Forgive and forget

EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED (2006)



"Everything is illuminated" is just like a movie you want to share with you close friends or family. The story is also about legacy and roots. Every issue it addressed looks trivial but with great percussions.



The protagonist (played by Elija Wood) kept collecting weird stuff in his plastic bags and said he was doing so lest he would lose these memories in the future. This kind of struck me because I suddenly realize that some people are trying so hard to forget while some people are scared to forget their endeared things.

"Eveything is illuminated" is something you would love when you appreciate the beauty of forgiveness and a mixture of infinte sadness and peace.

It's so hard to forgive,
Harder to forget.
