Memento. A man was attacked by his wife because his wife was raped and killed, and his brain was affected-short-term amnesia. He remembered everything before the tragedy, but he couldn't remember any current events. But he has a persistent belief: memory is not important, because memory is unreliable, only facts are reliable, and he can take revenge on facts. Whenever he learned an important fact, he would write it down: tattoo it on his body, or take a snapshot and write a comment. On his body, the motive of revenge is tattooed. In his pocket, there are photos of several people. A woman, he wrote that this is someone who can be trusted, and she has also lost a loved one, she can help you out of grief. A man with glasses, he wrote: Don't believe his lies.
Countless fragments.
There was a person in the hotel closet, and he asked in horror: Who made you like this? The rushing answer: You!
He ran and didn't understand why he was running. At this moment, he saw another running person, and he thought: Oh, I am chasing him! At this time, the man saw him and rushed over with a gun. He quickly turned around: Oh no, he was chasing me!
He has been stubbornly insisting on his own methods and constantly acting. I once thought that he could complete the task of revenge. I believe in his theory of unreliable memory and reliable facts. I believe his method of obtaining facts is effective until. . .
The film gradually unfolds, and the truth emerges.
The woman who seemed to be an alliance and a lover, the woman he wrote down that he could trust, when they first met, collected the saliva of three people in a cup of coffee in front of him, and then a few minutes later. Then he handed it to him--he didn't remember, when he drank it, there was the laughter of the funny fat guy beside him.
She insulted him in front of him and insulted his dead wife, causing him to punch her in the face with rage. At this time she told him: You stupid pig, I want to use you, I will use you now! Then she went out the door. He frantically searched for a pen in the room to write down this important discovery, but there was no pen everywhere. At this time, the woman who had been sitting in the car outside for a few minutes walked in again. He raised his head and looked at her, looking at the scar on her face: What happened to you? The woman said with a sad expression: I was beaten, you have to help me!
And the glasses he marked as untrustworthy were actually the policeman in charge of the case. He told him that his wife’s case was broken long ago, and he personally helped him catch the criminal. He also reminded him to look at the photo he had just taken after catching the criminal: the photo shows him pointing at his tattoo and expression. Very happy! But then he forgot, and then he began to revenge again and again. The police really didn't want to play with him anymore.
is this real? In this way, let the police and his truth take away the purpose and meaning of his life? A moment of astonishment made him make the decision to continue to deceive himself. At this moment, he burned the happy photo after he caught the criminal, and wrote under the photo of the policeman: Don't believe his lies.
The structure of this movie is very difficult. The fragments of time and space intersect, two small steps forward and one big step backward, generally a flashback. To be honest, I have become less and less concerned about tricks in technique. If it's just playing tricks, I wouldn't have much interest in a movie. But MEMENTO is still a good movie because of the emotion woven in the complex structure. When he saw him being used and manipulated ruthlessly and shamelessly, when he kept burning his wife's relics, he still couldn't get rid of his memories, when he finally burned the evidence of the real facts and wrote down lies that deceived himself. . . I can't help but be moved.
All human beings are such lonely poor creatures.
