Memory - The mental
faculty of retaining and recalling past experience. What
if you didn't have this? What if you could only remember
things from a certain date and its previa? Memento
is about a man who can only remember things before the
death of his wife. He has to make notes, take pictures,
and tattoo all of the important things that he must
remember or he will forget them during his sleep. The way
Christopher Nolan wrote and directed this film was an
incredible achievement.
The uniqueness of this
film was the aspect that made it good. Without this script
- it would've been nowhere. This is what makes Christopher
Nolan amazing, he wrote and directed this movie; he knew
what he wanted and he made it. When you can just make
something exactly how you planned, it usually produces a
good result. Memento definitely showed this.
To my surprise, Guy
Pierce did an excellent job in this movie. I haven't
really enjoyed his work in the past, but he just fit the
picture in this role. Everything about his look and
personality grasped this characters stereotype so well. He
was the absolute right choice for this films lead.
This film really inspires
me to continue reviewing the movies I do. It opened me up
to the world of film just as other great movies do. It
really deserves a four except I noticed some errors in
various places in the screenplay, so I am forced to give
it a three and a half. But, you should very well give it a
try. Memento is a great movie.
