Dawson..Rose Dawson

I happened to watch the Titanic today again after almost 10 years. Not that I haven't had many chances to watch it. I just wanted to preserve the experience I had when I saw it the first couple of times.

So I was watching it and towards the end one of the stewards asks Kate Winslet her name for the survivors' list and even before she answers him I could recall her reply the exact same way she does. I had absolutely no clue how I did that. I didn't think I would remember Jack's last name from 10 years ago. But yet I could. To me this in fact proves how much a movie can impact someone. All that had happened earlier in the movie - the romance, the love, the grief, the tragedies everything rolled itself into one tiny little memory of a dialogue for me and it was this "Dawson..Rose Dawson".

I am sure there are many more influences as such stored away. Brad Pitt's "Tyler Durden" from the movie "Fight Club" is one I can recall from the top of my head.
