The prestige film

I've only missed one thing in Memento: why exactly he could remember the incident itself - since it had happened *before* the knock on the head, it should be gone.

But it wasn't, was it?

 

....just wondering, that's all....

 

A.

 

The Guy Pearce character developed short term memory span after the mugging. So he remembered eveything before the mugging. There were doubts whether he was even an insurance fraud investigator. Did you see that quick 'glimpse' of Guy Pearce sitting in the hospital seat inplace of that bloke who killed his wife with the insulin? I liked how the B & W present merges with the out-of-sequence colour at the end. Top film that definitely has to be watched twice.:)

Reason why it's very similar to Memento is no doubt due to having the same director Christopher Nolan having an influence on the screenplay.

 

Really ;)

 

Another cracking film by Nolan and fantastic performances by Bale and Jackman. If you liked Memento then you'll love this.

 

I'd say he had more than an influence on it as it was him and his brother that came up with the screenplay.

 

PS, if it sounds like I know what I'm talking about then sorry, I'm just quoting the IMDB ;)
