One slight problem...

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2003)

I really liked this movie, but I feel really compelled to point something out. We discussed anterograde amnesia (the condition that doesn't allow a brain to produce short-term memory) in my Psychology class in college, and if the main character really had this condition, he wouldn't remember. Seriously, a person with anterograde amnesia doesn't have the memory to even remember their condition. We read about a man who had this condition, and to study his behavior, researchers gave him a diary with a note on the cover that said, "Write in me when you get up." Every morning, when the man woke up, he wrote in the diary that it was the first morning after his operation. If Leonard really had anterograde amnesia, he wouldn't even have the memory to remember what the heck is wrong with him.
Yeah, I liked the movie, but this is something that I just can't forget.
