Otnemem

The film Memento, directed by Christopher Nolan, has a very unique way of playing with the audience and taunting their memory in a way. I find the way that this film is presented extraordinary. I believe that the reasoning for the order of the film, color scences backward, and the black and white forward, is to create the illusion that we are actually the main character, and share that same memory loss condition. I also think that the reason for the two different stories, Leonard's and Teddy's, is to show us that we cannot fully trust our memory at all times, just as Leonard cannot depend on his.
