Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2001)

How real are our memories? Good or bad, they make our decisions, and when you think about it, they are what a life adds up to. But how real are you when you can't have new ones? When your last is always the same? In this heartbreaking film from writer~director Christopher Nolan, that's the problem in Leonard Shelby's day.
As Leonard Shelby looks for the pieces of his life, you begin to think about how yours fit togeather. Which ones are real? Which were made to help you get by? You thought that his journey would just be interesting, but it makes you think about how real your own is.
Sometimes you remember things that meant something, and try to hang onto them. Leonard barely has the best memories of his murdered wife to keep him company. When he closes his eyes, to keep them all togeather, it's one of those movie moments where you understand that it came from the writer's memory, a place that you can only see, and can't describe~those wonderful moments where your life happens. What if you had to remember them to keep going?
You may be surprised by Leonard's journey, but it is the story of a man who does what he thinks is right. And only has his memories to keep him happy.
