let's cut to the chase (do not read if you have not seen the movie)

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2001)

Does anyone have an honest opinion or interpretation of this film? I do! I may be wrong but I'm willing to go out on a limb. Here goes: Memento is the Latin word for "I remember" and that is the point! Leonard Shelby knows exactly who he is, and does a great job fooling everybody that he has anterograde amnesia, including himself by thoroughly throwing himself into the role. This is the story as I see it: Leonard is an insurance investigator in a hateful marriage. He knows Sammy and his story so well that he uses it for his own gain. Leonard's wife is involved with drugs and knows Jimmy, Natalie, and Teddy. Leonard finds out. He hires Dodd to knock off his wife and hit him in the head so that he can fake his amnesia. He plans with Dodd to get the drug money and sets out on his elaborate scheme. And enjoys it to the fullest!!! Tell me I'm wrong. But then, explain who Dodd is.
By the way, this movie was great. All I can say is this: Russell Crowe, move over, way over! Here comes Guy Pearce!!!
