If you are reading into this article, than you are likely looking to learn a little more about one of the greatest films to be released in the year 2000, "Memento". This film has several different reasons for being as good as it was, and many of these will be discussed within this article, along with a detailed plot synopsis.
While there might be several different things to consider and understand when it comes to a film like this, the best way that you can understand the film is through learning about the important events of the plot. The trouble with this is, the plot is not in chronological order, as most movies would be and therefore this becomes a little bit tricky when you go to detail the events of the film.
To salvage the description of the film itself through the plot synopsis, some of this information might seem as though it is following a pattern, but it likely will not be a pattern that you would see within the movie. Rather, this is simply to just make it easier on you to follow along, rather than following the film scene by scene.
There is a very good reason for this sporadic nature to the film, and it is because of the main character in the piece: Leonard Shelby. This man attempted years ago to stop two men from raping and killing his wife. He stopped one by killing him, and the other clubbed him across the head, giving him a condition known as anterograde amnesia, which does not allow him to make new memories.
As unique as the experience is to watch on film, Leonard is often on the wrong end of someone's dirty laundry or just plain getting taken advantage of. He is talked into doing all kinds of things on the premise that the individuals and events are related to finding the second killer of his wife. Anything that he feels is important to tracking down the second killer, he tattoos onto his body.
He receives a phone call from what he believes to be a police officer named John, though he prefers to go by Teddy. He claims that he can take Leonard to the second killer, a drug dealing punk named Jimmy, so that he can exact his revenge. What the audience learns later, is that Jimmy had nothing to do with Lenny's wife. And Teddy feeds Lenny a story about having already found the other killer a year ago.
You meet several people throughout the story, and they all play an intricate role into the very complicated nature of this plot. In the last sections of the film, you deduce along with Leonard who the second killer is, and you accompany him to exact his revenge. Though the film was written very well, you might care to take note of the incredible performances from Guy Pearce (Leonard) and Joe Pantaliano (Teddy).
If you aren't paying very close attention, the sporadic plot could potentially lose you. So, if you are aiming to watch "Memento" for the first time, make sure that you have time to devote to it, so that you don't miss a single thing.
