The first time I watched it, to me, it was a movie that could be regarded as either without a beginning and an end, or as a movie with a beginning and an end throughout.
From the very beginning, I was convinced that Leonard was trying to find the murderer of his wife, that Teddy was the murderer, and that Natalie was a kind helper.
There is a small detail in the film. When Leonard entered a hotel, he did not remember whether to push or pull the door. He pushed the door first and found that it would not work, and then pulled the door. If he is eager to remember certain things through inertia, this Suffice it to say that this is impossible.
And when I thought it was almost over, the truth didn't go in the direction we expected, and the place where Natalie got in the car and returned after being injured by Leonard lied that it was Jimmy's injury, and Leonard believed this. No doubt, I suddenly felt a sense of collapse. It turned out that from the beginning to the end, I was also deceived, and there was no concept of who was right and who was wrong.
I feel that this movie is related to "Trueman" in some way. It is also a seemingly simple world, Trueman's ordinary life, Leonard's firm belief, but what a complicated and terrible black hole behind it, you can say that Trueman is pitiful, Because everyone is cheating on him; you can also say that Leonard is pitiful because everyone around him is using him for their own benefit.
From my personal understanding, the deep level of films of this type is to reflect the current society, our real life, and the word sincerity has long been written in history. Then, who will pity us?
Who is the true man?
and,
Whom can be trust?

    A murder caused by a needle.

    When the memory is fragmented, how can we find the truth? The movie uses flashback techniques to step by step to get us closer to the truth. This movie really catches people and makes people eager to know what the result is. The suspense is very well done, and it’s a very brain-burning movie.

Memento quotes

  • Leonard Shelby: If we can't make memories, we can't heal.

  • Leonard Shelby: [voiceover] So where are you? You're in some motel room. You just - you just wake up and you're in - in a motel room. There's the key. It feels like maybe it's just the first time you've been there, but perhaps you've been there for a week, three months. It's - it's kind of hard to say. I don't - I don't know. It's just an anonymous room.
