 Everywhere, USA, January 2012— What do films such as Total Recall, The Notebook, Gothika, Inception, Anastasia, Memento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind — and The Bourne Trilogy, have in common?
Besides earning big at the box office, they all invoke memory loss as part of their message. Even though amnesia and other situations that involve memory loss are not common, they’ve been featured often in films, dating back to the pre-1927 silent features. While most professionals conclude that cinematic depictions of memory loss bear no resemblance to the real thing, filmgoers continue to flock to the theatres when the plot involves memory. www.prevagen.com What is it that draws us to the multiplex? For one thing, there’s the emotion of it; to become familiar with two or more characters as we sit in the audience, only to discover sooner or later than one does not remember the other— is intriguing. None of us would ever want to experience such a thing, but living vicariously is something else altogether. Then there’s the mystery wrapped around it: How strange would it be to have this affliction, and just thinking about it, during and following the film, can be an experience in and of itself. In short, as long as it doesn’t happen to you, it’s interesting and if you’ll excuse the obvious, thought-provoking, then it’s okay, right? And to prevent the former, let us recommend Prevagen. As a user of Prevagen for three years recently said, “Even though I have most of my faculties about me, I’m still amazed when I can remember names, incidents and numbers in half the time than I could previously. I was always good at recalling faces, but names were a bugaboo – until now.” To learn more, visit www.prevagen.com SOURCE: Prevagen’s Jellyfish Times
