Everyone can change their memory.

In the play, Leeny's last words can't be remembered clearly, probably because he admitted that memory is very important. In the previous clips, he has always been very confident. Those notes and tattoos can remind him to remember things.
But memory is never reliable. As he said, he wants to live a meaningful life, so he is willing to forget the reality of his revenge and find a purpose.
But everyone will modify their memory to obtain happiness, forget misfortune, forget pain, and forget guilt. I can do it too. I feel the powerlessness of lenny.
If lenny really exists in the world, I don't think I'll be able to say anything if I see him.

    An interesting attempt to break the connection between the signifier and the signified, and made an extremely interesting article on the relationship between memory and evidence. A masterpiece of brain science movies. In addition, the ending is really good. On the one hand, the male protagonist is used twice, on the other hand, he is actually lying to himself...

    [A] Those kids who say Nolan’s movies are brain-burning are either grandstanding or they really don’t have their brains to watch it. What is commendable about this film is not the so-called "brain burn" at all, but the satisfaction of the accumulation and analysis of information in the process of watching the movie, and the satisfaction of knowing the answer at the last moment. In this regard, Nolan is unsurpassed. (Oh, there is another question. Who instructed Lanny to tattoo the phrase "Don't answer the phone"?)

Memento quotes

  • Leonard Shelby: When I looked into his eyes I thought I saw recognition. Now I know. You fake it. If you think you're supposed to recognize somebody you, you just pretend. You bluff it to get a pat on the head from the doctors. You bluff it to seem less like a freak.

  • Teddy: So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that. We all do it.
