Journal entry on movies
Each journal entry will be 1-2 double spaced pages in 12 point font. The complete Application Assignment is due in Module 8. Please review the Rubric for these journal entries under PROGRESS for complete requirements.
For this week’s journal entry, lets go to the movies!!! Watch one of the films below:
The Bourne Identity
Memento
Total Recall
The Man without a Past
Hitchcocks Spellbound
Then answer the following questions:
1. Do the symptoms presented in the film fit with the information about brain damage and loss of specific aspects of memory you have learned in this module?
2. How accurate is Hollywood here?
Remember, that the goal of drama is to entertain not educate, so often there are many scientific liberties in film. For example, the movie Memento has both realistic and fictional symptoms as portrayed in the main character. Point out specific examples to support your points.
