Personally i am excited to watch Memento. I have never seen this film before but i hear from friends that it is great. Im also excited to watch this film because it was nominated for a golden globe AND an academy award. I also enjoyed the idea that Christopher Nolan based the movie off Johnathan Nolans (his brother) book Memento Mori.
I cant wait to watch how the movie is shot using 2 separate narratives. According to wikipedia the narrative that is shot in chronological order is in black and white, while the color scenes are reverse chronological order, and having each narrative "meet" at the end.
This definatly sound like a film that I will enjoy very much. See you in class!

You should make sure you read the material on the main class blog. There you will find that the film is NOT "based" on a short story (NOT a book). The genesis of both works is much more interesting (in face the story was published after the movie was finished). While there are two "tracks" in the film's image structure, they are not really separate, nor do the two exactly meet at the end of the film, either (Is this wikipedia? I thought the entry there was better than these descriptions. I'll have to check it out again).
