ENDING SPOILER - but don't fret b/c that's the worst part.

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2001)

I knew there had to be a deeper explanation to why Guy Pierce, the led actor in "Memento," constantly reminded me of fellow actor Brad Pitt. Throughout the film, I just correlated this recognition to the shared physical similarities between the two actors - muscular & lean, tan, blond, not an ounce of noticable body fat and drop dead gorgeous. However, once the conclusion of the movie is revealed (after much anticipation had been built up) - it all proved to be a more deeper meaning for the actor's resemblance to each other. Like in Pitt's "Fight Club," "Memento" resolves a highly intriquing tale - full of sweet oblivion - with an unsatisfying ending. The, what I like to call "Tyler Durden - insanity - cop out" finale. Simply pinning the suspenseful explanation of a story to the main character just doesn't do it for me. Let's face it - the ending is too important to ruin - because it's the last thing you remember when you leave the fantasy world. "Memento" had me hooked from the very beginning - all building & building up to a climax I couldn't wait for. Then - once revealed - it prooved the be the worst part of the whole film.
