The film addresses the universally condemned issue of child sex trafficking and the corruption protecting its perpetrators. Its narrative focuses on both vigilante justice and law enforcement efforts to dismantle the criminal enterprise, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology from either the left or the right.
The movie incorporates visible diversity within its cast, featuring various ethnic backgrounds in supporting roles without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a neutral stance on traditional identities, with any negative portrayals stemming from character actions rather than identity, indicating a light presence of DEI.
The 2022 film "Memory" is a remake of the 2003 Belgian film "The Alzheimer Case." In the remake, the high-ranking political figure involved in the conspiracy, Senator Marisol Mora, is portrayed as female, a role that was male (Minister of Justice) in the original. Additionally, a lead detective role is portrayed by a female character, Linda Amistad, where the original detective duo was male.
The character Hugo Marquez, portrayed by Harold Torres, was originally Erik Vincke, a white Belgian detective in the source material (novel and 2003 film). This change in racial portrayal constitutes a race swap.
The film 'Memory' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The plot centers on an assassin's moral conflict and a child trafficking ring, without incorporating any elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film features female characters in significant roles, including an antagonist and a detective. However, none of these characters engage in or are depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Their roles are primarily investigative or managerial.
