Memento

Memento

This movie, by producer Christopher Nolan, shows the life of Leonard Shelby, suffering short-term memory loss after a head injury. The only thing he remembers is his wife's death, and he tries, by jotting down notes for reminders, to find the one who murdered his wife.

I loved the way how the movie was edited in sequences of a few minutes, the short term in which he remembers straight, but instead of moving forward, each such term is showed after the former, leading to an astounding revelation at the end of the movie.

Memento

Why is this movie rated R?. I guess there is some violence content on it. I read somewhere that the girl who plays Trinity on the Matrix (Carrie Anne Moss) works in this movie. Some trivia about this movie:

* It took 25 days to shoot Memento.

* Teddy's phone number, 555-0134, is the same as Marla Singer's number in Fight Club (1999).

* Stephen Tobolowsky would later play another man with a memory problem in an episode of "The Lone Gunmen" (2001).


* The medical condition experienced by Leonard in this film is a real condition called Anterograde Amnesia - the inability to form new memories after damage to the hippocampus. During the 1950s, doctors treated some forms of epilepsy by removing parts of the temporal lobe, resulting in the same memory problems.

I enjoyed this movie, but I have to warn you it's not easy to watch ... you got to have a certain disposition to see it. The screenplay was great.

Memento

A great movie from a different perspective that shows what it is like to be trapped in the world of a man who does not know who he is or who to trust. In fact, the movie shows you cannot trust anyone at all. Too profane, especially with Carrie-Ann, the acting of itself was very good though.

Memento

It was a pretty good movie although the amount of cursing was annoyning. The acting was very good and the story line was fine although since the moment the main character started talking about his client whose wife suffered of diabetes, I knew what the end would be like, very predictable from that instance.

Memento

Memento chronicles two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.
