Review – 3/5
Although I did find the films to be a good movie I don’t think I would watch it again. I did not understand the plot because it was confusing. I could not depict one key-point in the plot, if the last thing he remembers is his wife’s death, how does he remember his short-term memory loss? As well as the two methods that Leonard tries to keep the memories he makes using polaroid photos and tattoos doesn’t appeal to me due to that they don’t pose a permaent remembrance, Maybe a Journal or online blog would help him remember what is being done or changed from previous details. I also thing that writing down things that happen don’t always work out to benefit him due to the scene when Natalie takes his pens so he cant write down how she manipulated him into punching her so she could get him to kill someone. The people around him show great annoyance because he cant remember what is going on due to only being to remember 10 minutes at a time. I think a more realistic approach would have made the movie more interesting, Living in a home or not so sketchy people as “friends”. I believe that this movie is good for ages 17 and older; I believe this due to the graphic details. The lighting in the movie made me annoyed and didn’t
