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.

is there anything more soothing than hearing "hi, i'm michael, this is lessons from the screenplay" when you go down a youtube hole trying to make sense of what the goddamn fuck you just watched
christopher nolan: it's a test

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!
for sure my dream job is playing the deceased partner in a nolan film. just filming artsy flashbacks in a suburban house doing mundane things and then die?? sign me up!!!
I wish I was one of those intellectuals who can watch and enjoy this movie without commenting on how much they enjoy shirtless guy pearce
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…
such a good film. christopher nolan never fails to leave me dumbfounded. the narration did have me laughing from time to time, but the entire film was amazing. i loved the way it was set up and learning more of the story as it went on. the ending was unforeseen. it ended with such a great plot twist.
guy pearce was so great here, kinda makes u wonder how he did such a good job remembering his lines
imagine being christopher nolan’s wife, and seeing ur husband in the middle of the night creating a plot like this, crazy and amazing and at the same time fuckin’ hard to keep track of what’s going on, but the film is incredible af
memento> inception imo
5/5!
Memento is one of those movies that inspires you about the possibilities of film.
Watched alone. Absolutely amazing screenplay. Nolan very beautifully told the story backwards and forwards at the same time creating a really captivating and interesting watch. This is a really impressive feat and is like cream of the crop of non-linear story telling from what I have seen.
"I can't remember to forget you."
ho a dir poco adorato questo film e l’ho rivisto per farlo vedere a mia madre sperando vivamente che piacesse anche a lei...
durante il film aveva una faccia perplessa e una volta terminato si è alzata dicendo “e quindi com’è finito? non ci ho capito nulla e non mi è piaciuto, du palle” .
penso che abbiate sentito tutti il mio cuore spezzarsi dopo questa frase💔
però vabbè sono gusti... almeno ci ho provato🙈
Christopher Nolan is a huge fan of jarring story telling techniques. Watching the film unfold is interesting, yet not as intuitive or as impactful as his later works like Inception.
