We Can Remember It for You Wholesale


                The story We Can Remember It for You  Wholesale reminds me about the movie Memento.  In memento the main character cannot create new memories and has created a system where he makes notes to himself about people and details.  This was done in order for him to find the man that killed his wife, which is the time where his short term memory malfunctions.  The reason for the text reminding me about the movie is that both main characters have a memory that was somehow erased and they both was to remember, or experience it again.  For Dick's character, he forgot about his past as an agent and his trip to Mars.  His subconscious can be used to explain why he wants to go to Mars so much as it is trying to make him remember what happened.   This is paralleled to the character in the movie with the notes.
