Final Reflection

I have learned how to use the useful sources to find more information on anterograde amnesia. It helped me out to build my paper and it was more detailed on the recovery process. The film itself was very dramatized and inaccurate. My college-level research has changed because now I learned how to build my paper by pieces. I actually think this is a great class. It shows you what it is to build your research paper into pieces with your milestones. It showed me how to go beyond google to use factual sources such as JSTOR, LexisNexis or Gale Virtual Research Library. These are useful tools and there are real life case stories that you can compare and contrast the difference between hollywood vs. real life medical conditions.

My Final Research Game Plan

In the film Memento I will argue on the representation of Anterograde Amnesia to show how inaccurate it is and is mostly used as a way to play with memory and truth. I will be using my sources to make a connection and show a comparison between what is it to live under the extreme conditions of Anterograde Amnesia vs. the portrayal on Hollywood.

My Research Topic

After doing some research and browsing through all the various topics, the research topic that stands out to me the most is "Portraying Humans In Film" specifically on anterograde amnesia. I will be using the Film of Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000) as my fundamental source. In Memento I will be studying anterograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is the lost of the capacity to make new recollections after the occasion that brought about the amnesia, prompting a halfway or complete inability to review the later past, while long-term recollection from before the event remain complete. In the film Memento, a man suffers from memory loss. So anything he does today he won't remember tomorrow. The only way he is able to remember about what he has done is if he writes it down on a note pad. All he remembers is that he was a insurance investigator and his goal is to find the guy that murder his wife but because of his anterograde amnesia it is difficult for him.
