How many scenes do you remember in a movie?

Tools    





I think of you are 100% vested in a movie, you tend to remember more. Even with current movies like Abigail and Deadpool and Wolverine, I could probably do scene after scene.
Are you a big fan of Abigail?



A typical film? A typical viewing? A typical film is a disposable consumer product. In terms of memory, I tend to treat it as a disposable consumer product.

It's like popular music. I couldn't name, let alone remember half of the pop songs on the chart today. They all sound like the same autotuned concoctions, almost mathematically perfect in their hookiness, but also their banality.

It's like a toy in a happy meal when you're a kid. Initially, an object of interest, but quickly discarded as a simple and uninspired toy.

That stated, as forgettable as the vast majority may be, there are some tunes we know by heart, some films we know scene-by-scene, and some toys are cherished like Andy in Toy Story.

Basically memorized.

I think I'm the opposite, I feel like I could storyboard a lot of movies from memory.
Just out of curiosity, I'm thinking of a movie I saw once in March and I'm picturing maybe a dozen scenes or more?



If the movie is good, I would say at least 5-7. For bad movies, I might not even remember one until I look it up online to remember the whole thing was even about.
