Remake of "Memento," 2/19-2/23 by https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt Daily reflections on the film en-us 2018-02-22 20:00:55 UTC 2018-02-22 20:11:49 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Watchclock.png Day 1 christy_stewart https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462383 How is the film different from the short story so far?    Do you think the film or the story does a better job of making you sympathize with the lead character's retrograde amnesia?  Explain.

The film not only takes you inside of the lead character's mind but also taps into his feelings a little more than the short story giving off the illusion that his condition is worse than you think.]]> 2018-02-22 20:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462383 Day 2 christy_stewart https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462384 What role does "Sammy Jenkis" fulfill in the movie  that doesn't exist in the book ?  Does this make the "amnesiac assassin" plot more believable in the movie?

Sammy fits the position of a person with Lenny's condition. Using Sammy makes the storytelling easier when you don't have to refer to yourself.]]> 2018-02-22 20:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462384 Day 3 christy_stewart https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462385 Do you find Natalie to be a sympathetic character?  Explain.

Natalie is not as sympathetic towards the end of the story vs the beginning. In the beginning, she seems to be helping Lenny out of pity & kindness. By the end, she is abusing his condition and manipulating him to her expense.]]> 2018-02-22 20:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462385 Final Day christy_stewart https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462386 Who is a more sympathetic character, Lennie or Earl?  What elements from either story make you feel that way?

Lenny is a more sympathetic character simply because throughout the film, he was continuously told who he could and could not trust. But even though he wrote it down, he could not figure out who had his best interest at heart and ended up believing everyone.]]> 2018-02-22 20:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/christy_stewart/t3l3xz2oq7rt/wish/234462386
