How much does Boo (Mary) remember?

[tmazanec1]

Given her apparent age at the time and the time which has passed...anything at all?

I guess it would depend on whether or not Sulley continued to visit her. Only a year had passed at the end of the movie, when Mike re-built the door to her room, and she still remembered "Kitty" at that time. If Sulley kept visiting on a regular basis, she would still be reminded of her visit to the Monster World, though to HER, it probably seemed no more different than a visit to a store in her town. If Sulley was only able to visit that one time, though, her memory of the whole thing would fade, and seem more like a dream, something she would not be certain if it was real, or imagined. As for whether or not she'd remember Randall or his role, if he was not specifically mentioned, she'd probably soon forget him entirely. He might only exist as some very dim memory, some feeling of unease upon seeing something purple-and-turquoise, for example, without knowing specifically WHY that color scheme bugged her.

Whenever I think about this, I'm always reminded of Return to Oz.
An apparent sequel to the Wizard of Oz, this movie is in more darker tone. Around the beginning, Dorothy's obsession with Oz has made her institutionalized and forced to suppress the "imaginary illusions". Although such a thing isn't considered as...well "insane" for the lack of a better term, as it is today, the result applies.

Boo....Mary probably remembers allot of what happen. Sullivan would probably visit her every night. COME ON...the guy STILL had feelings for her a year later. And seeing as how Boo remembered him a year later, she probably does remember what happened.

As for Randall....may be right Pitbulllady.
But wouldn't it be an interesting event that Mary would freak out in seeing something purple and blue, and tells Sullivan about it. Of course...this would lead Sullivan to recall Randall and think the events in a new way.....
Interesting...that would be an intriguing moment wouldn't it?

You know, I could almost swear that I can recall lying in my crib and suddenly realizing that that pink blob in my field of vision was my nose. But I used to be a fan of The Chipmunks, Astroboy, Beany and Cecil and Top Cat. Since my birthday was March 5, 1958, I was about four or five when those were on. Yet I did not recall individual episodes or characters or the theme songs, at least until the shows were repeated...just a general aura of fandom. However, I remember bits and pieces of my "healthy" mother when I must have been no older, since she died after years of cancer when I was ten.
