Title: A flight from responsibility is often the response to extreme trauma
Review: This analysis by a young criminologist writing her PhD on an unsolved mystery provides lots of questions about the way the psyche responds to trauma. Actually there are several layers of flight from reality which makes this case so interesting and confusing. Having experienced amnesia myself due to a fatal auto accident which killed my friend, this film spoke to my experience. Unlike the main character I had a supportive grandmother and girlfriend who made it easier to assimilate the horror and regain my memory. Self-love is a key factor in wanting to remember who we are. We have something good to return to. This young man has none of these things and his anmesia is his refuge as well as his prision. Definitely makes us think about our lives, our loves, and how we create ourselves through our actions.
