這部影片在鹿特丹影展一共在影院里看了三遍
天才般的結構設置和雲淡風輕的敘事
是對數字時代人們易碎易逝情感的寫真
隨意咔嚓就能拍出一張照片
於是我們拍了太多面目模糊也記不起場景的數字片存在硬盤里
不知何年何月想起了才會去翻檢
導演 Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit 帶著伍迪·艾倫式的眼鏡
才思敏捷，出口成章，並且完全沒有任何 mmm, uh, well, you know

Jz: How did you come up with the idea of this film?
NT: I think it was six years ago, when I went to Berlin Film Festival and had to stay in a hostel, I noticed a message on bulletin board from someone to another person: “Alex, I left the memory at the counter.” From then on, I was inspired. I know that the word “memory” here is like a memory card, or something, but it just read memory. And yeah, that made me think that, we put our memory in digital storage, more and more. But that year, it just started: you just use a flash drive, like a quite small storage. I didn’t get any more idea about it.
Five years later, when I was looking at my hardware, I had got, like, six hard drives before I edited the video. And I took a lot of digital photos more and more. Now I think if the drive crashes, everything would disappear. You know, in times of digital photos, it’ll be gone forever. Lots of data, many files, many things will be gone. It’s like we can’t trust the digital equipment, digital device because like a drive, when it’s gone, it’s gone. That made me think about the story more and more.
So when I wanted to make a feature film, I wanted to make a film that I was involved very much, and I wanted to tell a story in my era, that means, the digital era. Thus I started this project. Because for me, I am a child of digital era, when we take a digital photo, it’s like, we don’t really remember anything – we just put our memory in the file: when you snap, you snap, but actually, you can’t remember anything, you just snap, snap, snap and snap. You keep everything in your hard drive and then you forget.
Sometimes, when you look at a photo in your hard drive, you can’t remember why you took this photo. I think this is the way people remember things in digital era: we just take it and we don’t remember. Actually, sometimes, we can’t remember anything. We know we have a hard drive and we know we can keep it so we never check it and we actually can’t remember it. We record, but we don’t remember. This is our generation.
