Questioning Truth

Rating: 9/10 (26 November 2017)

Long term memory is not reliable, our brain may alter what we originally see. This is a fact. As long term memory may be modified and altered, we don't care about the way things start in this movie. This is the sequence in color, the one we live as a character: Inmerse in a subjective reality (We become a part of the movie). Meanwhile the black and white sequence runs forward, in an objective perspective, completely torn apart from the reality in which we develop our judgments. The scene in which the tattoo "John G Killed" my wife appears on the chest of our main character while he rests beside her, is a color scene. We are now able to suspect he is the true killer. Visually, C. Nolan encourages us to embrace our main character's memories as not reliable, as they belong to a subjective reality. "Memories can be distorted" "They're just an interpretation" Reminded me of the famous Henry Molaison case in psychology, got me thinking what life would be like if the unreliable constructs of my memory became my whole reality.
