The truest saddest moment in this movie is a blink and you'll miss it moment. Sitting in the waiting room to get the memory erasing procedure done, people hold boxes of belongings from the person/memories they want erased. There's a few, but one is a middle aged man who's trying not to cry. His box contains a sports trophy.
It's most likely the man is there to erase the memory of his own SON, who obviously passed away. We all know that losing a child is the most emotionally painful thing a human being can go through. Could you imagine being in that much pain that you would ERASE EVERY SINGLE MEMORY OF YOUR BELOVED CHILD. You would give up the memory and love of the greatest thing in your entire life and your most precious memories, because that is the level of grief he is in. Truly losing his son to him forever is better than feeling the pain of his death.. I swear I'm hard pressed to think of anything so tragic and heartbreaking I've seen in a movie and it's done so subtly. Its only on film for less than 5 seconds they spend more time showing the woman erasing the memory of her dog so this was truly subtle. The film is pure work of art.
