---------WARNING - SPOILER ALERT--------------

A man suffering with short-term memory loss, seeks revenge for the murder of his wife.
Sounds like a recipe for a bad comedy. I thought it was going to be longest 2 hours of my life when i saw the cover of the dvd but i had nothing better to do.
SO whats so exciting about a guy that takes polaroids of his car and hotel while tattooing license plate numbers on his body? Its his condition. He cant make new memories. He remebers everything uptill the accident but after that its all in pictures and tattoos.
The movie cant be explained. You have to see it to comprehend it. You have to see it again to comprehend it. But you must accept one thing, the movie does not have a definite ending. the director never made it to prove anything, just to toy with our minds.
We believe whatever we want to believe. We forget whatever we want to forget. We remember whatever we want to remember. But no matter how hard he tries, he cant. So, in order to make life justifiable, he decides to go on his own terms. Using his condition to his advantage, (and to others advantage or so it seems), he tries bring meaning and purpose to his life. Something he wasnt able to do before the accident.
The movie is great not because it is in reverse, not because it has some fantastic direction, not because it has a sexy green jag, but because it makes one wonder if we are truly honest to ourselves.
watch this one CLOSELY.

Thank you for your time
