Memory is like a magic box

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2005)

Memory is like a magic box that you cannot define the limits of storing information into it, but what if after a brain damage occurring all off a sudden, all the magic of being limitless to form new autobiographical memories is taken away from you? Needless to say, you will be 'sentenced' to live with old memories and search for the 'facts' that would be the only stable things in your life. As a psychology student who is interested in cognition and this magic box of memory, I recommend the ones who haven't watched the film, to understand how hard it can be for a person to find the motivation of going on his life by recreating new facts in his new 'condition' ,as Nolan puts it to use. As one of my professors said to us, reorganizing and somehow recreating our past is may be a necessary thing to go on living. Sometimes, forgetting can be a good thing. Isn't it?:)
