Man the utter originality of this masterpiece. Before I saw this film, I took movies only as a piece of entertainment but after seeing Memento I realised movies are ART. It took me time to release this fact but Memento opened the doors for me to watch more original & indie movies.
Thank God I didn't knew first time watching that the movie was backwards, me digesting the film and then the spark of realisation that 'hey I saw that clip from before'. If I could forget this movie and again go through the journey of 'what, it is backwards!! Rewind rewind'
This movie is in my Top 10.Rewatching for 2nd time, after every transition I reconnect the dots and set the movie chronologically in my brain. I love this types of movies were they made me interact.
Christopher Nolan brilliantly incorporates the audience POV to the amnesia of the protagonist. This is perfectly done and I can't think of any other way to pull this kind of backwards gimmick. Thats why I love Nolan, weird concept with a masterpiece execution.
The is also filled with memorable lines like 'Am I chasing him? Nope he is chasing me.' And Nolan also snuggles a twist with the female charcater and my mind is even more blow.
At its core the movie the movie is about a guy finding his wife's murderer(we have seen that done hundreds of times) but the layers of other artists merit makes this movie perfect is my eyes.
