.reverse in scenes color the watch and dvd the Get

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2002)

Saw this in a theatre when it came out and immediately wanted - no...NEEDED to see it again, to make further sense of what I'd just been put through. Finally, I got the dvd last night and stayed up til nearly 3am with it - first, watching it 'normally' and then watching the color scenes in reverse order, and then watching just the black & white scenes one after another, in linear fashion. The last b&w scene, where Leonard kills Jimmy, turns into color when he snaps his picture, his "memento" of the incident, thus beginning the entire search/find/kill process all over again. If you were into this movie in the theatre, you truly owe it to yourself to get the dvd and watch it this way. Many things are revealed to you, all sorts of quirkly little moments and running jokes. Cannot WAIT to see Following, and I certainly can't wait for Chris Nolan's next cinematic experiment.
