Amazing movie, pay attention to it!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2008)

Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man who a has short term memory loss and needs to keep memento's around to remind him of what he did just minutes prior. Christopher Nolan beautifully interlaces human anti-trust into the script and reveals scene by scene an ugly and distorted mess that our lead guy Shelby had to endure due to his condition. Some of the madness that happens is due to Shelby's memory loss and the rest is pretty much his so called friends (who he slowly finds out like 'Teddy') are not to be trusted at all. For my first viewing I was amazed, usually it takes more than one viewing to pick it all up and understand it but I stuck my face in front of my TV for an hour and a half and paid very close attention to the scene development (which I think was just a superb idea of genius on director Nolans behalf). I would recommend this movie to anyone alive and breathing, it definitely has a ton of symbolism and best yet, its a thinking-persons movie. A+ 9/10 stars should suffice. Unlike Leonard Shelby in the movie, we the viewer have to use OUR memories in order to piece everything together, brilliant.
