The main actor here, I forget his name, was up against Brad Pitt at the time for favorite actor among the public. He had such potential, but never was able to recover after starring in this film. I would or wouldn't have liked to see him in more movies. But the movie bases itself on him and his star power, coolness and good looks. And then goes into so much more.
Memento is a crazy film. It's about a scrambled film about a man who cannot remember things for more than an hour at a time. And he's hunting down the man that killed his wife. I don't really remember how it went, but the twist was that he accidentally killed his own wife or something. Which makes the movie pointless because he's just out there basically doing nothing. There's no mystery to solve, and yet he's just causing mayhem.
It's a really funny concept actually. The end of the film gave me a feeling that we all sometimes do pointless things to entertain ourselves and keep us happy. It's different for everyone. Some like to work long hours, others take up painting, some like adventure. It's just wasting time in whatever way we want. It's life.
The movie is told in a deranged way, where there really is no timeline. It's told from the ending to the beginning, but not really. There are flashbacks. And that's really the genius of the movie. I got bored in my third viewing. It's special, but not too special. Sort of like the main actor.
