The best film you've never heard of. Yeah, it's got some violence in it, but overall it was breathtaking. I loved it, and I'd love to see more films do stuff like this--break the boundaries of traditional filmwork, and test your limits. It kind of reminded me of K-Pax. Anyway, anyone else see this movie? Love it? Hate it?

I've never seen it, but I loved K-Pax. Now, I'll have to look it up. MEmento?

Yes, *ME*mento. And it *is* really good. Whoever thought a story told backwards could make so much sense?

So what? It's still amazing to watch. I knew it was a "backwards" movie when I went to see it for the first time, and I was still blown away by how well it's done.

I agree, Shooraijin. It was the best backward movie I've seen where it kept the flow and interest level up, even though you pretty much already knew what was going to happen. "Memento" is just a really good movie.

Implying others?

It's a great movie and as Cephas said, it will fold your brain in half. I watched a couple of months ago, and I'm still trying to figure out
[SPOILER]how much Natalie set him up. I'm blown away by how he set himself up[/SPOILER]

Stunning.

And the part that really blew me away, personally, was that despite the fact that you *supposedly* knew the end of the story, the real twist came right at the beginning of the story, at the end of the movie!

Augh, I have a headache now, just writing that. :stressed:
