A True movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2002)

First of all, what is a movie? Does it take you away for a couple hours then return you back to earth? No, a true movie is puzzled over, such as this one. We think one thing to the next while watching it. "why did they reveal the killer? Is the main character faking it? What the hell happened before (which by the way, i have NEVER thought while watching a movie)" This movie inspires discussion, which is something that i havent taken as a primary characteristic in a movie before.
*****SPOILERS*********

Lenord, manipulated by his "Friends" becomes a free hit-man, in the end, he decides to deceive himself to kill teddy. Why would a man do such a thing? Does he feel so betrayed that he feels teddy should die? or is it simply that he doesnt feel teddy is a worthwhile human being, and he can end his hunt for vengence by writing that he is the killer, and then believing it later. Think if you had this disorder, would you leave yourself notes that aren't true to make you feel a better person. I dont know. maybe, Lenny does. Thats what makes this movie great. you dont know why it happens that way, it just does, and it trys to explain it to you in the main characters shoes. If at the end, you feel confused, GOOD, your not supposed to understand, just interperit. As far as the "PLOT HOLE" its obviously a morons escape to call this a bad movie. Lenny explains several times about Classical conditioning, and if you understand ANYTHING about psychology, its that a person can be trained to remember something, which is what he does, AND EXPLAINS IT IN THE MOVIE.
