The first time I watched it in February 2008, I was shocked by Nolan's level. I watched it again in September 2014, sorted out a few points I thought, and recorded it for the record.
1. Lenny's wife did die of Lenny's overdose of insulin, because Lenny had no short-term memory, he hated his fault, but couldn't face it, so he tattooed "Remember Sammy" on his wrist and thought it was his fault The behavior was passed on to Sammy so he could release his guilt, when in fact Sammy was pretending, but Lenny was the real amnesiac.
2. Teddy is a drug-trafficking policeman who worked with Jimmy in drug-trafficking. He once helped Lenny find John.G ​​who raped her wife at the time, and let Lenny kill him, but in order to take advantage of Lenny's lack of short-term memory, he took advantage of Lenny's lack of short-term memory. The records were torn, while the post-mortem photos of Lenny were kept.
After killing Jimmy, Lenny found out that he was caught in Teddy's trap. He didn't want to face the facts that Teddy said, so he designed a game for himself, so that he could finally follow his own ideas and follow, and kill Teddy unconsciously. That is, killing Teddy is his ultimate goal. He doesn't want to face reality and see Teddy as the ultimate John.G. The photo he was holding at the beginning, after the development, I believe he would have written "I have done it"
3. When Jimmy's girlfriend Natalie found Lenny wearing Jimmy's clothes, she knew that Jimmy was probably Killed, she happened to be hunted down by Dodd for $200,000, so she borrowed Lenny's memory loss and asked him to deal with Dodd for his own safety.

A very good movie, although it takes a lot of concentration to watch it in reverse order, but there is no lack of it is a good movie.
