Mind-blowing!

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2015)

This is the typical movie where you have to pay attention to every detail! I really like the way the story is told, even more than the plot itself! It put you in the situation where you, like the main character, are not able to view the entire story in one single line. You are confused as long as you watch the movie, and you are even after. But then you got the occasion to put all the pieces together, rather than Leonard! I would like to try to put those pieces together now, discovering the real meaning of the movie, so if you haven't watched "Memento" yet, stop reading this! His wife was really raped by two bad guys, but she survived. He develops a psichiatric condition, and he can no longer remember new things. The wife is diabetic, and tests him by letting him inject her a lot of insulin. If you paid attention, there is a scene where he's preparing insulin, between one of those where the famous Sammy is doing it. And, in the end, we can see his wife hugging Leonard while his chest is nude, and he has the tattoo "he raped my wife etc". For this, he was moved to a psichiatric clinic. He could not live anymore realizing what he did to his wife, because he remembers, as long as his condition is mental (yes, it's a real disease, but he phisically can store new memories), so he invents a puzzle where John Q. killed his wife in Leonard's last memory: the rape. Freddy is the cop to whom the case of the rape was assigned. He starts helping Leonard, giving him the files records etc. Lenny finally kills the man who raped his wife, but then continues to manipulate his own memories! He put away 12 pages of the records, deletes many sentences etc. Freddy now decides to use Leonard to kill people, to become rich, because the main character won't remember anything. But Natalie understands what's going on, and helps Lenny to kill Freddy, in order to avenge her boyfriend. Leonard itself wanted to kill Freddy, because he told him the truth, and he can't hold it.
