The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1325 Colorful
Joel is on the run, taking Clementine with him, traveling through his shameful, unforgettable and happy memories, running madly with all his strength.

Crazy, wanton, full of imagination, traveling through time and space like Peter Pan.

However, the erasure of memory is already underway and they have nowhere to escape.

Dr. Howard's actions are extraordinary. He is always able to find Joel and Clementine who is trying to hide in the deepest part of his memory. The situation is finally under control a little.

Stan noticed that Mary's eyes were always lingering on Dr. Howard.

He felt like he should be under the car.

So Stan left the apartment under the pretext of going out for some fresh air.

Sure enough, Mary seized the opportunity and began to flatter Dr. Howard, completely unable to conceal her admiration. She was as incoherent and excited as a little girl seeing her idol.

In the end, Mary couldn't control herself and threw herself into his arms.

But after the kiss, Mary immediately regretted it, holding her cheeks with a look of annoyance, thinking that she should not have crossed the line.

The doctor reached out and cupped Mary's cheeks, offering a kiss to comfort her.

Outside the window, this scene fell into Stan's eyes, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

But what was worse was that another car drove over and stopped on the side of the road. Stan saw it and had no time to worry about his sadness and bitterness. He panicked.

That's the doctor's wife.

She witnessed this scene, exchanged a look with Stan, and punched Stan hard, "Thank you, Stan, thank you very much!"

Stan fell to the ground, but the doctor's wife did not stay. She turned away with a broken and sad look, and returned to the driver's seat to drive away.

The noise outside the window startled the night sky, and also startled Dr. Howard and Mary.

The doctor rushed out and grabbed his wife's car, trying to explain that he was really here for work, one hundred percent, and he had no idea Mary was here.

Then Mary rushed out, too, trying to explain, shouting at the doctor's wife.

"I was just a stupid girl who loved him. I pushed him into everything, and he just gave in half-heartedly."

The doctor's wife, who was about to leave, turned off the engine and pulled the handbrake to stop the car, looking at the doctor with a mocking look on her face.

"Howard, stop being a monster and tell her."

Howard was stunned.

Mary, "Tell me what?"

The doctor's wife laughed bitterly. "Oh, poor child." Then she looked at Mary. "You can have him. You once had him."

After saying that, the doctor's wife released the handbrake, leaving only the car's taillights flickering in the night.

Mary didn't understand, and her eyes and expression were full of confusion.

Until this moment, Dr. Howard let out a sigh of relief, and then he stammered and explained:
They had a relationship. Then Mary erased her memory at the Forgetfulness Clinic and said she didn't mind continuing to work at the clinic.

The doctor didn't have the heart to continue talking about the rest, nor did he know how to continue, so he swallowed it back into his stomach vaguely.

Then, under the pretext of work, the doctor returned to Joel's apartment.

Mary stood there in a daze, as if her soul had left her body.

Even when Stan came over to express his concern, the focus in Mary's eyes was still lost, without any light, and finally she turned and left silently.

So, do people really step into the same river?

The camera turns around and seems to return to Joel's brain world. But... is it true?

Blair is skeptical: Joel's costume!
He is wearing a neatly dressed suit and tie, looking serious, rigid and reserved; although Clementine still has red hair, the bright red color is slightly different, as if it is burning wildly like vitality; at the same time, Joel's outfit is completely different from all the styles in the movies so far.

A subtle but objective difference.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t notice these details, because the atmosphere between Joel and Clementine is completely different.

This doesn't look like two people traveling through Joel's memories; nor does it look like any encounter between Joel and Clementine so far in the movie.

So, is this another disruption of the timeline? Did Dr. Howard's memory-erasing procedure extend to the part where the two people just met?
Wow!

There is no doubt that this is a magical movie. The timeline is completely disrupted, and the barriers between fantasy and reality, imagination and science fiction are completely broken. The characters travel through different plots. It seems chaotic, but in fact there is a framework and a main line inside, which slowly and orderly connects all the plots in a colorful way.

Yes, colorful.

It’s a strange adjective, but it perfectly fits the unique temperament of this movie.

As the conversation progressed, Blair's thoughts became more and more turbulent. It seemed as if... it was as if Joel and Clementine were not dating yet.

These conversations seem to be exchanges between Joel and Clementine, but at the same time they seem to be discussing the complicated relationship between Dr. Howard and Mary.

Who could have imagined that in the movie, the characters themselves broke the fourth wall between each other, and through the pen of the screenwriter, the plot was connected.

Joel took the initiative to come to Barnes & Noble to look for Clementine and found Clementine sorting books.

Clementine was slightly surprised, "I thought you didn't want to see me again."

"You may feel ashamed, after all... you ran away on the spot."

Joel seemed reserved. He was not shy or excited, but rather stiff and serious. He seemed a little cautious, as if this was the true state of him when he met Clementine. "I just want to see you again..."

Clementine was different. She was generous, frank, and bright. The volume, tone, and tonality of her voice were completely different. "And then?"

Joel, “I wanted to, uh, ask you out.”

Clementine, "You're married."

Huh!
The entire Angelica Film Center was stunned, as if everything they knew had been overturned, and they had no idea what was going on:

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
Immediately confused!

They watched the entire movie without knowing what was going on in front of them. They had never felt so clearly like a fool:
Is Joel married? When, to whom, and what is the marital status?
It was not easy to learn from the few words that Joel had been dating a woman named Naomi, but marriage? Never mentioned.

Wait, are Joel and Clementine reenacting the scene with Mary and Dr. Howard?
In just a short moment, a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind, his breath was cut short, and the entire audience fell silent.

Joel shook his head slightly, "No, not yet. I'm not married."

Angelica Film Center: Huh…

Clementine turned around and stepped forward aggressively, so that Joel's steps continued to retreat. "I'm going to be straightforward and make things clear. I'm serious. I'm not going to interfere with your marriage, no matter what you think."

"If you want to be with me, then be with me."

Decisive, straightforward, and drew a clear line early on——

If this is Joel and Clementine's true memory of the early days of their acquaintance, it would be completely different from the scene on the train at the beginning of the movie.

It's not Clementine who pursues Joel, but Joel who pursues Clementine.
