The Most Thouhgt Provoking FIlm of all time is also the best.

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2005)

Memento is a movie that would be difficult to make because the whole thing is played backwards and the more that we know the less Leo knows. While watching you really have to pay attention because how each scene begins is how the next one ends, but often it will be difficult to remember how it began because you will be pulled into the conflict of the story.
Leonard Shelby is wonderfully played by Guy Pearce who earlier acted in the cop drama L.A Confedential, which in both of these movies he shows what kinds of talents he has on the screen. Christopher Nolan, the Writer/Director of Memento is one of Hollywood's greatest directors, he has done Insomnia(not based on the Stephen King book) with Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hillary Swank. Just Recently he has directed the thrilling Batman Begins which has an a list cast including Christian Bale, Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Katie Holmes. In Memento Nolan shows us how the character thinks because Leo will know something and then the next minute he would have completely forgotten the whole thing.
To help himself remember things Leo will take pictures of people and places such as the hotel he is staying and Natalie(Carrie-Anne Moss) and Teddy Gammel(Joe Pantoliano), without these pictures th movie would be a total mess and would not be nearly and good. Nolans brother Johnathon wrote the short story of Memento which is supposed to be a really good story. If you have not yet seen it you should try to as soon as you can because after you will not be able to forget about it.
