wow, really intriguing.
Now tidy up my thoughts.
Lenny’s wife was indeed raped, but she did not die. Later, because of L’s short-term memory loss, the diabetic wife tested whether he was really amnesia, and was given continuous injections and was killed. The Sammy and S wife described by L are the experiences of L and L’s wife. (It's a bit like a kick-off from the juvenile school)
The murderer who raped L's wife was killed by him a year ago, but L has forgotten. Therefore, L has been constantly looking for the murderer.
Teddy, formerly named John? · Ganmal, a policeman, L's friend. Because L has lost his memory, he has always been motivated by revenge. T took him to the discount inn and helped him find a drug dealer as a scapegoat-Jimmy. As a result, Jimmy was really killed. After Jimmy was killed, Teddy told Lenny the truth. Lenny quickly forgot. After getting in the car, he forgot Teddy's words. In Teddy's photo, he only wrote one sentence: DON'T BELIEVE HIM. He regarded Teddy as the next murderer. He took away the 200,000 that Teddy had blackmailed Jimmy, and drove away Jimmy's car. (The money and the car are also the insurance money Lenny thinks after the death of his wife) The
movie has always been around this part of killing Teddy. Lenny went to the bar to find Natalie (in the second half of the movie)—Jimmy's girlfriend. N spit on him and gave him a bartending test. Lenny passed. Then help L check Teddy, and because he knew that Teddy had a deal with Jimmy, Jimmy never came back (because he was killed by L), and the 200,000 he took to the deal disappeared. Dodd thinks that the N couple swallowed the money and the drug. Intimidate N. N asks L to deal with Dodd.
Finally, back to the beginning of the film, L killed Teddy in the cabin.
So far, END.
