Memento The joy in Memento, and in literary analysis in general,
involves bringing contexts crashing together in new ways:
understanding Memento not only as a post-modern construction to be deconstructed,
not only as the debate about who a character is,
not only about the questioning of the post-modern genre in general, but all of these at once, and more

Memento TEDDY: Look at your police file. It was complete when I gave it to you.
Who took the twelve pages out?
LEONARD: You, probably.
TEDDY: No, you took them out.
LEONARD: Why would I do that?
TEDDY: To set yourself a puzzle you won’t ever solve. You know how many town, how many guys called James G.?
Or John G.? Shit, Leonard, I’m... a John G.
LEONARD: Your name’s Teddy.
TEDDY: My mother calls me Teddy. I’m John Edward Gammell. Cheer up, there’s lots of John G.’s for us to find.
All you do is moan. I’m the one that has to live with what you’ve done. I’m the one that has to put it all together.
You just wander around playing detective. You’re living a dream, kid. A dead wife to pine for and a sense of purpose to your life.
A romantic quest which you wouldn’t end even if I wasn’t in the picture

Memento TEDDY: You don’t even know who you are.
LEONARD: I’m Leonard Shelby. I’m from San Francisco and I’m-
TEDDY: (bloody grin) That’s who you were. You don’t know who you are.
LEONARD: Shut your mouth!
TEDDY: Let me take you down to the basement and show you what you’ve become.
(...intimate) C’mon, Lenny- we’ll take a look at what you really are.
(...Leonard pulls the trigger)

Memento LEONARD: That’s the thing. I have this condition.
BURT: Condition?
LEONARD: I have no memory.
BURT: Amnesia?
LEONARD: No. It’s different. I have no short-term memory. I know who I am and all about myself,
but since my injury I can’t make any new memories. Everything fades.
...
BURT: What’s it like?
LEONARD: Like waki...ng. Like you just woke up.
BURT: That must suck. All... backwards.
Leonard raises his eyebrows in enquiry.
Well, like... you got a pretty good idea of what you’re gonna do next, but no idea of what you just did

Memento

Memento If you're looking for something intense, suspenseful, and different than your usual effects-packed thriller, this is the best movie you will see all year. You will be talking about Memento at work, at the grocery store (to total strangers!), and you will find yourself joining conversations when you hear the word "Memen...to." That's why this little film that received almost no marketing stayed in theaters for months and was in the top 10 money makers for several weeks.

The movie starts with a murder -- a revenge killing, in fact. But was the right person killed?

Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) is a man with no short-term memory. He hasn't been able to form new memories since the night his wife was murdered. Now he's on a hunt to find the murderer but with no way of remembering names, dates, places, facts and faces. Instead he tattoos himself with mementos of his search. When someone knows his name, he checks Polaroids to see if he knows them. Does he like this person? Does he trust this person? Is this the killer? He doesn't know unless he's scribbled a note.

Don't worry about trying to empathize with Leonard because Writer/Director Christopher Nolan puts you right in Leonard's shoes. You live the story in reverse order so that you never know more than Leonard does. In one scene you see Leonard getting information from a person who knows him -- maybe a good person; maybe bad. In the next scene you see a previous meeting between the two which sheds more light on their relationship. Later still you see how they met. But is that all of the story? You've yet to find out... and you won't know everything until the last scene. By living it backwards, you, like Leonard, have no knowledge of what came before.

It's brilliant story telling. But you might get frustrated because you don't know what's going on. That's normal. In fact, that's the whole idea. Just sit back, try to relax (though that's difficult in this movie), and find out just how twisted and complex Leonard's world is.

This film will leave its own memento on your mind, and you'll have a hard time forgetting how much you enjoyed it.
