A Stroke of Genius

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2012)

I always enjoy a great mind boggling film;'Memento' is one of the best ever. Christopher Nolan incorporates a sophisticated plot that you never know where you're going throughout the movie unless you pay close attention to the events that occur in the film. What grabs my attention is the mystery of how the plot unfolds surrounding Leonard's explanation of how he came to murder Teddy, but is what he saying really the truth? The answer is that we don't know since there is no reliable narrator to verify our suspicions or tell us what really happened. The reason is because LEONARD IS THE NARRATOR and he wants to believe that his actions are just and that his story about how his wife died and he got his 'condition' is the truth. But that is for the viewer to decide as he or she actually watches the film.
