12 Angry Men

In the movie the 12 angry men, people different perceptions of the same event are shown. Perception depends on memory, and each of the people in the movie has a different idea of what the real memory is. Because people have selective attention when it comes to an event, each person remembers something different. Everyone chooses to attend to differernt details. The movie demonstrates Broadbent's filter model becasue not everything goes into everyone's memory. We should watch the movie to see this demonstration of selective memory.

another great example of this is Akira Kurosawa's Rashoman(sp?), where the events leading up to a certain event and shows the story leading up to that event for several different characters
