Have you seen Memento?

[Atrail]

Does Lenny's wife die?
I know she doesn't die from the attack.
But did the insulin incident really happen to Lenny and not that other guy (the faker)?
Thanks

I don't know. That movie was extremely confusing, but really really good.

I want to see it again so I can figure it out a bit more.

 

[Ameesh]

your not supposed to know, thats why its a fvcked up movie.

 

[777joee]

I saw it last summer and my head still hurts from trying to figure it out.



Gerat movie!

 

[Skel]

Yes, it happened to Lenny and not the other guy.

 

[yobarman]

its appears that lenny is the guy who kills his wife by injecting too much insulin into her. He made up the lie about Sammy? and his wife being murdered and repeated it to himself so many times that he believes it as fact. Everytime he figures out a peice of the puzzles he lies to himself because he realizes that he wont remember so when he goes blank he'll have another mystery to solve.

 

[Atrail]

I have the DVD and I watched it once and really liked it.
I let a guy up at work here borrow it and he asked me that and
I was not sure. Maybe I will watch it again tonight whenever I get
out of here.

I think it fuzzy on purpose, but I support this theory.

yeah, this is what my impression was also.

 

[Atrail]

Oh ok,
After he kills her they put him in a mental hospital. (From the website www.otnemem.com)
He breaks out of there and starts his hunt.

!!!Amazing fact!!!

This movie was shot in 25 and 1/2 days.
Pretty amazing huh!

 

[Noriaki]

It's hard to say.

Everyone interprets the movie a little bit differently.

That's the beauty of it.

Do *you* think that it's really his wife that died....or not?

There are contradictions in that movie.....I can't remember exactly, it's been a long time since I saw it....

It's all open to your interpretation.

 

[yobarman]

25 and half days is not that long for this movie. I mean very little special effects. It was very story driven and with the right preperation it's very easy to see why it can be shot so quickly.


did you know Ocean's 11 was shot in 19 days?

 

[Atrail]

Well an actor like Guy Pierce, is one of very few that could do the role justice.

No I didn't know that about Oceans 11.
Saw it, it was entertaining.
Nothing I will remember 5 years from now.

 

[yakko]

I got the DVD for christmas. I love the movie.

 

[tweakmm]

I don't know, you see... I have this condition....

(ok, I admit, I've never seen it, but my friends talk about it alot)

 

[wepopfresh]

Most likely he did. Toward the end of the movie he is laying in bed and his wife is laying there touching his chest. He already has the tattoo that says they raped and murdered his wife.

 

[TallBill]

umm.. there was nothing fuzzy, confusing, misleading or open about this movie.... everything is RIGHT there on the frickin table.. and if you still didnt get it, its all on their website

 

[yoyo25]

Well, I will be the voice of the minority...I thought the movie was dumb, they shot about 10 minutes of video and kept looping it. It didn't think the acting was that great either. But I am a big fan of most of the actors in that movie...oh well.

 

[UberNeuman]

I can't remember anything about it...

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

i just saw this movie the other night on DVD. I think that the audience can be pretty sure that Leonard killed his wife after losing his STM when his wife was raped.

What isn't so sure, is whether or not Leonard actually remembered giving his wife too much insulin. I suspect that he doesn't but is haunted by the fact that he might of.

 

[ace31216]

The director left it up to the audience interpretation.

 

[IGBT]

yep...crazy flik. :Q

 

[Saltin]

He made up the story about Sammy Jeinkens and got the tatoo on his hand ( the only one visible with his clothes on BTW) so he could at least remember how his wife died, but not that he actually did it.

 

[2cool4u]

i think my roommate watches that movie religiously and i have no clue hwat is going on in it. Too confusing for a simple mine like mine

 

[DaveJ]

Cool flick, but very confusing.... here's an article that attempts to explain the whole thing, and it actually makes some sense to me...
