Some of the best films remain in your mind forever, and Memento – Ironically, he is one of them. If you’ve seen the movie, you will know why it is ironic: this is a film about severe memory loss.
Memory It is one of my favorite films, and is transmitted for free in multiple networks: Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, and the Roku channel, Pluto TV, Houpla, Kanopy and Plex in the United States. Unfortunately, if you are in Australia, where is the main actor Guy Pearce, you must pay to see it in Stan.
If you have not seen Memory However, a real pleasure awaits you. Here is why.
Will get your mind
Attend
Memory It is memory, or rather because of it. Guy Pearce plays Leonard, a former insurance researcher, and has lost his ability to make memories: things have hardly happened of what he has completely forgotten. That is probably connected to the violent attack that left him unconscious and killed his wife.
This is not a whodunnit, because we see WHO at the beginning of the movie: this movie begins at the end, with Leonard killing a man. What is missing is the rest: the one and why. And with Leonard’s memory completely triggered, that means that this is a kind of exceptionally bleak marmot day: every day, Leonard begins with a clean slate and the memories that have left the days that he cannot remember.
As expressed by the New York Daily News: “The second film of the writer and director Christopher Nolan is one of the most original mental games and, ultimately, to reach the screen from the usual suspects.”
It is beautifully done
Only one opinion: Memento is the best Nolan film to the date of R/Christophenolan
Here is the Empire magazine: “Although Harold Pinter did this in betrayal, this is still something special, imaginative and challenging, the exploration of Christopher Nolan’s memory and time with narration and structure.”
He continues: “The actors do a great job playing with perceptions, with both [Carrie-Anne] Moss’ femme enigmatic and [Joe] Pantolian’s impatient partner, new in Leonard every time he finds them, swinging from one friend to another and returns again. Pearce is remarkably good, maintaining this along with a vacuum in which the bewilderment, frustration, despair and fury flickering. “
It is completely confusing, in good sense
I’ve seen “Memento” twice now. Can anyone explain the end? of R/Christophenolan
“Everything is quite confusing,” said New York magazine (the review is not currently online), “but again, there were also many of the classic cinema -Noirs.” And Boulder Weekly found him “memorably amazing.”
It is definitely a film that benefits from repeated visualization. “Memory It is one of those puzzles whose pieces come together with each vision, “said Entertainment Weekly.” Feeding everything is a action by Guy Pearce that is as indelible as the tattoo ink that covers his body. “
As Time Out wrote: “There is a work A of all interested parties, especially Pearce, but in the end this is the Nolan movie. And delivery, with revenge.”
