Not the kind of movie you watch every weekend...

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2007)

"Memento", I still sit around sometimes, wondering and pondering for hours trying to place myself in the protagonists shoes...What will I do? Surely you do not get to see this kind of film every now and then...yes Very Original.
The director, Christopher Nolan treats the film in a very different and unorthodox way. A quite confusing and yet very intriguingly captivating. When I first saw the movie, the starting half an hour was a bore and I was cursing myself for choosing to watch it. Then when I got the feel, and the movie started to make sense, well I was pleased with myself to have finally understood the puzzle.But then when the film ends, you are left stranded in the middle of the road, with nothing on either side, and a hell of a lot of unanswered questions.
Guy Pearce as Leonard suffers from short term memory loss, so that he can not remember thing that have happened few minutes before. His condition is caused when a man breaks into his house, killing his wife and giving him head injuries. Now he is intent on finding that man and killing him to take his revenge...the only problem being...he cant remember anything after the accident.
Go ahead and watch the movie if you want a load of tensions on your head, not your average Hollywood flick.
I personally was left dumbstruck when the film ended, not knowing what to do...and quite frankly,I would have taken up Jonathan and Christopher Nolan (Director and Story writers) by their collar and demanded answers if they had been present there in front of me.
But hats off to both of them for doing an excellent job, a story that still makes me ponder for hours...life's Memento !
