Get lost and you will be disappointed. Pay attention and you will enjoy the film. During the first five minutes, it is interesting to see a polaroid picture slips into a camera, the camera's flash illuminates, the empty shell from a handgun flies into the shell ejector, the gunshot, and the gun shot victim becomes alive. As confusing as it seems, the entire film unfolds backwards. Analytical viewers and mystery lovers will appreciate Memento.
Memento is more than a movie.
It is a work of art. Bear with the first thirty minutes and the brain, in every viewer, will start unraveling the mysteries. If you liked the twists and turns in The Game, this film is for you. Viewers will also see the pain short-term memory creates in life. A car accident or tumbling down a flight of stairs could change a person's life forever.
