The Forgotten is a 2004 American psychological thriller film, directed by Joseph Ruben and starring Julianne Moore. Most of the movie was filmed in New York City.
The movie revolves around a woman who thinks that she lost her son in a plane crash 14 months ago, only to wake up one morning and be told that she never had a son. All of her memories are intact but with no physical evidence that contradicts the claims of her husband and psychiatrist, she sets out in search for solid evidence of her son's existence.
It was produced by Revolution Studios for Columbia Pictures and was released in the United States and Canada on September 24, 2004.
Telly Paretta (Julianne Moore) believes that her son, Sam, died fourteen months ago in a plane crash, but her husband Jim (Anthony Edwards) tells her that she's delusional. Dr. Munce (Gary Sinise) tells her that she's delusional and imagining a life that might have been. He recommends that she be sent to a hospital. She runs away and meets with a man named Ash (Dominic West) who she thinks is the father of a girl who was friends with her son and died in the same crash. At first he dismisses her and calls the police, but after she is taken into custody, he remembers his daughter and rescues Telly. Together they escape and go into hiding, pursued by National Security agents.
I don't know why things seem so faint
I speak aloud but no one can hear me
For just one word I'd do anything
Because this silence has become much more
Than I can take
[Chorus]
I want to see into your eyes
I want to feel the blood that flows
I want to know again the life I left behind
I want to hear you speak my name
I want to feel you at my side
I want to follow you to where I was before
I can't go on much longer like this
The pain of the forgotten can not be healed
As another day goes by
In my silent prison cell
Another year is lost
As I pray to end this hell
[Chorus]
Here I walk forever more, forever dying
I want to see life through your eyes
I want to sleep and never wake
