A great film about a tragic life.

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2013)

Of course you need to view this film 10 or more times before understanding its greatness. How Leonard is used by various characters whose paths he crosses has you wondering what kind of world is Leonard living in. But, in the end, (which is the beginning), you realize how pathetic Leonard's life has become. There are classic lines in this movie throughout. And, the incidental music is riveting. Christopher Nolan teases the viewer throughout, challenging us. The realization about what really happened with him and his wife just knocks you socks off (if you're wearing socks). And, it depresses you because we all empathize with Leonard's plight, thanks to the performance of a lifetime by Guy Pierce.
