Product Description

Point blank in the head a man shoots another. In flashbacks, each one earlier in time than what we've just seen, the two men's past unfolds. Leonard, as a result of a blow to the head during an assault on his wife, has no short-term memory. He's looking for his wife's killer, compensating for his disability by taking Polaroids, annotating them, and tattooing important facts on his body. We meet the loquacious Teddy and the seductive Natalie (a barmaid who promises to help), and we glimpse Leonard's wife through memories from before the assault. Leonard also talks about Sammy Jankis, a man he knew with a similar condition. Has Leonard found the killer? What's going on?

Amazon.com

Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential) and Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix) shine in this absolute stunner of a movie. Memento combines a bold, mind-bending script with compelling action and virtuoso performances. Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, hunting down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The problem is that "the incident" that robbed Leonard of his wife also stole his ability to make new memories. Unable to retain a location, a face, or a new clue on his own, Leonard continues his search with the help of notes, Polaroids, and even homemade tattoos for vital information.

Because of his condition, Leonard essentially lives his life in short, present-tense segments, with no clear idea of what's just happened to him. That's where Memento gets really interesting; the story begins at the end, and the movie jumps backward in 10-minute segments. The suspense of the movie lies not in discovering what happens, but in finding out why it happened. Amazingly, the movie achieves edge-of-your-seat excitement even as it moves backward in time, and it keeps the mind hopping as cause and effect are pieced together.

Pearce captures Leonard perfectly, conveying both the tragic romance of his quest and his wry humor in dealing with his condition. He is bolstered by several excellent supporting players, and the movie is all but stolen from him by Pantoliano, who delivers an amazing performance as Teddy, the guy who may or may not be on his side. Memento has an intriguing structure and even meditations on the nature of perception and meaning of life if you go looking for them, but it also functions just as well as a completely absorbing thriller. It's rare to find a movie this exciting with so much intelligence behind it. --Ali Davis

Memento is especially disturbing in the interweaving of the future and past into a labyrinth of ever changing perspectives of what is the truth, reality and intentionality. I liked the way the film pulled you along into the story by the interjection of past, present and future between the black & white scenes and the color scenes. Just when you think you know what is going on you find out that it you were wrong - Natalie is a user, Dodd and Jimmie are creeps, Teddy may or may not be the killer. At the end, the viewer is still not sure what is real, and what is the misinterpretation of reality.

Forget the movie, this case's a really cool piece of documentation style disk art. The plain looking colors & paper textures're inteesting choices for hime release, making sense to release it as the 'Limited' edition. The 2-disk holder is cleverly folded up inside. The psych report style information inside along with the separate false documents (information blacked out in some areas) keep the very isolated legend of Leonard Shelby alive in an important & relevant feeling way.
The extras on the DVDs're really cryptic stuff, coded in ways that require thinking like a patient wih knowledge of only part of the puzzle, beginning part way into the understanding of why they're searchig for these answers. You're a John G.

Memento (2000)
Drama, Mystery, Thriller, 113 minutes
Directed by Christopher Nolan
Starring Guy Pearce, Joe Pantoliano and Carrie-Anne Moss

"What's the last thing you remember?"
"My wife...dying."

I remember watching Memento on cable and buying it a few days later. It was such an original way of telling a story that I was excited to show it to my friends at the earliest opportunity.

They hated it.

The opening scene shows Leonard Shelby (Pearce) killing Teddy (Pantoliano), but that scene is actually how the story ends. Leonard suffered a head injury when his wife was murdered by intruders and hasn't been able to form short-term memories since the event. He remembers everything up to that point, such as who he is and what he did for a living, but can't build new memories.

What would it be like to wake up every day and wonder where you were? What are you supposed to be doing that day?

In order to place the viewer in a similar position, Nolan tells the story in reverse. We see events unfold and new information is introduced each time. The information changes our perceptions of the events we have already seen and the people we have already met. Who can Leonard trust? How can he keep the information readily available if he's going to forget everything?

Nolan actually tells two stories. One is in black and white and proceeds in normal chronological order. This tells the story of Leonard's life before the accident. He worked as an insurance investigator and one of the claimants, Sammy Jankis, had the same problem with his memory. A tattoo on Leonard's wrist tells him to remember Sammy Jankis, and he's able to because it happened before he suffered the head injury.

5 STAR MOVIE. 4 star for the DVD, only because the Blu-Ray looks so much better. Only bought this DVD edition for the movie-in-chronological-order easter egg. Theatrical version is, of course, 1000 times better, but it was still fun to watch chronologically at least once. It does shed a certain light on some aspects of the story and characters that are not as apparent in the theatrical version.

This movie is a fascinating, high-intensity movie. This is one of those movies you might want to watch again immediately after you finish watching it the first time. My advice is to give this movie your full attention- don't think you can get away with multi-tasking while you watch it. You really need to give it your undivided attention to thoroughly appreciate and enjoy it! Great movie, not for kids.

Two parts to this review (I'd post two separate reviews, but can't because Amazon has all Memento DVD versions folded together)

#1: Guide to Accessing Extras on 2-DVD Limited Edition

While disc 1 isn't that bad (within a few seconds, I figured out that clicking "read" accesses subtitles, "comments" turns on the audio commentary, etc.), trying to find the extras on disc 2 can be very frustrating. If you enjoy the challenge of mapping out the contents for yourself, more power to you, have a blast. For the rest of us:

I haven't gone through all 950+ reviews to see if someone has already posted this information, but I've found two websites that detail how to access everything(?) on the discs:
[...]
[...]

Edit: Ok, Amazon removed the hyperlinks, and I can understand why. So, I'll reproduce some of the information here, what I consider the most important pieces. Do your own web search if you want more.

To run the movie in reverse (i.e. chronological order):
. Select the clock icon (NOT the watch icon)
. Answer "C" to every question you're asked
. Order the photographs 3-4-1-2

To access a menu of supplements ("Anatomy of a Scene" featurette, director's script, stills/production sketches gallery, international poster art gallery)
. Select the clock icon (NOT the watch icon)
. Answer "E" to every question you're asked

There's plenty more, so do a web search if you're interested.

#2: Blu-Ray: buy 10th Anniversary Edition, not the older 'original'

I just received the 10th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray. By chance, I visited a friend who has the original Blu-ray and was able to compare.
