Memento

This movie could very well be one of the most intelligent thrillers of all time. I am still left mind-boggled and confused yet I can't tell you enough of how good I thought this movie was.

It's an interesting idea – Leonard is a man with short-term memory lost. He continually wakes up and can't remember anything from a certain point. Every day he has to take all the clues he has left for himself over time and put the pieces back together. To give himself these clues, he tattoos himself with messages and reminders, and has Polaroid pictures of people with notes on them for him to keep in touch with the right people.

The way the movie is sequenced may be the most interesting aspect. There are two story line sequences in this movie, and they both have clips that alternate throughout the film. One of the story lines goes in order, and the other one plays backwards. One story line is in black and white, and the other one is in color. Finally, when the two story lines collide, the black and white bursts into color.

Leonard's wife was murdered. He only has bits and pieces of the murder case, but from the messages that he has tattooed to himself, he knows his one goal in life is to find her murderer (by the name of John G) and when he finds him, he will kill him. That is his only purpose in life and he will do anything to find him.

It sounds confusing, and it is. It won't get much clearer than that, and there are twists and turns that will leave you shouting at the screen. This thriller is pure intelligent entertainment, and it was executed beautifully on screen. I highly recommend this one – if you haven't seen it yet, click any of the links below to watch videos online. I know I am the movie critic, but I had a bit of difficulty fully decoding this movie. What do you think really happened in Memento? I'll give you my opinion, but I want you to watch it first and figure it out for yourself!
