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?

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.
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

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

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.
