Reaction Paper One
I thought "Memory" by Kim Zorn Caputo was very thought provoking and so true.
"Memory is the force behind making art - the drive not to forget. To escape the structure of history and reorder the events of our lives, documenting them again and again while longing to return to what is missing" Kim Zorn Caputo.
I have recently experienced something similar to this, but I don't know how to describe it - Not to mention that its too personal to share. So I thought of something else - an example to share that's more relate able and well known.
It reminded me of a comedy starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler - 50 First Dates. They go out on several dates, but she does not remember him. They have a conflict and part. Anyway, near the end of the film, she invites him into her studio. He is dumbfounded by all the paintings of his image. She recognizes him from the paintings she had previously created from her memory and wants to know who he is. Yeah, it's just a movie but it still resonates with the article.
you are so right. 50 first dates was a great movie and really correlates with this story. Very well put.
ReplyDeletePictures definately remind us of the good or bad that may have been captured! It is funny how minds can think alike, I made the same connection with 50 first dates :)
