine, and Clementine easily forgave him and helped him find a way.

And in memory, Clementine also helped him think of a method: since the erasure of memories is based on the model established by Joel about Clementine's memory, it is to erase all memories about Clementine without harming other memories, then keep Clementine in his other memories. That's fine.

Joel began to try to recall his childhood memories, remembering the scenes without Clementine, and wanted to put Clementine in his memory. This recollection brought him back to the age of four.

He succeeded in putting Clementine back into his other memories, but the problem was that the process seemed to cause his brain to start to mess up, and his thought patterns seemed to change back to when he was four years old.

This problem is quickly discovered by Stan and Mary, who are monitoring his memories from the outside world. Stan calls the doctor. I hope he will come and take care of these problems. This leads to another problem: Mary, who had been with Stan for a long time, immediately showed a completely different attitude towards Stan when she heard that the doctor was coming.

In the words, she showed her admiration for the doctor. Unlike when she treated Stan just now, this time Mary showed her feelings very clearly.

Stan apparently sees this feeling too, but. But he didn't say anything.

Joel in his memory is still in a chaotic memory, and everything around him seems to have begun to fall into a frenzy of fantasy. He couldn't control his thoughts, and in his memory, he could even lie down in the sink and take a shower - his memory was confused.

And all of this was changed by Dr. Howard, who arrived in the city. He controlled the further confusion of his memories and began to allow the process of erasing memories to resume there.

Joel begins his run again in memory, taking Clementine with him and trying to find a place to hide her. This time, he tried to recall the shameful memories that were deep and not easy to forget, and which might also keep Clementine.

However, it did not go well. The process of hiding did not go well, and Joel recalled his shame, but these things did not play a very good role in hiding Clementine. The doctor is here, he can stop this, the memories that should be gone are still gone, he is trying to remember, even at the expense of recalling the most shameful, the most undesirable memories, exposing those memories to people, but, even so, he can't keep them.

Lost love is not so easy to get back.

At this point, in the real world, the doctor seems to have triumphed. He does have better abilities than Stan and the others, which makes Mary unreservedly show her longing and love for doctors when facing them. She is very clear, and Stan can see her feelings, although he also has a deep affection for Mary, but he chooses to leave.

Mary, who remained here, was still affected by the residual marijuana, and she began to show an attitude towards the doctor's active pursuit. At first, she was still using celebrity quotes to express her attitude, but soon, she directly began to show her attitude and kissed the doctor.

The doctor responded, but then the doctor's wife arrived. The doctor and Mary hurriedly explained all this, but the wife revealed something that Mary could not accept.

Mary once cheated on the doctor, and after that, her memory has been erased once.

It's not the first time she's been obsessed with doctors.

This fact made Mary stunned, and for the audience, the part of the real story filmed in this movie is also explaining another truth of love to people: love is not something that can be easily forgotten. Even if the memory is gone, those feelings about lovers will not be forgotten. The love of the past can be forgotten, but the attractive places of the other party are still attractive places.

Memories can be erased, but the nature of human love cannot be changed so easily.

In her memory, Joel recalls the first time she asked Clementine to go out, and Clementine asked him to reassure that it was not a game, that she was not a person who would change easily, that she not be excited, that he accept herself, that he promise to last.

And Joel did not hesitate to make promises, and at that time, he did not understand the meaning of these promises—but immediately, Clementine disappeared—and the memories of that time were only fleeting, and now, Clementine had left him.

Joel began to realize that he had not fulfilled these promises. Clementine had seen through him a long time ago, and he really wanted Clementine to change.

However, people don't easily change their memories at the behest of others: Mary finds recordings of her past memories, and through these, she begins to try to understand her past memories. And listening to those memories and thinking of her current mood, she also realized that she was still as stupid as she was back then.

And in memory, Joel also returns to the place where he first met Clementine.

This time, Clementine had green hair, and here, he remembered his love affair with Clementine at first sight, and he finally understood that he could not keep this memory.

He remembered the first time he met Clementine, and it was a memory that belonged to them. At that time, Clementine had already begun to attract him, but at that time, he realized Clementine's influence on him, felt that Clementine could see through everything about him, and understood that he had no reservations in front of her - all these expressions of love frightened Joel, who didn't know what love was at that time, and even wanted to turn around and run away.

However, this time, in his memory, he was no longer in a hurry to escape. He turned around and said Clementine a final kiss goodbye. And this thing that is not in the memory at all also makes him finally remember the only word that has not been erased in the entire memory erasure.

See you at Montauk.

By this point, people have understood what the encounter at Montauk at the beginning of the film was all about. They began to understand why the two of them went to Montauk, and, moreover, began to understand why they were there, attracted to each other. It was the reunion of two people whose memories had been erased. And just as Mary will be attracted to the doctor again, although they no longer have each other's memories, they can still fall in love with each other after one meeting.

In each other's hearts, even if they have no memory, they still retain a fatal attraction - this is true love, which will not change because of any external conditions.

The flashback part of the movie finally ends here. The film goes back to the first 17 minutes, but this time, the film gives Mary a part, she leaves the clinic, and when she leaves, she takes more than one person's memory recordings.

She gave them back to those who erased their memories, including those of Clementine and Joel.

Joel and Clementine, who met again, also received these things, first Joel heard Clementine's evaluation of herself, and then Clementine heard Joel's evaluation of her.

The two suddenly discovered that love would deteriorate in a long-term relationship, and their feelings for each other began to deteriorate.

Once again, Clementine chose to leave.

This time, however, the difference was that Joel didn't let her go like that again. He chased it out. Then the two began to confess their problems in front of each other.

They are not perfect, they have shortcomings, and long-term relationships will still expose them.

But this time, Joel expressed his attitude towards those shortcomings in one sentence.

"That doesn't matter."

Yes, it doesn't matter - they can tolerate each other's shortcomings, they can tolerate each other's problems, love is not only attracting, but also tolerant.

Nothing else can change people, but love can. There really is love, then, what else is unchangeable?

This is true love. (To be continued......)
