I don't think it's a coincidence that three of the biggest films this year have all revolved around memory loss. If you don't know why, you may be falling victim to the same fate as these characters. Philosopher Mark Fisher first noticed this pattern occurring in the early 2000s where all of the popular and culturally significant movies all featured the same theme of memory loss. And he believed that this was an expression of a collective cultural anxiety that we were essentially collectively losing our historical memory. And the culprit of this was what he thought was the uprising media or the TV shows, the entertainment which was replacing the truth in the historical narrative for just spectacle and entertainment. And this began to grow increasingly more concerning once he realized that very important events that were occurring in the world were completely being faded and diluted out of the public's view. This is not just something that began to uprise in the early 2000s. I think this is more prominent today than any other period in history.
