Nolan’s Memento is the story of Leonard, a man who is struggling to track down his wife’s killer because he suffers from a rare case of memory loss called anterograde amnesia, which was caused by a blow to the side of the head by the people who murdered his wife. You can image would make it rather hard for this protagonist to play detective. Leonard attempts to resolve this handicap by keeping a file, map, Polaroid photos with specific notes on them, and he even goes as far as to tattoo facts that might lead up to his wife’s killer on his body. Midway into the movie Leonard is on the phone explaining to the person on the other what living feels like, “I don't even know how long she's been gone… but I don't want to wake up in the morning, thinking she's still here. I lie here not knowing … how long I've been alone. So how … how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can't … feel time?” (Memento)This point in the movie is very insightful when trying to understand the severity of his condition. Although, Nolan delivers the story in a very unique way, in the perceptive of Leonard, telling it in a reverse narrative leaves the audience as confused to what the clues he sees actually mean. Is Nolan still stereotyping (like the rest of Hollywood) only one part of this condition? And what is this condition actually caused by?

English Assignment

Disclaimer: I am still working on it...

Memento  is a story that focuses on Leonard, a man who struggling to track down his wife’s killer because he suffers from a rare case of memory loss, which makes it hard for him to play detective.  Anterograde Amnesia is caused by trauma to the brain resulting in memory loss (Anterograde Amnesia). Some of the difficulties a person with severe anterograde amnesia has to deal with are capture more honestly in this Nolan film then in most, but still lacks in full scope of the disease. After watching this film, I wondered how accurate is Hollywood’s portrayal of amnesia verses actual amnesia? And how much is your identity affected by it? An article from the British Medical Journal states, “In the real world, most profound amnesic synonyms have a clear neurological or psychiatric basis. True dissociative amnesia or fugue states are rare, but people with such conditions are able to learn new information and perform every day.” (Amnesic synonyms) Does Nolan’s movie break the Hollywood stereotype of this condition, or are there hints of it throughout this movie? This essay will debunk all the Hollywood misconception of what is viewed as amnesia, answer; what is anterograde amnesia? What are its symptoms? Whom does it affect? I think Memento could be considered an actuate glimpse into the world of a condition. Although, all the symptoms of this disease are not tackles in this film, the ones that are portrayed truthfully. Based on several popular and scholarly sources, I will argue that Christopher Nolan’s doesn't accurately depicts the symptoms of Anterograde Amnesia in his film.

I'll give it another crack by this week, so say tuned. Same bat channel.
