The history of society is in interaction with the individuals who make up that society. The influence of the past phenomenon is different in each individual, and this effect creates two opposite cultures that own opposite motivations: the culture of remembering and the culture of forgetting. The connection of cinema to the past is a matter that has been debated for many years. The past is reconstructed through cinema, and narrative of subjective history is generated via regeneration of realties.
