Have you ever had an experience that you wish never
happened? Of course you have; we all have. Would you want to erase it
completely from your mind? That question’s a little trickier to answer. Must be
why memory manipulation has been a science-fiction trope for as long as it has,
dealing with the many implications and philosophical musings attached to it.
Now, as I’ve made mention on this blog before, I see memories and the
long-lasting effects they have on personalities to be a fairly inherent thing;
I’ve been through some rather awful events in my own life, and yet I wouldn’t
dare touch any of it in my own mind because, for better or for worse, they
helped make me who I am today. Given how part of that includes my attitudes
towards media and the real world, feel free to question whether or not that’s
such a good thing. For right now, though, we have another psychological
thriller to get through; hopefully, my natural affinity for the genre will make
this at least worth watching.
