Coffee with a friend

Today I went to a cafe to study with a friend. While there, she was telling me that she was having very funny flashbacks from the night before. I asked her what point of view her flashbacks were in and she told me that they were in a cinematic point of view (third person), as in she was watching her actions. I found this interesting and started to think about memories. As we go about our daily routines, we all have a first person perspective of looking out and seeing our surroundings, but it seems to me that when people remember things it is always in a cinematic way. We watch our memories as if they were a movie, and we see ourselves running or laughing or dancing, but we see ourselves in our memory. This made me think about the way our memories are constructed. Do we consruct our memories in this manner because we have all been exposed to film? What are the perspectives or points of view that the aborignals or native people, that have never been exposed to film, have when they are remembering a moment? Would their memories be constructed in the same way, are they seeing their memories from a first person perspective or are they seeing their memories from a third person perspective like many films today? How do our memories make the transition to third person when everything we experience is in first person?
