Rating: Null/10 (27 July 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** It appears that though most of you loved the movie, you were lost in complexity in a story of biologically induced antero-grade amnesia. A concept so intriguing and original to you that you could not even attempt to read between the lines further of a true master-piece.
Leonard's wife was beaten and sexually assaulted by only one man..Leonard was awoken and shot this man in the head and in the struggle suffered a severe contusion to his head. Here is where the explanation starts to get a little confusing but bear with me. Leonard's wife doesn't die from this incident. Leonard, decides to attempt to con an insurance company (Leonard never worked for an insurance company). Now, Leonard lives a fake life depicted by the black in white scenes of `Sammy'. Anyways, the `Sammy story' was how Leonard actually killed his wife (thus it was in black in white because it didn't `really' happen as depicted through `Sammy'). After Leonard killed his wife from insulin shock, he became very mentally ill. It is almost certain that at this point Leonard's fake memory loss to scam an insurance company turned into reality as a psychological state (though not biological directly from the injury sustained). This is why there are some inconsistencies with the biological memory condition. Basically, Leonard's mind could think and adapt and selectively remember with no rhyme of reason due to psychosis that no one can attempt to explain (so any questions you have about this cannot be explained). Thus, his psychosis mimicked that of his con-ed (scam) state of antero-grade amnesia but was not the same thing If this was a true case of antero-grade amnesia Leonard would not know he had the condition, not know his wife was dead, not know he was trying to condition himself, etc, etc. I have seen true cases, where individuals act as though the wake every 5 minutes for the first time since an `event'. They are not able to walk around a city, they would certainly be so confused they would get lost. They would not be able to condition themselves to use picture and structure to remember things. This is because that part of their brain truly did not work anymore.
If you are still following me here you will realize that Leonard was soon placed in a mental hospital after he accidentally killed his wife from an insulin overdose (while trying to scam an insurance company). The whole rest of the movie follows from the fact that while in the mental hospital Leonard was angered at those who didn't believe there was another killer of his wife the night she was rapped and `murdered' (this is made up in his head because she didn't even die then). The officer assigned to the case Officer G (Teddy) was then used in his head as the person he wanted to kill eventually to `avenge' his wife's "death". I will stop explaining the story from here.however I hope you can now watch the movie again from a totally different perspective. That of a mentally ill individual seeking `revenge' for an incident that didn't actually occur. It shows how powerful the human mind can be. Though most of you do not have the perspective of a psychologist, I hope you can understand what I have said. Some may say the movie's ending was very confusing, however it attempts to hint at what I have just stated. Thus, it must end with losely to correctly depict a mentally ill individual where one moment of truth cannot be separated from a moment of non-reality.
Watch again.look for clues.here are some He burns a clock (clock = watch of wife setting back when he was giving her insulin shots) While `sammy' is in hospital there is a quick flash and you see for a second that Leonard is actually sitting in `sammys' wheelchair While in Natailie's house..Leonard is watching the news, bored he switches channels to a commercial like channel (just as `sammy did' etc...
