MEMENTO

Forget what they have seen, erased his memory and get ready to enjoy one of the best films in years, a new classic, a masterpiece, a strange mixture of Amnesia and crime, reports and false memories, a collection of polaroids and deception, a story told in synchrony unusual. Leonard Shelby (Guy Pierce) has a strange disease: no short-term memory, remembers exactly what happened 15 years ago, but what happened 15 minutes ago is not in his mind, so it uses an unusual method to know where is, what does and what it seeks: polaroids and notes of all events, and tattoos on his body with relevant information and important. Does the cause of the need for this? Leonard's wife was attacked and murdered in her home, and in that attack he was beaten and his brain had paid the consequences to the affected region was responsible for creating new memories, the option of life is to have a discipline that allows live without this possibility recent memory, and thus the goal is very simple: the desire for revenge leads to an investigation enabling the crime. If the premise is not in itself already interesting and unusual resolution and the narration of this story is simply wonderful: Leonard has no recent memories, and so we go looking gradually segments that occur repeatedly, providing ever more information, so that the aesthetic and narrative complete amnesia resembles the main character: take after take, repetition after repetition, the film forces us to be vigilant and tying ropes to understand what is happening and what is true (or false ) In what we see.

Nothing is what it seems, everything is just what appears when we only have a margin of 15 minutes to This form of "I think" ... Just as the character does not know what happened 15 minutes ago, there are many parts of the tape in which neither the spectators as we know, and this combination is just what makes it so enjoyable that the final product. For those to whom they are familiar faces, we must remember that Pierce came out in LA Confidential and Ravenous, and for even more confused, Carrie-Anne is the Trinity from The Matrix. The end of the tape is memorable: the lesson that we choose to believe what we believe is a reflection important and powerful, although not remember what ...
