Review of Memento (2000) by Ajay D — 09 Nov 2015
Yes, I was like the one in a thousand that had not seen this movie when it came out, or even 10-15 years later! So, time came to sit down and watch it! It was mind-blowing! The idea behind it was so clever and so ahead of its time even for today I think. It seems like memento was one of the reasons why film-makers started thinking of "tricks" like this one in movies that came after it.
No worries, no spoilers here! Will not ruin it for you! Instead, I will give some practical directions for you to enjoy the movie without losing your mind or forgetting stuff along the way. First of all, don't turn it off in the first 20-30 minutes! It may be a bit confusing and upsetting, but it's worth to stick with it!
Try to be as sober and rested as possible while watching it. Don't put it on with one eye open cause you'll probably fall asleep and miss all the movie cues along the way even if you end up watching it till the end! So, eyes open, alert and paying attention to the details. Watching this movie and keeping a straight face about it is difficult but it pays off in the end!
