__50 First Dates__ This movie is about a girl (Drew Barymore) who was in a car accident that caused a major injury to her brain. Now, she is only able to remember what happened before the accident. She spends every day of her life exactly how she did the day of the accident. Believing t is her dad’s birthday and that she teaches at a school. During the movie the character played by Adam Sandler falls in love with the girl. He insists that he can make her remember things or at least make it so she doesn’t have to repeat the same routine everyday of her life. He begins to show her a movie of what happened to her and what had happened the days that they meet. The Story pertains to our class in that it shows the effects of antrograde amnesia. Which is the loss of memory from the point of injury .People with this type of amnesia have trouble remembering anything new, just like Lucy did in the movie when she thought every day was the day of her accident.
