At first Memento seemed to be a disturbingly unlogical tale of a man being haunted by torturing memories. Then it suddenly changed to a disturbingly logical tale of a man being haunted by torturing memories. Yes, from the way the story was told, it was kind of a mix of "Usual suspects" and "Pulp fiction", but Memento was really dark.
Imagine, the only memory you got is how your wife was raped and killed. No other memories would stuck in your mind, and you'd have to take polaroids, write notes and get tattoos if you wanted to recall something that happened after your haunting memory. Imagine not to know no other feeling but revenge. And imagine someone taking an advantage of it. Not knowing who.
Memento plays with viewers mind. It makes you think, question and suspect anything and everyone. And truth is never what you expect....
