Psychology In Memento

|
|
“Psychology in MEMENTO” Memento is a film about the victim of a brain injury, Leonard who sustained an injury to the hippocampus when he attempted to stop the rape and “murder” of his wife. Leonard is left without the ability to form new memories. To cope with his condition and find his wife’s murderer Leonard creates an elaborate system of note taking, including maps, Polaroids, hand written notes, and even tattooing his body with clues of the murderer. However we discover that Leonard himself accidentally killed his wife and has created false memories by incorporating it to a former client of his Sammy Jankis. Subconsciously Leonard knows this fact and with the help of a detective, originally assigned to his wife’s rape case, John Gammell or “Teddy” Leonard becomes a killer. The form of diversion is what propels the film, in which to the viewer, is shown with its scenes told in reverse order. This, in effect puts you in the position similar to that of Leonard in which you must use your short term memory and remember what happened before is going to happen in the future. Many psychological elements exist within the film Memento. Elements such as manipulation, coping with the loss of a loved one, incorporating the use of classical conditioning, but none more so than memory.
