Question w/SPOILER

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2001)

An incredible film---that rarity: one that you think and talk about long after you leave the theater. Makes you examine the whole concept of memory--what it is and how we change it. Now to my question w/SPOILER: three of us are arguing about the end/beginning---when Teddy tries to convince Leonard about what his life has been, what is the real story about his wife? Did she indeed die? Did she survive the attack only to die from Leonard's insulin injection? Was she in a coma from said injection? Or, did she leave him because she could not handle his "condition"? What exactly did Teddy say? (I hesitate to say "I forgot"--there was just so much to absorb!) Thanks for your feedback, mzd
