Watch Memento For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Admirable film.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I rate this very high on my best of list for its ambition and intellect.The script is written on the body of the main character. It's a device that the TV show Blindspot would rip off.I watched this over and over and over and it took me to a place I did not want to go, because it's very dark but here I go:The main character is attacked, wife raped, him injured. He develops a fake condition to scam his insurance. The insurance investigator figures this out during a flashback in a flashback with the eletric blocksHis wife gets fed up, challenges him, he knows it, and murders her with the insulin.Sent to a hospital, he escapes and meets up with the cop who investigated the case. They track down the rapist/thief and murder him.However, the memory condition then becomes imbedded. He became his own fictional character. The crooked cop exploits a drug deal gone wrong to get the dealer, Jimmy G, murdered.Jimmy's girlfriend Natalie, the smartest character in the whole movie, figures it out and uses our memory boy to chase off the other dealer looking for the missing money.Where I got lost is where our memory boy decided he wanted to kill the crooked cop and tattooed it to his body so it would become a memory.Lenny was never an insurance investigator, his condition is self-delusional. All he did is just the same as looking at a few polaroids and trying to create/remember a past. Guy is playing 3 characters here. His own character, the borrowed character of the insurance investigator, and his made up personality as the film goes along.

I probably had big expectations so I did not enjoy the film as much as I expected to. The plot twist is great, but until then I was not fully pleased.

I saw it when it first came out and was on the edge of my seat for the whole film, all the while trying to unravel what had happened and what was to come (because the whole premise of the movie as you presumably know is that it runs backwards). 18 years later I finally got around to watching it again and it was just as entertaining knowing the ending as I watched, engrossed, to see how everything came to pass. Not just a film that rewards two watchings but one that demands them. A tour de force and for my money still Nolan's best work.

One of the best title in my list. Those frames are visualized in un-forgetable way.
