Warning: Spoilers
This movie clearly shows a world where, being able to record every person's words and actions and critically analyze them, can lead to the hard and harsh truth of things. Maybe Its for the greater good that we as humans are flawed, contradictory and biased. With a technology where a person's every action is recorded, you can over analyze and see these flaws. Its in almost every scientist, philosopher, investigator, detective's dream to get to the truth of things, but when it comes to the lives of regular people, some things just shouldn't be over analyzed. Most people aren't so nuanced in general (except when it comes to the important things), which is the reason for the flaws in their character. This is not only shown with Ffion's character, but other people in this movie as well, that get analyzed, with the main character replaying his memories.

Speaking of people not being nuanced - lets review this person's review of this movie: Gwendolyn8: ''The entire episode is an entitled white guy being alarmingly abusive towards his girlfriend in a massive fit of jealousy written by a male writer who actually thinks that this character is the protagonist and that the woman is a non-person story line prop and that the episode is really about something to the effect of how sometimes it's better not to remember certain things.''

-You're mistaking the word ''abuse'' with the word ''confrontation''. He is confronting her over his suspicion that she's cheating on him. Which in the end he proves that she does. Entitled? Entitled of the fact that he's being cuckolded by his girlfriend? If that's your idea of entitlement.. keep it to yourself.
