You will never forget the memories Lenny forgot

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2002)

This film is an inspiration to screenwriting and movie making. Definitely a great among greats. This film is unforgettable. It's a masterpiece!
An original idea, an amazing film. This film goes beyond any Drama or Crime Thriller story. It's about a man, Lenny. He's got a short-term memory condition. The film is well edited in the way you follow the story with more meaning to it. The film is presented backwards. It truly fits the story, great overall cinematography. Lenny's life is pretty much twisted, as his memory is weak and he has to depend on his notes and tattoos. It's hard to talk about this film with detail, as it will spoil the film. It must be seen.
One of the best written films ever. I reckon it by far deserves Oscar nominations on more aspects. The acting was well done, and every other aspect in editing was excellent. Memento should have deserved a Best Picture nomination. I don't know why it didn't. It only got 2 nominations, when it well deserved more. I don't get how the Academy Awards is run. See how good 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly' is, it was nominated nothing!
This film must be seen by everyone. It's not just a film, it goes beyond any normal film and any great film. This is an inspiration. It is the best Drama/ Thriller/ Crime/ Mystery film I have ever seen. This rates in my book as being the greatest film ever made alongside with 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly'. Highly Recommended!
