Save a Day(下)

人類的記憶如果可以像燒錄光碟般暫存下來,有需要時才提取,重溫昔日的時光,會是怎麼樣的一回事?由James Cameron前妻Kathryn Bigelow執導的「末世紀暴潮Strange Days(1995)」便是講述一個這樣的故事。電影發生在公元二千年倒數前夕,那個時候,人類發明了能記錄/交換記憶的工具。市面上充斥著「黑市記憶販子」,提供另類「偷窺」服務。例如一個行屍走肉的白領,會花錢購買一個劫匪行劫的過程,去享受那第一身的官能刺激。而主角Ralph Fiennes則不斷重覆又重覆去回味與早已分手(死了?)的女友的溫馨日子,沉溺在回憶裡面。
有晚外出用膳,鄰座的母子雖然同枱吃飯,但那中學生模樣的兒子除了點菜以外,一句話也沒跟母親說過,只是垂頭玩著手機或PSP之類的東西。很多前輩同輩常慨嘆一代不如一代,我估三大元兇不離遊戲機、外傭、信用卡
可以想像治治終有一天會是這個樣子。我不知應該使出一記昇龍拳打爆他的遊戲機,還是悄悄結了賬離開,躲在家裡,找個角落,拿出記憶光碟,插進後腦,一邊抹著眼淚,一邊回味往日弄兒為樂的快樂時光。

Too much worry and made Toe a dull boy~~~
Treasure every moment with your kid,
Establish a life-long relationship from early childhood.
Sometimes I also go to playground with my daughter during weekdays. You'll observe so many things which missed in daily life.
(p.s. Your wife should be very jealous, but it is normal....)

It can't work in fact, that is exactly what I believe.
