Memento

Once again I feel like deviating from the original topic of this blog to talk about a movie. Memento is a pretty interesting movie. The way that it's made is cool too. Memento is made from the end to the beginning. It starts off with Leonard, the anti-hero, killing the guy who raped and murdered his wife. Or so we believe. As the movie goes backwards we see how he gets up to the point where he kills John Ghammel, AKA Teddy, the guy who killed his wife. Now what also makes the movie interesting is that Lenny, that's his nickname, contracted a memory condition. He can't make any new memories. So to make up for that he takes pictures to remind himself of the people and places that he meets and goes to, respectivly.

In the end (beginning?) we see that things become clear and that everything unfolds (in the reverse order which does make it confusing). We see that Leonard is taken advantage of by various people that are supposed to be helping him. we also see that in his quest to obtain justice, and the end of the movie (the beginning of his story) that he possibly makes up his desire to kill John Gs inorder to just keep on living. The only way to really understand (????) the movie one must watch it though.
