Memento

I really enjoyed this film. I felt this movie had one of the most amazing opening scenes I have ever seen. It was definantly not what i was used too, and it took a little paying attention to. This movie had a main character, and many others to compliment him. I felt it pulling me in many different directions. I didn't know who to believe and you really didn't know what was goining to happen next, even though it probably already took place. I found my self really not trust Teddy ab "his lies" because i went by what the pictures said as did Lenny. I found that to be the biggest twist of the movie, and that is what definitely threw me off the most. I like how the two sequences of scenes met in the middle.(the actual movie, and his black and white flash backs) The scenes seemed to give you clues to the truth of the story, but it was really up to your gut to choose who to believe. Like I said I really dictated the whole movie by what was written on his pictures, which really seemed to throw me off in the end. I like Lenny and his role as the main character, and the way the movie portrayed him. The movie made him seem Innocent. He wanted revenge for his wife's murder, which is totally understandable in my book. But the truth was he was being used like an assassin and didn't even know it. The way teddy and the people around him toyed with him and used his disability to take advantage of him really intrigued me. Because i felt that not only was he easy to use and abuse, he was doing their jobs very well.
I really enjoyed this movie, because it made you think. It was definitely not a normal film that i was used to, but the way that it was shot with the scenes bouncing all over the place but still leading you to the true facts really intrigued me. i enjoyed the movie memento and look forward to writing about it again.
