I'm happy that you didn't lose your humanity there at the end. Memento is almost a case study of the audience, since we are schooled to always root for the protagonist. I've noticed several people who cannot reconcile with the twist, resulting in that they try to defend Leonard's actions despite the knowledge he is a serial-killer.

Well regardless of if he's innocent or not you have to admit that Teddy did deserve it because whether or not originally he was doing this to help Leonard He was basically using him to take care of some people so that he can make his career look better while also getting paid extra so hopefully after his death it will be the end.

I saw this movie in the theaters back when it came out, and I was blown away and made me an instant fan of Nolan. The one line that still impacts me to this day, and IMO is the most brutal line in the film, is..."how can I heal, if I can't feel time?" He'll never be OK and will repeat this until he dies. Tragic. Such an incredibly deep film.

By going backwards in time the viewer experiences things in a similar way that Lenny does, you have no memory of past events, but at the same time you can see the impact of past events.

I’d argue it’s STILL the best film Nolan has put out to date! While some of his later entries are pretty great and the Dark Knight is definitely excellent, I still think this subjective way of capturing the character’s struggles with memory/epistemology was insanely well-realized here. Plus Guy Pearce and the supporting cast all do quite well in their roles! I think the best films to react to are those with not only interesting plotting/characters, but those that say a lot philosophically via said plotting/characters 💁🏻♀️ Anyway great reaction! Looking forward to your next upload!

No question, you are right! Nolan has steadily been declining since Memento, to the point where TENET is where I gave up on him. I'm not bothering with any more of his self-absorbed gimmicky concepts trying to show off how clever he can be and his increasing incapability of making his films comprehensible.

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t answer phone calls because he realised that if he forgot mid conversation who he was talking to. Then he had no way of knowing who it was.

No other movie does this. It moves forward but goes backwards down a tangent, forward again back down a tangent etc.. He has such an awful deal with his memory that he has to make up a life for himself to get through his day. At the end you can see on his body that everything he has told you about his wife could not have happened the way he says it did. Even that was made up. Mind blowing and this style of story telling will never be repeated. This movie will always stand out on its own.

This is one of my favorite movies. So many little details. Leonard writes things that are true, or that he wants to believe are true, in print, and things he doubts or knows to be false in cursive. He tattoos "remember Sammy Jankis" on his hand in cursive. So somewhere in his fractured mind he knows exactly what he's doing. You might even say he chose his hand for the tattoo because it's in an easy spot to look and remind himself of the charade. Conditioning himself to "remember". You can "unlock" the movie in chronological order on the special edition DVD. You have to choose the correct answers in a mock test, then it plays. It's probably on the blu-ray too, without the hassle lol. It's interesting, but I think the film works much better the way Nolan presented it.

That said, it was gratifying to see you two watch it *unprepared* and were still able to get it! RECOMMEND: Another movie from that time, with a similar artistic conceit, is RUN LOLA RUN. It also plays with time, but with surprising vibrance and fun! I think you two would *really* enjoy it. I watch a lot of reaction channels and I think you guys are doing good, smart reacting!

Since you posted this a few months ago you may not read this, but wanted to comment anyway. One of my favorite films. Brilliant film about how crucial memory is to our connection to "Reality". I think it's Nolan's best film. Guy Pearce gives one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. I think he should have won an academy award for his performance. I enjoyed your reaction, but have one suggestion that may get more viewers. Please put the film audio at a level viewers can hear. Anyone that hasn't seen the film will likely tune out fast if they can't follow the film audio. I have no problem with blurring the video at points, but the low audio is not great. Just mean this as a helpful suggestion. 🙂

I always think Natalie has the most interesting arc. At first she seems like a decent person. Then she seems irredeemably awful for the way she uses Leonard. But then it becomes a bit more nuanced when you realise that the first time she meets Leonard he's driving her boyfriend's car and wearing his clothes. She knows he's probably dead, and she knows Leonard is involved. So...can you blame her?

Dude why so hostile? That's a pretty extreme response to a relatively small issue. Speaking for myself, I don't watch reactions to understand what's happening in the film in question, I'm more concerned with the reactor's response to, and analysis of, it. I don't watch reactions to films that I'm not already very familiar with and I don't know why anyone would, so it's hardly a deal breaker if some of the details are obscured in some way.
