2nd Best Film Ever: Spoilers.

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2003)

I was moved and inspired by this piece of art. For the curious, the only film that beats this movie is "The Godfather."
MEMENTO: *****/***** 10/10
Memento is the depressing story of a Man named Leonard Shelby trying to avenge his wife by finding her killer/raper using notes, and tattoos he gets because he was left brain damaged the night it happened. He cannot make new memories since the incident, but can CONDITION HIMSELF to remember certain things like remembering he has a condition. The film begins with a Polaroid showing the character of Teddy dead, slowly, the Polaroid undevelopes until you see Lenny put it in the camera, eat it up and then the murder goes backwards. The film goes backwards in color scenes making you feel unknowing of important facts like the main character. In between the color scenes are black and white scenes which take place before any color scenes and finally they both meet at the end. Slowly, you find out why Lenny killed Teddy.
The film is pretty much flawless in plot and has many subliminal things
Many stupid people will renounce this amazing film because of it's confusion because it demands more then one watch to completely understad it. This movie gets better every time I watch it. And the musical score is AMAZING. The score alone is a opiate. The acting is great, especially by Guy Pearce and Joe Pantoliano.
This is a must have movie and should be #2 on IMDB's Top 250 list.
