 | I was blown away by "Memento" at the theater, and also when I watched it at home. But I was totally unprepared for what I discovered when I watched the film "forwards" instead of "backwards." It is much more complex and infinitely more brilliant than I had thought, and believe me, I already thought it was brilliant. You'll have to search online for the "keys" to unlock the secret that lets you watch the movie in its linear form, but it's not hard to find on the Web, not hard to do, and well worth it. |

Either Way, I hope you enjoy Memento.
It might be a bit too 'plotty' for some viewers.
The DVD well captures the film and its unique use of soundtracking...
The performances by GUY PEARCE (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL), Joe Pantolino (MIDNIGHT RUN) and Carrie-Anne Moss (THE MATRIX) are quirky enough to make this film appear outside of the mainstream.
This makes him a bit odd and what appears to be forgetful...
He too, has a condition that makes him unable to create new memories.
It is all mirrored by our hero.
And that discovery is filled with surprises that build (or destroy) to an exciting surprising thesis.
So, you know what is going to happen, you only have to learn how and why it happened!
And what makes it so unique is that it is told chronologically backward.
MEMENTO is one of the most unique films of the past decade.

| This totally unique film is as tough to watch as it is rewarding.
See it for yourself, there is nothing like it! |

| You remember that SNL skit where Tom Hanks can't seem to remember anything for more than a few moments? Well that is essentially what this movie is about. Leonard (don't call him Lenny) is in search of the man that raped and murdered his wife. It was during this attack that Leonard was injured and has since not been able to make any new memories.
Since Leonard can't form any new memories he has to rely on a system to direct his investigation. His system includes polaroids, notes, and freaky tattooes. All of these are to remind him of what he is doing. He even has to remind himself to hate.
If you are looking for a suspenseful movie where you are forced to watch every minute of the movie then this is for you. The movie actually works itself back from the present. It is as if you are watching the end first. As details are "relived" you get to see just how twisted this movie and the people in it can be.
I usually know exactly what is going to happen in a movie by the first ten minutes. I did not see the ending (beginning) of this one coming. So if you are in for a very surprising and twisted ending (beginning) then this is the movie for you. |

| you know, i always thought that people who review the flicks on a website were just people who are small inside, and wish to be big and important...and influence the daily lives of others like yourselves. but lately i have noticed that movies that are so good sometimes need to be reviewed about. wether it's an awesome flick or a piece of shizzah, you just want to talk about it. and yeah, it makes you feel like you're doing something...writing on the internet! being an influence on peoples movie tastes! woooo(...)! so exciting! THis movie was pretty good, and now i consider myself...one of you! NOT! |
