Review of Memories
I'm writing this review mainly to unpack what I just watched. I would suggest watching the full 3 episodes, just over 1.5h, all together to get the intended effect (or what I assume is intended). Under the title of Memories 3 different experiences are shown, they each left me in an entirely different mind space but upon reflection showed us sides of the same coin. If the coin is an emotion/behavior/way of looking at the world. I want to talk about the connections between the episodes and to do that I'll do a brief statement on the verdict of each. This could be considered a SPOILER,maybe.
1. a character struggles to face reality given his relationships -> chaos ensues
2. MC is a victim of unlikely circumstances and disorganization. No one succeeds in explaining the situation to him leading to mass casualties.
3. in a world focused on a singular goal with little information other that his role in the grand plan a character is unable to fight the tide that (we assume) will lead to the early death of his family
I think what I like about this is the way it gives me the opportunity to think about what the director/writer's purpose was and to not really be sure if I got it right. The feeling of confusion and loss of control that I got from each MC was interesting in its uniqueness. This movie shows us how emotions or scenario descriptions can use the same words or have the same verdict but the way they make us feel can be completely different.
Watch this if you want to talk about/write about what you think about this movie. Otherwise, just watch a tv show that makes you think so you have time to consider what you just watched.
