有部電影叫記憶拼圖(memento),2000年的電影。
Leonard Shelby,的妻子遭到姦殺,Leonard趕過去搶救,但是失敗,且因為腦部受到重創而使得之後所有記憶都只能短暫的記個幾分鐘,因此他必須將所有的線索用拍立得拍下再加上註解,或是將之紋在身上,再或者是用紙條。
但是這些片段的記憶中,那些是真實?又有那些是謊言?是誰在幫他?又是誰在欺騙他? 這一切的一切,都得由他自己去一一找出

ps. 在NBA的勞資協議中有一種新的制度就叫做amnesty,中文翻成特赦,比方說某一個球員你簽了長約30M/year, 但他後來受傷了,傷好了之後表現不如預期,但合約又卡住薪資結構,這時候就有特赦的方式,可以釋出球員給別隊使用,讓其他隊競標而幫你出薪水給。 比方說,2013年湖人隊為了避免交豪華稅而特赦了 Metta World Peace.
