memento
prej ni interviste t'scientific american, n'lidhje me memorien:
SA: Do movies ever treat memory problems accurately? Memento (in which a man who can't form new memories tries to avenge his wife's murder) is a personal favorite.
JM: I've seen a number of movies in which memories are not supposed to be working properly and I have not yet seen one that is faithful to what we know about how memories work. Memento was very unfaithful. An amnesic cannot learn new information and this guy was randomly learning sometimes and not others. I was making note of it while watching the movie. He was doing things that he couldn't possibly do if he were amnesic because he wouldn't be able to remember to. Then there were other times in which they showed him as a classic amnesic in which he would repeatedly introduce himself to someone even though he had introduced himself many times. That's what the amnesic would do, but also he has this plan to do something; well, amnesiacs don't have the plan to do anything, because they can't even remember if they had breakfast. A true amnesic's life wouldn't be interesting because they have to be taken places--because they don't know where they are supposed to go. We forget that memories are required in order to make plans. You have to have an idea of what you intend to do. And what you intend to do is a memory.
If you lose the ability to recall your old memories then you have no life. You might as well be a rutabaga or a cabbage. And you see that when you see memories disappear in people who have severe brain diseases. You see the memories wilting away. They can't remember words, they can't remember the names of their family, then they can't remember to do anything, and then they become comatose and they die. Memory--there can be no doubt about it--is our most important set of abilities.
