Research Topic

The research topic idea I found mostly interesting and decided to work on is Research Paper Idea #2 -- Portraying Human Minds in Film. Research paper idea #2 is based on human minds; in this subject we are able to see what people think, feel, and experience their difficulties and how they are able to handle it or not. For example the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004). I never really understood the movie but I found it interesting because the protagonist Jim Carrey was in love with a girl but he no longer wanted to know her. So he goes to the doctor hoping there is a way to erase her from his memory for good. Apparently, there was a way to erase memories by using technology. He followed the procedure but then he realized that once he started there was no way back even if he wanted to. In this paper I will be able to research the neuroscience behind the film and learn more about the psychological world. By reading a bit of the movie summary I can tell how the main characters had a connection that most of us have today with others. Their connection and emotions led them to participate in such medical procedure. I'm looking forward to find out what type of disorders or memory illness can connect with the film.
