"I wish I'd stayed, too. NOW I wish I'd stayed. I wish I'd done a lot of things. I wish I'd... I wish I'd stayed... I do."





If given the chance to erase events in your life, would you?  Would you erase mistakes you'd made?  Would you erase ex's from your life?  Would you erase people who wronged you, or people you've wronged?

What if you erased your one true love?  Would your true love conquer all and would you come face to face again?  Would things be different this time around?  Or would you travel in the same pattern as before?  Would you meet them in Montauk?

If you found out someone erased you, would you erase them?  I'd like to think that I wouldn't.  I'd like to think that even if things ended sourly, I'd like to look back on the good, and remember to learn from the bad.  Things happen in your life for a reason, though you might not always know why.  I'd like to think my memories, good or bad, are something that I'd hold onto.  That they're something I'd use as learning experiences.

I've always wondered if people would erase me.  If I've ever been a bad enough experience to erase out of someone's life.  If I'd caused just that much hurt where someone would want no trace of me in their life.  Sometimes I think that might be true.  Sometimes I'm not sure.

Even though I feel like this movie is the ultimate meaning of a love story, it can go beyond just a romantic relationship with an individual.  It can go even with friends and family.  Even in the movie, a woman goes in to erase her mind after her dog passes away.  Would you take those losses and erase them out of your mind, just to get rid of the hurt you're going through in that small portion of time in your life?  Is it worth the risk?  The risk of forgetting the good things, just to get rid of the hurt?

Its asking the big question, "What if you erased me..."
