the forgotten

Rented a movie today: the forgotten. About a 1/4 way into it the movie started to get really interesting involving the NSA federal agents and all. It wasn't the best suspense movie I've seen - I've seen better, such as: The Others or Hide and Seek. About halfway through the movie my roommate says he's too tired and goes to bed, as usual, leaving me all by myself to watch it alone in the dark (I hate it when he does this during a horror movie, but then again I guess I could just turn the lights on). It turns out that the movie was just OK at best. But if I were to sum this up in one word, I'd say motherly love. Okay so may two words. The whole movie is about motherly love and how it is one of the strongest human emotions we possess. I know, hard to believe with a movie categorized as suspense. Anyhow, it got me thinking just how this is true. When every person is telling you to forget and let go, just like in the movie, we do the exact opposite - we remember and we hold on.
