Still A Classic After 11 Years

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2011)

Have you ever read a book in a non linear fashion or backwards for fun? What if a movie did it in the same way? Memento succeeds in this department and everything else.
Even after 11 years, Memento is still a classic and holds up amazingly. Everything from the acting to the writing and precise filming makes this movie a masterpiece. The story told backwards device is not some sort of stupid scheme to be different. This movie NEEDS to be told backwards as it just wouldn't be as good if it was told in order. It fits in with the story and is no gimmick. Like Leonard, the protagonist, we have no idea what is going on and we slowly put the clues together. When you first watch the movie, it may start a bit slow, but once you see what the movie is aiming for, you'll fall in love with it.
Memento is a film made for lovers of film! It has to be one of my favorite movies and Christopher Nolan never fails to impress. The Batman movies, Inception, Memento, and there will probably be more classics to come! Memento has planted it's feet on the grounds of film history. Purely amazing and a masterpiece!
