The movie memento HELLLLPPPPP?

how does the movie portray various ideas of memory and memory loss,,, such as short and long term memory, declarative and procedural memory and anterograde amnesia...... help please that movie is so confusingThe movie memento HELLLLPPPPP?
this is my favorite movie of ALL time. no joke. i watch it all the time and i would have to say the short term memory loss is the most obvious because he will wake up the next day and not know what just happened so he has to get tattoos to help him remember. it portrays the loss of declarative memory because he gets facts and nonfacts mixed up and he will believe something that may not be true because he doesnt have the ability to remember. the procedural memory loss is what i can't think of any examples of because he remembers how to do everything. he always remembers how to get tattoos and how to remind himself of things that he will forget. so i'm not sure what to say about that..



he displays the anterograde amnesia because he remembers everything that happened up until the killing of his wife. after that he doesnt remember anything that comes to him short term.



i hope i helped you out!! i absolutely love this movie!The movie memento HELLLLPPPPP?
Obviously he has short term memory lost because whenever he wakes up in the morning he doesn't remember anything that happened the previous day. So he gets tatoos to help him remember and that triggers his long term memory.



I would help more, but I've only seen the movie once.
