What
an amazing movie. This movie has a few messages that we can take
home from it. The music was fascinating too. One of the best lines:
"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."
One
of the main messages of the film is that, no matter the flaws that
we see in someone, we should love them more, despite that, and sometimes
because of those flaws. It's so easy sometimes to look at things
and think that things would be better, were they different, but
we have to hold on to things, even if they could be bad, because
of the good that is in them.
There
is also a very strong message of life within.. this film is very
pro-life. It shows how sometimes we could take technology too far,
and by removing the bad experiences from our lives, we're not growing
from them, or learning from them, everything becomes chaotic. Things
don't feel quite right. Holding onto your memories is important.
It makes us into who we are, and who we will become. We learn how
to act, what we need, and what we must do.
This
films message is that of unconditional love. Everyone has flaws,
everyone makes mistakes. Another message that this film has, is
that even though our lives may seem uneventful, like we're not interesting,
or even if we feel like we've got nothing to say, we can still find
love, adventure, and excitement. It also teaches us to live life
to the full. Don't be afraid to try new things. I'm not talking
about going against your morals, but rather, doing things that you
might be afraid to do. It just might help you in the end. There
is more to this movie than just that, I'm just scratching the surface.
You
can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart
is another story.
