An Over View Of The Movie Memento

By taking a look at this particular piece, I can venture a guess that you might be among the many that want to learn a little more about the instant classic, critically acclaimed drama “Memento”. Likely, this could have easily been one of the best films to have been released in 2000, and there are many reasons for this honor.

While there might be several different things to consider and understand when it comes to a film like this, the best way that you can understand the film is through learning about the important events of the plot. The trouble with this is, the plot is not in chronological order, as most movies would be and therefore this becomes a little bit tricky when you go to detail the events of the film.

So for the sake of this article and the explanation of the film itself, you will simply have to excuse the film being described in chronological order, when in all actuality these events are rather spread out through the film in various orders. The reason for this is the very nature of the film, and without it being so sporadic, the film might not have been as good.

The reason, is that the main character of the piece, Leonard Shelby, suffers from anterograde amnesia. This is a condition that allows you to keep all the memories that you have up until the time you get it, but you cannot create new memories from then after. He got the condition from receiving a blow to the head when he attempted to stop two men from raping and killing his wife. He managed to kill one of the two, while the other clubbed him in the head. This blow caused the amnesia.

As unique as the experience is to watch on film, Leonard is often on the wrong end of someone’s dirty laundry or just plain getting taken advantage of. He is talked into doing all kinds of things on the premise that the individuals and events are related to finding the second killer of his wife. Anything that he feels is important to tracking down the second killer, he tattoos onto his body.

It isn’t long into the story that Lenny gets a call from a guy claiming to be a police officer (later to call himself Teddy) who has information about the whereabouts of the second killer. Lenny believes him and soon he is in route to meet this Jimmy, a slummy drug dealer. Turns out, after Lenny kills him, we learn that he had nothing to do with Lenny’s wife’s murder.

Others are introduced into the story, and more important facts are brought into play. Through the course of the film you presumably learn the identity of the second killer and get a front row seat to watch Leonard exact his revenge. This film is over run with quality performances that made the production powerful. Performances like that of Guy Pearce who played Leonard Shelby and Joe Pantaliano who played Teddy Gammel.

If you aren’t paying very close attention, the sporadic plot could potentially lose you. So, if you are aiming to watch “Memento” for the first time, make sure that you have time to devote to it, so that you don’t miss a single thing.
