2000 Directed by Christopher Nolan
Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

The films complexity coupled with the non linear format forced me to take measures I don't normally take while viewing a film! With reckless abandon I took a tattoo needle to my flesh logging every minute detail on every nook and cranny and crevice of my body! Sadly Newton's law of gravity took effect.. the tattoo's are now completely indecipherable! Next time I'll use Post It Notes ;-)
The first time I viewed the film I detested the grotesque non linear format but after several viewings I have come to greatly appreciate this truly novel effort and have finally given it the love it fully deserves!
Nolan's sadistic magnum opus puts the audience's tits through the wringer! And it's no surprise they keep coming back for more! Because nobody and I mean nobody.. knows how to engage and entertain his audiences both visually and cerebrally!
Naughty Approved!
Whenever I re-watch Memento, I'm always reminded of the quote from the book Sculpting in Time, written by my favorite director in the history of cinema, Andrei Tarkovsky, which states, “I felt all the time that, for the film to be a success, the texture of the scenery and the landscapes must fill me with definite memories and poetic associations.” I believe that Tarkovsky was spot on with his titular assertion that the act of creating cinema is, indeed, the equivalent to the act of sculpting time, and that Christopher Nolan's Memento could almost be viewed as fine example of contemporary structuralism -- "structuralist film theory emphasizes how films convey meaning through the use of codes and conventions not dissimilar…
Part Six of Preparing (As Much As Humanly Possible) For Interstellar
Memento is one of Nolan's most gripping works, a puzzle-box neo-noir of intimate and tragic beauty, all tied in with a narrative that is told uniquely and effectively. Completely dropping any sign of a linear story or framework, the film goes off the rails in the finest way possible, culminating in a film that is funny, powerful, saddening, and wonderfully cinematic.
Guy Pierce is at his finest here, playing the protagonist of Leonard with an oblivious and shocking timidity. It works for the role, which happens to be one of the finest characters in any of Nolan's films. Similarly great are Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano, both adding to…
4.6
Very complicated film, but very intelligent and is definitely a good watch. It may feel like a little all over the place, but everything is made so it can be understood after taking notes of details of the film, it gives you an experience as if you are the protagonist trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
محتاج تشغل دماغك شوية وانت بتتفرج
طريقة جديدة في سرد الأحداث وأعتقد الفيلم الوحيد اللي عملها
فيلم كويس فشخ وكفاية إن مخرجه نولان
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good
With the film starting at the end of the story, the narrative is already out of the ordinary linear structure making it already interesting, you cannot start a film at the end and not expect your audience to want to find out how the story led those characters to that moment. With the premise of the story being so dark from the onset and throughout its expected that the storyline will be confusing. Also the fact that the protagonist suffers from memeory loss, it makes sense that so much information is withheld from the viewer, as it really creates the feeling that we are experiencing his memeory loss at the same time as we are let into such little information, yet we are so intrigued in finding out what led all of these things to the outcome we were first greeted with.
Leonard’s memory loss creates a sad mist over the whole movie for me, I personally could not bare with having my memory lost so I find the movie a scary thought! The way he tattoos notes on himself creates a form of self destruction for memory! This movie was an engaging but also made me fear the actions that unfolded
This film by Christopher Nolan is a very confusing experience to watch but brilliant as the editing is so good , this shows that editing is a great asset as without its editing this film would be painful boring
I am really pleased by the quality of editing in this movie. It emphasises the confusion and irritation of the character and his illness. The seccessful use mise en scene along with the dark lighting creates an intense and ominous mood.
This movie is a testament to how editing can make or break a film. They way that this is edited it makes the rather plane narrative become interesting and complex, creating a array of multi layered characters.
