HERE IS NO SPOILER, JUST THE MOVIESTRUCTURE.

It's a difficult movie. Nolan (director) has cut the movie into two pieces. Part A and Part B:
These two pieces are again cut into several minor pieces. And these pieces are presented backwards. So that you see the Beginning of the story at the end of the movie.
So the Moviestrcture is like this:
A9 B1 A8 B2 A7 B3 A6 B4 A5 B5 A4 B7 A3 B8 A2 B9 A1

The obvious Question is: Is it not boring, to watch the End first ? NO ! Because the story is so good written, that the tension gets higher when you come to the beginning of the story.


I know, it sounds weird, but works perfect. And it rewards you with the best ending of a movie.

10/10

A masterpiece, watched it recently and still holds up, not only cerebral in its clever structure but also profound in its portrayal of unresolving grief and denial as a coping mechanism.

You will feel completely lost for most of the movie, but it's all worth it in the end. Although a bit confusing at times, Memento is still engaging and entertaining. This is one of those movies that stick with you for some time after watching it and really make you think about the truth about existing in a constructed reality and the nature of the human condition. Definitely a movie worth multiple rewatches.

What a brilliant way to edit a movie and make us feel like we have short term memory loss. This holds up incredibly well and is even better with more rewatches.

The movie goes backward. I know how it ends but I was curious about how it starts! One of the best. And the start really shocked me.

This is some of the finest storytelling I have seen put onto film. The black and white scenes representing the present and the scenes filmed in color representing the past .
Christopher Nolan really is a fabulous director.
Original story written by his brother Jonathan as he did with ‘Inception’.
The film will keep you captivated and questioning every plausible possibility.
Great film noir.

The film that got Nolan noticed and rightly so. It's also important to note that the structure of the film is vital and not just a gimmick - it's easy to relay through dialogue that the character has a memory problem, but trying to put the audience into that mindset is inspired and the decision to tell the story in reverse ensures that the audience experiences the same sense of disorientation every time that the central character does. Watching the film in chronological order would just not work. Fortunately, the weaving of a secondary timeline through the narrative some clever editing ensures the film never becomes too confusing, even as the film raises more questions. Its is immensely satisfying to see the threads come together at the end though if there is a flaw, it is that film's structure ensures the audience is more focused on this than caring much about the characters themselves, but that is a minor quibble for what is a fantastic film.

One of the few films you want to watch again just after you finish it and even after that you can watch over and over again and again. This really proves there is no need for special effects or high budgets for a great film. A good script is essential if you want to see something decent and no matter what you do with no script there is no film.

No spoiler here however this movie is mediocre I could barely make it through 30 minutes without making a funny commentary the movie is extremely slow moving and for being a thriller it's deathly not very thrilling

Oh and the continuity in this movie is pretty flawed you do not inject insulin intravenously you have to put that in the belly into the paratonial cavity injection into the veins is fatal usually and apparently in this movie it's not nice job on the realism guys
