I really liked the film, it definately keeps the audience intrigued. I loved the way Christopher Nolan started the movied from the end, and backtracked to the beginning...coming together full circle...its very hard to understand some parts of the film while your watching it, but once its over, it all kind of comes together. The black and white scenes where he's on the phone telling his story, and sammy's case for instance was confusing to me, i didn't understand who he was talking to, and why he would be so open about his own condition, knowing people could, and would use it against him for their own advantages, but it makes sense at the end when we find out it was teddy he was talking to, and his tattoo of "never answer the phone."
The reason why I enjoyed this movie so much is because of the way it was made to not really have closure. Films like this leave it up to the viewer to analyze the sequence of events and everything else given by the film for your interpretation of what you believe happened. It's fun, because their are so many possibilites!

In class this week I really want to stress the issue of closure in this film. Not so that we can finally decide any particular "truth" about it, but so we can think about the effects various levels of closure have. While the film does come full circle structurally, and that suggests closure, clearly the film violates any complete shutting down of interpretation.
