Mini blog post #2 Memento is a good movie

I thought the movie Memento was an excellent movie.  It was very well constructed and had an interesting twist, every film needs a good twist in it and this one sure did. It was a mind bending thriller type movie, the introduction was intriguing and confusing but at the same time put out enough for the audience to connect with the movie.

The director did a fantastic job at showing the movie in reverse, the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end. The movie didn't really make much sense to me until the very end, you couldn't predict the ending at all and that is what people look for in movies... Or at least that is what I look for in movies, I don't like to be able to predict the end of the movie and with this one I couldn't.

This film shows the importance of memory and how vital it is to the human mind.  Lenny remembers strictly by pictures with notes on them and tattoos.  He is very disconnected with the world and is continuously trying to connect.

If you really pay attention to the tattoos from the beginning of the movie one of them reads "Ive done it" that pretty much says it all.  If he really was to pay attention to his tattoos he wouldn't have a reason to live, his reason to live is to kill his wife's murderer and if he really paid any attention to his tattoos he would think he had already done that.
