Amnesia can be a symptom of several neurodegenerative diseases; however, people whose primary symptom is memory loss (amnesiacs), typically remain lucid and retain their sense of self.
In some ways, this form of amnesia is the opposite of anterograde amnesia: the victim can recall events that occurred after a trauma, but cannot remember previously familiar information or the events preceding the trauma.
Depending on the degree of amnesia and its cause, victims may be able to lead relatively normal lives.

 BODY STORY - Crash: 'Amnesia'
Amnesia (memory loss) is usually one of the first problems people experience after a head injury, and it is one of the last of the cognitive functions — that is, functions to do with knowing and being aware — to return.
Unlike amnesia due to emotional trauma, amnesia that results from a brain injury cannot be rectified with hypnosis or counselling.
With retrograde amnesia, some patients find that, at first, they cannot recall events that occurred months or years prior to the onset of their memory loss, but that over time the forgotten period shrinks to weeks, days or even hours.

Primarily, the advent of cinema imposed this new condition upon its audience by isolating the origin (the projecting equipment) in a separate booth and making its audience far less conscious of the fact that the image was projected.
