Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2007)

An amazing movie. If you haven't seen it yet definitely go out and buy, not rent, buy it because I can guaranty that you're going to want to watch it over and over again. The movie is about a man, Leonard Shelby, with CRS decease (CRS mean can't remember S@#&). It is based off a short story called Memento Mori.
I say that this movie is brilliant because of the way it is edited, in a backwards, forwards, double strain helix. If you don't have a clue what I mean watch the movie. The first strain, played in color, runs backward whereas the next strain, in black and white, runs forwards. This is disorienting at first but the audience gets used to it.
The idea is to put the viewer in Leonard's shoes. Leonard is constantly disoriented because he can't even remember who he was just talking to or what about. You almost become the character.
Brilliant movie and a brilliant director who could ask for more?
