This movie was so interesting to me for so many different reasons. One of the main ones being that I had ordered this movie previously about a year ago and I watched about the first 30 minutes and gave up on it and turned it off. This time around, when I was pretty much forced to watch the whole thing, I was glad I was pushed to do so. I found that I gave up too soon and I ended up loving the movie this time. Although it is so confusing at first and I still have loose ends that haven't been tied up for me, I still thought it was great. The characters are so complex and the acting is spectacular. The creators of the film made it so realistic that it almost seemed believable that a memory erasing procedure exists. Obviously it does not but the idea of it really made me think. The class discussed whether or not people should be allowed to have their memories erased and I still am conflicted by it. At first, I thought no way should that be allowed and that every memory is beneficial no matter good or bad because it molds people into who they are but as I started to listen to other classmates opinions, I saw the other side of the issue and came to the realization that some memories are just scarring to people. They may have helped people form into themselves, but these same memories may be holding people down or causing negative effects on them still and they may not be able to get over past experiences without this procedure. So once I thought about that side, I came to the conclusion that I think this procedure, if it was to be real, should only be able to be performed but only in extreme cases. Overall, I loved the movie. I thought the concept was wonderful along with the special effects and the acting. I now regret turning it off the first time because I thoroughly enjoyed the movie once I was able to see it in its entirety.

i agree, it was confusing at first, but as the movie goes on, you begin to understand what is happening.
