If you are reading into this article, than you are likely looking to learn a little more about one of the greatest films to be released in the year 2000, "Memento". This film has several different reasons for being as good as it was, and many of these will be discussed within this article, along with a detailed plot synopsis.
I suppose that the best way for you to learn anything at all about this film, would be to really take a brief overview of the plot synopsis so that you can best understand the sequence of events that allow this film's climactic points to even be possible. The only trouble with just reading or writing a plot synopsis for this film, is that it follows no feasible chronological order, and therefore it becomes difficult to describe the events of the film.
To salvage the description of the film itself through the plot synopsis, some of this information might seem as though it is following a pattern, but it likely will not be a pattern that you would see within the movie. Rather, this is simply to just make it easier on you to follow along, rather than following the film scene by scene.
The reason, is that the main character of the piece, Leonard Shelby, suffers from anterograde amnesia. This is a condition that allows you to keep all the memories that you have up until the time you get it, but you cannot create new memories from then after. He got the condition from receiving a blow to the head when he attempted to stop two men from raping and killing his wife. He managed to kill one of the two, while the other clubbed him in the head. This blow caused the amnesia.
As unique as the experience is to watch on film, Leonard is often on the wrong end of someone's dirty laundry or just plain getting taken advantage of. He is talked into doing all kinds of things on the premise that the individuals and events are related to finding the second killer of his wife. Anything that he feels is important to tracking down the second killer, he tattoos onto his body.
It isn't long into the story that Lenny gets a call from a guy claiming to be a police officer (later to call himself Teddy) who has information about the whereabouts of the second killer. Lenny believes him and soon he is in route to meet this Jimmy, a slummy drug dealer. Turns out, after Lenny kills him, we learn that he had nothing to do with Lenny's wife's murder.
You meet a number of different folks throughout the story, and you aren't certain at first how they would play into the story if they even do at all. You do presumably learn (along with Leonard) who the second killer and rapist of his wife is. You get a front row seat to how he handles that situation. But this film might not have been so great, if it weren't for impressive performances by Guy Pearce (Lenny) and Joe Pantaliano (Teddy).
"Memento" can be hard to follow if you aren't paying very close attention to it. The film was likely as successful as it was given the nature of the title character's condition and how the events of the film played into the chaos that living without being able to make new memories would inspire. - 40727
