Memento (Limited Edition) Reviews
Who wants to take a psychiatric evaluation on their TV screen, Not Me.
The movie rocks. It's thought provoking, ground-breaking and unconventional. I give it 5 stars.
It's too bad that they took this same approach to the grossly misguided DVD menu design. The menus play out like a psychiatric evaluation with multiple choice answers that have nothing to do with anything, especially when all you want to do is get to the movie and supplementary material. Who wants to go through a frustrating process seemingly on an unending loop just to get to the movie and unlocking other DVD features? I was not amused. I hated this DVD treatment.
A TAUT MASTERPIECE OF SUSPENSE
"Memento" is a masterpiece of suspense. I highly recommend this film to all viewers. Guy Pearce portrays [Leonard Shelby] a former insurance agent who is trying to track down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The problem is that Leonard has short-term memory loss due to a blow to his head when his wife was attacked.
Therefore, as a result, the character Leonard Shelby does not have the capability to remember anything within the last 10 minutes. Whenever Leonard has a conversion or reads something, he must write it down, or tape it or he will forget. To do this he resorts to photographing people he meets, and tattooing his body in order for him to remember the most important information which he feels will help him find his wife's killer.
The interesting part of this film is that it begins at the end and then proceeds backwards in reverse chronological order. Joe Pantoliano portrays the character [Teddy]. And where Teddy's loyalties lie leave the viewer in suspense. The entire movie is a masterpiece in script-writing, and it is thoroughly worth the watch. I highly recommend this movie to all viewers.
