Film that features the question of memory and/or remembrance

Choose a film that features the question of memory and/or remembrance. How does the film stage, configure or thematize this subject? Explore how the theme of memory (and its retrieval) is imbued with the film’s treatment of the other themes or dynamics (e.g., personal trauma, moral obligation or choice, national history, etc). Make sure you analyze specific film sequences to illuminate this connection.
Choose a film that focuses on the subject of love, affinity, understanding, or empathy. What is the film’s unique treatment? What is the backdrop against which this theme gains currency and significance? What crisis or dilemma does the communicative affect respond to or entail? What does the films’ scenario of love, understanding, or empathy inform us about the condition of the involved characters and their transformation? Structure your argument with concrete analysis of sequences.
Focus on the depiction of the (troubled) family in the film of your choice. How does the film define, formulate, complicate, and resolve problems within the family? In particular, what is the role (as well as the limit) of father, mother, or children in dealing with the predicament? Pay close attention to moments of tension or conflict to explicate the changing or changed contour of family dynamics and meanings.
