Hook, line and...that's confusing, where was I?

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2001)

First off, go watch this film now! Go.
How many times do you find yourself asking the question What's going to happen before?' Not very many, I wager. What's going to happen next?', now that question makes more sense, doesn't it? Perhaps, but then again who's to say what makes sense? Well, the answer is YOUonly you can convince yourself to judge what you will take as real and what isn't. You make these judgments based on past experiences. These past experiences are brought into the equation by your memory. At least you have your memory, that will save your sanity because your memories are realaren't they?
I believe learning of a film through reviews and comments, such as this one, helps convince people to go watch a film. I also believe hearing too much hype can completely spoil a potentially sound film. As I recall, my past experiences have taught me this. So am I going to spoil this film for a reader who hasn't seen it yet? If that were true I wouldn't be trying to convince people to go watch it. But they should, because they would realize that a film is not a good film unless they are entertained. So what if the entertainment is built around small intervals of confusion? Every day life is one big blob of confusion, except memories are constantly rushing in at high speed to save the day, so fast that we don't even remember we were confused in the first place. For example: How many times do you find yourself asking the question What's going to happen before?'
Here are my comments on Memento. I'm not a film buff or anything but enjoyed this film so much I decided to post my views. Where should I begin? Ah yes. First off, go watch this film now! Go.
