Somewhere at the back of my mind, lies a distant memory of seeing a movie that goes by a spectacularly whimsical name listed as someone's favourite movie. However, selective memory on the other hand had discreetly deleted how and when the memory came in place.
I just knew I had to catch it when I had the chance, which is what I did last weekend in the wee hours of the morning (Stupid tv station!)
Anyway, besides having a somewhat unconventional story with an interesting cast, what intrigued me most was the idea of erasing something from your memory forever.
As I lay awake after the movie (oh! the regrettable repercussions of mental stimulation!), I was wondering if given the chance to erase anything from my memory, what would it be?
And as I thought and thought (and lost hours of potential sleep in the process) I couldn't think of even one possible item or person I'd like to erase from my memory. If given a chance, would you want to erase any of your memories just so that you could move on?

definitely in my top 5 movies. My favourite thing about the movie is the idea that they would go through it all again, even though they know it won't work out - reaffirming that life is about the process not the end result. hmmm much watch it again myself
ReplyDeleteThere are two things I would erase, but I do try not to dwell on them or let them interfere with my life.
ReplyDeleteI like the gray and red on the template.
two things too. both people. both not worth mentioning beyond this.
ReplyDeleteaunty: I agree. I do love the way the movie was taken.
ReplyDeletetravis and silversabre: thanks for sharing
everyone and everything was there for a reason... :)
ReplyDeleteyou can't change who you were without destroying who you are. i have my fair share of bad memories, but i like who i am, so the answer is no.
ReplyDeletezewt: I totally agree... I believe that it also prevents us from making similar decisions that may contribute to a whole new series of pain
ReplyDeletecyberfish: "you can't change who you were without destroying who you are" - that's very true...
