The film begins with the climax of the story, the murder of a man called Teddy in an abandoned warehouse. From that moment onwards, the story of the protagonist is told in two ways. The color shots go backwards from the present scene, while the black-and –white shots commencing from the moment he wakes up lost in a motel room go in forward directio...
Leonard Shelby is one interesting personality, an erstwhile insurance investigator, now using his trade skills to track down the man who had rapedand murdered his wife. His disease however, prevents the flawless execution of his skills in this mission. With his capacity of forming new memories stolen after the horrible incident, Shelby resorts to a...
The climax of the film, (not the story’s climax) lies among the very best. Christopher Nolan keeps it open to several possibilities and asks the audience to form their own conclusions.

It would be a blasphemy to mark just one of the many possibilities as the correct one. It could all be a ruse to confuse Leonard’s mind even further, take advantage of his situation and force him to commit crimes which normally the puppeteer couldn’t do. It is really hard to believe that a cop would assist a mentally unstable person in his quest fo...
Guy Pearce’s earnest performance as the amnesic hunting down his wife’s killer helps put over the character of Leonard Shelby. He is straight faced and never breaks out a smile in those impassive jaws. The haunting look he carries throughout the entire movie feels chillingly real.

In the end, it doesn’t matter which theory about the film you believe to be correct; what matters is that the film made you think and engage. That’s what ci...

Apr 13, 2001 · Confusion is the state we are intended to be in. That said, "Memento" is a diabolical and absorbing experience, in which Pearce doggedly plays a low-rent Fugitive who patiently makes maps, jots notes and explains over and over that he has to talk fast because in a few minutes he'll start forgetting the conversation.
