Awesome plot

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2013)

The very thing that Hollywood most lacks nowadays is originality. In an era where we are constantly being repetitively served with remakes, re-creations, prequels and, not to forget, interminable sequels, creativity surely does not seem to be the main and most essential factor in the vast majority of nowadays films. Hollywood seems like a movie bakery that counts on the same recipe book with certain ingredients over and over again to produce an edible cake to serve. Not to mention tons of explosions, gunfights, and long list of visual effects artists that seem to fill most of today's films. However, there can be exceptions, but they come in small quantities, and at very rare times. One of those exceptions is Christopher Nolan's Memento. "You need three things to make a good movie: a good script, a good script and a good script." (Alfred Hitchcock) Christopher Nolan, who both wrote and directed the film, has successfully proved that his work in Memento is an application of how great a script filled of twists and turns with a non-linear narrative structure applied in reverse, meaning that we get to see the latter events of the story unfold at the beginning of the film, can distinct Memento to be one of the phenomenal film ever made.
