Poll: Brainwashed Movie Characters

These characters were brainwashed, either partially or wholly, against their will. This excludes characters like Joel Barish from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) who voluntarily chose to erase his memory. It also excludes characters that had a lobotomy like R.P. McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975).

Which of these characters, and their altered memory, did you find, ironically, the most memorable?

After voting, you may voluntarily recall your thoughts here.
