Memento

Memory is one of the important things in the life of a human being, as it is the most important theme in the film Memento. Memory creates our future. Without it we could go nowhere. Without Leonard’s system of mini-stories of his life, he would be going nowhere. That said, he is going nowhere,by creating his own story that he will be condemned to follow. This is similar to the average person. I believe that people can consciously or subconsciously, mess with their memory. We can remember what we want to, block out the things we would rather not mentally deal with, or even change details of our life. While there is the possibility of making false memories, memory can also plainly happen to be false. Every story you here, if it is told from multiple people, there is bound to be some differences. Memory in a way has some power over our minds, similar to Leonards situation of mind having no control over memory.
