And he likes it that way. Memento is a highly original film, that is not easily compared to other movies. It manages to do something new. Yes, it is. But by the same token Flashbacks, cross cutting, pans, tracking shots, close-ups, wide screen, color, and even sound are gimmicks.
Gimmicks are, to a large extent, what make movies fresh and new.
In closing, I love this strange little film, and think you will love it as well. Muze Inc. For personal non-commercial use only. All rights reserved.
