memento
no1 movie at the Sundance Film Festival

this movies rawks

its about this guy... who has short term memory loss..due to an injury he sustained while his wife was raped n killed by a man... n what he did was he write notes on the photos .. n notes on papers.. to remind himself what he has to do every single second.

his whole body is tattooed with reminders. reminders to do stuffs.. n cellotapes stuck on his body to remind himself to shave.. or bath. n reminders to find the killer n kill him.


wats so amazing is that the movie is in 2 parts.
black n white.. and the coloured.. the black n white goes chronologically.. from past to future.. wherelse the coloured goes from future to past.

n as both part plays... each part has its own climax... in the end.. the black n white part meets the coloured part.. bringing the present. n amazingly.. it has its own climax.

yes. it does means that the beginning of the movie is the ending of the story, but amazingly. that did not take the excitement away. n as the plot unfolds. more n more endings came in. until u realize, wat the director's msg actually is.

that was wat makes this movie so replayable. again n again. sometimes u watch it goes from past to future.. n then u need to go from future to back. again. n again. just to understand it. like him. going again n again from past to future cuz he had short term memory loss.

nope. its not a love story. neither izit an action movie. n u will not applaude it when it ends. cuz ur too stunned to do anything after such a performance.

its not predictable. n its a movie u cannot tear ur eyes away from it. cuz its damn damn damn hard to understand n piece together those lil pieces of memories.

this is the kind of movie that leaves u satisfied but unsatisfied. wanting to watch it again n again. n the kinda movie that u would still rather watch if u got stuck sitting front row in the theatre with no jacket n hps ringing all round u.

n i thought movies are shallow n pointless. boy. was i wrong.


i have never had a favourite or best movie. but i did tell lesly that i like deep stuffs.
memento is my fave n best movie now.

but i wont recommend this to unfocused/dumb/stupid/unintelligent people. u'll probably fall asleep.


must force ah b to watch with me again. if i ever reformat my pc..i'll tattoo on my breasts " download memento"


i wanna make movies like this. better movies compared to this.
