This is how you direct a psychological film

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2019)

Memento stars Guy Pearce and Carrie Ann Moss and is directed by Christopher Nolan. Guy Pearce plays Leonard a man who suffers from short-term memory loss who is looking for the killer who murdered his wife. If I could summarize this in two words it would be mind blowing. This is one of the smartest intelligent psychological thrillers of all time that doesn't go for the usual twist ending. I'm not saying that all psychological thrillers do that; I'm simply stating that no psychological thriller will ever come close to as Memento, except the Sixth Sense. I was impressed how Christopher Nolan decided to make his own psychological thriller so he can mess with the viewer's minds.
This is one of those movies where every detail of the movie counts that you can't cook or do chores, because then you would be lost and confused. We don't know much about this person, but we do get a little brief background information about him. But from the evidence that I gathered throughout I sympathize with his character because he's looking for his wife while at the same time suffering from short-term memory loss. And because of his condition I feel pity for him as the people he interacts with treat him differently. But at the same time his past life he's a jerk if you think about it and so it brings me the question of should I feel his pain or not? I'm going to end my review here because it's really hard not to give anything away with people who haven't seen this movie and I want people to experience this masterpiece without spoilers. And trust me as soon as the movie is over you will be thinking about this again and again trying to piece the puzzles together. And for the people, who have seen the movie, don't spoil it for the people who haven't. It's not cool.
