Memento

Anyone seen Memento?

Its a film about a man who has lost his short term memory and can't remember anything for than 15 minutes. The movie works backward to reveal whats really been going on.

Some parts were a bit predictable, and the plot would probably fall apart under too much scrutiny but otherwise I thought it did a good job of keeping things tense.

I saw it a couple of years ago.

Interesting plot. Had some good twists. One of those "watch it only once" type of movies. A bit predictable... yes.

But certainly an interesting movie if you haven't seen it... and you like this type of movie. My mom didn't really like it. Can't say that I would really recommend it to anyone but I won't say it was the worse movie I've ever seen.

Yes! Actually, my head started to hurt when I went back and tried to further analyze the plot. Some parts didn't seem to tie up as nicely under further observation as they did the first time.


It's still worth a watch though for anyone who hasn't seen it! Especially for those who enjoy movies that leave you in the dark until the end Smile

If you're not distracted by anything, its really not that hard to follow.

Doesn't it all go backwards or something? That's what I heard.

If so, then of course it will be predictable.

It does go backwards and it's a little predictable but then has a couple of twists in it. It's a little hard to follow but after a while, you get use to it.

it dos go backwords, but it actulye makes more sence that way. because every time it go's to a new sceen it's a completly new memory time frame for him it dosent matter what is where. he wont rember any of it.

altho it dos go completly backwords. the end is the begning. but the twist is at the end.... witch is the begning.... and if you couldent fallow that... then i suguest you not see it.

i love this movie. it's wonderfuly written. and i would highly recomned it to any one.
