Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

Masterful Movie

Tobias Burrows

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Let me begin by saying that this is, without a doubt, one of my top 5 favorite films of all times! This film deserves to be watched at least 2-3 times to fully comprehend the story and to truly appreciate the master piece this film really is.Imagine yourself in a tragic situation where you and a loved one are involved in a car accident, the other person dies immediately from the impact of the crash, and you survive but suffer serious brain injuries that affects the functionality of an essential part of your brain where all the short term-memories are stored; Moreover, due to your brain injury you are diagnosed with Anterograde Amnesia, which means that you lose the ability to create new memories, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. Furthermore, let's suppose that the last thing you fully remember is witnessing your loved one die in the accident, and everything else you experience in your present life fades away during your sleep every night or within short periods of time. In such hypothetical situation, how can you heal your grief if you can't feel the passage of time? How can you heal if the most recent and profound memory you have is of your loved one dying? How can you find meaning and purpose in your new life if you cannot retain new feelings, memories, and experiences to reflect upon tomorrow or the future? It's a tough situation to imagine yourself in, isn't it? This is the philosophical theme that Memento (2001) presents in a unique multilayered storyline in which the past and the present collide, and just like the main character, the audience questions what is real and what is not.I highly recommend this film! One of my all time favorites.

One of the best title in my list. Those frames are visualized in un-forgetable way.

For all these years, I had a presumption that its no different than Ghajini(Tamil/Hindi), but I was totally wrong. It was way different, actually there was no link b/w them except the concept(that too was modified). But, seriously the movie let me into a dilemma, I didn't get to understand it completely even after watching it after 18years, may be I'll have to watch it multiple times to get it. I liked the way the movie went backwards breaking all the screenplay rules. I get it on why it is called as one of the cult classics.
