Following a non-linear unique structure of storytelling (one timeline moving forward and the other moving backwards), Memento is a clever cerebral piece that explores themes such as memory and identity. It's about the hold that identity has on us and how it can even overshadow the loss of short-term memory. Compared to facts, memories are irrelevant sinse they're inacurate and easy to forge with the mind. Interpretation aside, this movie's a real mindfuck and after nearly 2 hours of watching YouTube videos, I officially have a headache.
The editing's the real star here, it's fascinating that with so many timejump fragments it somehow all fits together and flows great. I like how the movie adresses that people always take advantage of disabled individuals, it's done in an enlightening way. Leonard Shelby is truly an excellently well-written character. Sublime use of colors mixed with black & white, great acting, perfect direction and a clever puzzle narrative that'll leave you thinking. This one demands a second viewing!
