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.
