This movie was suggested to me by a friend and I've seen the movie but I had no idea that it was based on a actual event. 50 first dates is based on a story of 2 people who's names are. Ian and Michelle Philpots. She had been in one motorcycle accidents and one car accident causing her to have severe head trauma and memory lost, every morning she wakes up not remember anything that happen the day before and every morning her husband has to convince her their married and when she doesn't believe him, he will shows her their wedding photos. Luckily they were dating before her memory lost so it wasn't like in the movie where she would be waking up to a total stranger every morning. To be able to keep up with everything going on Michelle writes several post-it notes and reminders on her phone. In the movie Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore and up having a kid but in reality the couple did not have any children. Like my last blog about the movie The Vow with Channing Tatum who play the husband and Rachel McAdam who play the wife it's about love but this time it's a little different in this case Adam Sandler wasn't married to Drew Barrymore at that point and because of her short term memory lost Drew forgot everything that happen the day before so it was sort of like she was living the same day over and over again. But in the Vow Rachel McAdam had a long term memory lost making her unable to remember her marriage and life with her husband. I honestly don't know what I would do in Adams place, because you would have to be super patient and I could do that but because they had a kid, I think it would be really hard on the kid because one of their parents doesn't even know they exist until someone explains it to them. And it would be sad because they wouldn't remember all the thing they've done together not only for the kid but for the family in general. I like the idea of making a video to watch every morning to remind her of things so that she has proof and it's not just someone saying oh yeah we're married and we have a kid.
