A thriller like none you’ve seen before accurately describes Memento, starring Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss. It is a story told backwards, which can sometimes cause the plot to drag and seem repetitive. Other than that, it is a groundbreaking film in the format and storytelling of its choice. Also, the fact that the main character can form no new/short term memories creates a story worth telling.
Memorable quotes from Memento:
Leonard Shelby: We don't need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different.
Leonard: Who did this to you?
Dodd: You did.
Leonard Shelby: Okay, so what am I doing? Oh, I'm chasing this guy. No ... he's chasing me.
Natalie: What's the last thing you do remember?
Leonard Shelby: My wife...
Natalie: That's sweet.
Leonard Shelby: ...dying.
Leonard Shelby: Now... where was I?
Leonard Shelby: I always thought the joy of reading a book is not knowing what happens next.
Leonard Shelby: How can I remember to forget you?
Teddy: You don't know who you are anymore.
Leonard: Of course I do. I'm Leonard Shelby. I'm from San Francisco.
Teddy: No that’s who you were! Maybe it's time you started investigating yourself.
Leonard Shelby: I don't ... feel drunk.
Leonard Shelby: We all have nightmares to remind ourselves who we really are.
Teddy: Ya know, I've had more rewarding relationships ... but at least I can keep telling the same jokes.
Leonard Shelby: Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.
Leonard Shelby: I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning... even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there.
Leonard Shelby: These tracks are just a few days old.
Teddy: What are you, Pocahontas?
Leonard: The world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?
