The reason i chose this movie, memento is because i get a good memory for the story. i have never seen a movie have a lot suspense like this. when i start watch this movie for the first one hour even didn't get any idea of the story. Until the film nearly finish than i find the answer for the problem from beginning. When i finish this movie i still can find some problems don’t understand. It makes me want to see it again. i can find new things on every time I watch this movie. The beginning of a movie is very important for it. The film memento start from beginning just gives us suspense. Who is the person that holds the gun? Who is the man that be killed? Why every thing is flashback? Make audience to think before the movie start. Than find the answer until the end.
And Christopher Nolan use special technique lead us wander between colorand black & white intertwined, let audience feeling of get into this film
After i watch the movie i just ask myself "if my memory fragmentation, what will happen of my life?" I may say:" some memory better forget."
