Memento
"You don't want the truth. You make up your own truth."
Whats going on? Memento, an amazing mystery thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. First of all, Memento has a very good plot in my opinion; I really like films with mystery and crime, and this movie has both. Sure the plot is somewhat difficult to follow at first, but as you go through it gets easier. The arrangement of the timeline is so unique, this makes memento stand out from other mystery thrillers, or any other movie I’ve seen so far.
The acting is pretty good, Pierce’s performance was on point, his portrayal of Leonard was fulfilling, nothing too extra, even the secondary characters were played well.
The cinematography is good but not Nolan’s best by far, it’s not visually stunning, but the use of color to differentiate the timelines was actually perfect yet still confusing, but considering the tiny budget a lot was done the way it should. In the end I think this is a fantastic film that everyone should watch, my final rating is 9/10.
