I've just watched THE FORGOTTEN and I'm shocked how strong can the mother-child relationship be...but 1st have to reflect its plot shortly: When a single mother, Telly Paretta, loses her 8-year-old son, she seeks the help of a psychiatrist to cope with the pain of her grief. Telly is then told by the psychiatrist and her husband that her son is merely a figment of her imagination, with her mind making up eight years of false memories. Telly discovers that all the images of her dead son, Sam, have been erased from the photographs scattered around her home, but she refuses to believe what she is being told. When she meets a father who has had another similar experience with his own disappearing daughter recently, so the two team up to try to find the answers behind the mystery...but let me continue...at the end it turns out that people are controlled by aliens who interfere in our lives by making different experiments on us. Aliens want to measure the feeling of longing and they take the memories away from people. They do it succesfully except for Telly who deliberately keeps in mind even the deepest memories of her pregnancy. The mother-child bond is exalted as a force that nothing can break. And at the ending, there’s a pro-life twist. A “memory thief” wants Telly’s “first memory” of Sam. He decides that that would be the memory of his birth. But even after that memory is stolen from her, she STILL remembers Sam, because she remembers back beyond that, to the time when life was growing inside of her...she says: "I had a life, I have a child, I have a son, he's name is Sam, son of a bitch". I'm wondering whether I'll be able to feel such a deep feelin' to my child someday. I believe that the stereotype of forgetful daddies doesn't suit my personality :)

The topic can be compared to the words sung by Britney in her new ballad "Someday":
"Someday I will understand, in god's whole plan and what he's done to me, oh but maybe someday I will breathe and I'll finally see, see it all in my baby"
