I didn't post anything last week I forgot but I wanted to mention 99 ways to tell a story was very entertaining. Even though it was in French it was still interesting to watch. It's cool how many different genres and music selection there is in one short film. My favorite one was the last scene, when everything was scary and gory.

Memento/Tarnation
Memento and Tarnation both were very interested to watch and both deal with psychological problems. In Memento, Leo character deals with anterograde amnesia and it's very fascinating how he spent his life searching for the killer of his wife. And it is very interesting how the movie was set chronologically everything was backwards. In Tarnation Jon mother became mentally ill because of the shock therapy she had after her accident. It's incredible how a person can change in a instinct because of accident. And Jon also encountered a very challenge life because he was put in a foster home and was abused. Both films deals with challenges of life and how people try to overcome them even if problems come their ways.

Good point here that both films access the intersection of memory and identity via stories of impaired memory!
