Even better after the second time...

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2002)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Last night I went and saw it for the second time. Now I know I'll have to see it for a third, and probably fourth time.
Since you all already know it's brilliant, I won't go into any more detail about that.
WARNING! SPOILERS!!! But I have a few brand new questions now, and also a few new clues (I think):
1) The story is not told entirely backwards. The b/w is forward, starting quite early in the story, the coloured scenes are backward. Those two plots 'meet' in the end. Therefore (I just saw that in another comment) it is correct that Leonard burns the picture of himself, he received it in the b/w story, thus earlier.
2) However, at the end of the movie he also writes a note:
Tattoo Fact 6 - License No.....xxx Throughout the movie he sometimes watches his own tattoos in awe, as he has not seen them before. How can he remember then that this is fact number 6???
3) Unfortunately I did not notice but my boyfriend says that in the scene where Sammy is shown in this institution, after the death of his wife, for an instant it is actually Leonard sitting in his chair.
4) I think Teddy and Natalie had a deal to use Lenny to get rid of Dodd and Jimmy and get themselves a nice bit of money. However at some point Natalie decides she wants to get rid of Teddy too (to have the money to herself? to make sure there are no witnesses?), this is why she gives Leonard a copy of Teddy's drivers license.
I love discussing this movie! There are so many different little things.... definitely my all time favourite!
