Momento

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2007)

Momento is a movie about a man who has short term memory loss, and he must use his tattoos and pictures to live his life day by day to solve the mystery of who killed his wife. So every morning he wakes up trying to remember what happened the night before. He has to look at pictures with people on them to know if he can trust them or not. As for the tattoos, he has facts all over his body to remind him why he needs them to help find who killed his wife. I thought this movie was very confusing at first. I honestly was sitting there like do I really have to watch this. As the movie went on, it got more interesting and started to make more sense bit by bit. I like that they made you think, because I like movies like that. I have never seen a movie that started backwards and worked it way frontwards. The movie kept having all these twists, and I had to keep changing my mind as the clues kept getting clearer and clearer. This was the first movie that I still was thinking about the next day. The movie had a satisfying conclusion that summed up the movie, in the concluding scene. It made all confusion go away and cleared up everything.
