Memento

[flipandbaker08]

Can someone please explain to me what I just watched ?

[gloriousmuse]

i wish i could but i havent seen it since theatres. but i had to get someone to explain it to me as well.

[flipandbaker08]

I feel like I need to watch it again

[notoaststereo]

I feel like I need to watch it againyou're going to need to watch it a few more times. if you have the special edition dvd, there is an easter egg to play the movie in chronological order, but it makes the movie boring.

i loved Memento though.

[Jessooker]

I love that movie.

[irthesteve]

You just watched my favorite movie of all time

[garggggh]

Wait, are you serious.

The film starts from the end and ends with the beginning.

[irthesteve]

Wait, are you serious.

The film starts from the end and ends with the beginning.
actually it kinda starts in the middle then intersperses the previous events with the future events

The Prestige > Memento

[micahistheballs]

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. It's just so good. You catch something new every time you watch it.

[Chris Fallon]

What you just saw is easily one of the most inventive cinematic triumphs ever made.

I used to own this movie, but my friend borrowed it and his car got stolen with the film in the trunk.

That was all I cared about when he told me about the car.

[micahistheballs]

Oh man, that's hard. Both movies are so damn good. The endings shocked me in both so much.

[drudo182]

Did he buy you another copy of the film? I assume not since you said "used".

[Jessooker]

My dvd of this was stolen, I still need to replace it.

[drudo182]

The Prestige is easily my favorite Nolan film. He hasn't made a bad film but that's my favorite.

[drudo182]

What's the deal with people stealing this movie?

[Jessooker]

I wonder the same thing.

[drudo182]

My copy just got stolen.

[Jessooker]

hahaha. I wouldn't doubt that.

[Chris Fallon]

Did he buy you another copy of the film? I assume not since you said "used".

Nope. What a dick, huh? Needless to say, we aren't friends any longer.

Not for that occurrance though, hahaha

I should produce my own version of Memento with me trying to recover my copy of the film with tats all over my body.

Yeah, that's low. My friend lost my copy of Prisoner of Azkaban and he kindly went out and got me another copy and find the original one like an hour later. What a great guy.

And yeah, you should do that movie. Get working on it.

I'm majoring in film and video at the school I go to - maybe for one of my student films I'll parody that haha

You should search for Derrick Comedy on YouTube and watch their skit related to this movie.

The Prestige > Memento
nah... but they are both sweet

[drudo182]

Yeah, that would be hilarious.

I'm majoring in digital film production at my school as well. Rock on.

I'll look that up as well. I think I might be friended with on there too. Sounds familiar.

[drudo182]

nah... but they are both sweet

drudo182 > irthesteve

!!!

Just kidding, but come on, Bale, Jackmen, Caine... All together in a Christopher Nolan film. Plus magic tricks and a twisted timeline. Can't beat it.

Don't forget Scarlett Johansson and her mad cleavage too.

[meliisssaaaa]

I feel like I need to watch it again

yeah, you should definitely watch it a few times. once you understand it you appreciate it a lot more. it's an awesome movie...

[IAmNietzche]

The Prestige > Memento
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Wha? HAHAHA

[drudo182]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Wha? HAHAHA

Doesn't surprise me you would disagree. I don't think our tastes necessarily match up well.

[chokeychicken]

you just watched a fantastic movie

[IAmNietzche]

Doesn't surprise me you would disagree. I don't think our tastes necessarily match up well.
I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing with you.

i just like memento better because i have seen it 7 or 8 times and catch something new every time, it's just a much deeper story.

[garggggh]

I still have to see Insomnia. Anyone? Good, bad, meh?

[IAmNietzche]

I still have to see Insomnia. Anyone? Good, bad, meh?
Meh. And my opinion is gospel.

[WakingTheMisery]

I honestly hated this movie.

[sdbrown]

I have it on old school VHS. It's one of my favorite movies but got packed away in a box when we moved 3-4 years ago.

[drudo182]

Meh. And my opinion is gospel.

Go figure. Don't agree with that one either.

[irthesteve]

I honestly hated this movie.
that hurts to hear

[chokeychicken]

how can you hate this movie?

[WakingTheMisery]

Easy. I watched it, pieced it together, and decided it would be a better, although shorter, movie if it just played straight through. I feel like it over does things.

[IAmNietzche]

It would be boring as fuck if it ran chronologically. Nothing much really happens.

[WakingTheMisery]

The story doesn't have any resolve either from what I recall. Correct?

[IAmNietzche]

The story doesn't have any resolve either from what I recall. Correct?
The resolve comes from the big reveal at the end (beginning chronologically) that he intentionally forgot (again) in order to continue the search which was the only thing that gave his life meaning.

[garggggh]

I liked the non-linear plot and it correlates well with his amnesia. Makes you feel like you got smashed in the head too.

Ooo deep.

[irthesteve]

Incorrect

[nhoium]

top 10 easily

[WakingTheMisery]

oic

[pinklipgloss]

I still have to see Insomnia. Anyone? Good, bad, meh?

Watch the original.

[ActorInThisPlay]

such a great movie...

[pshh]

nolan is a genius, memento is easily one of my top favorite movies of all time next to the prestige

[shinedown114]

Memento is one of my sisters top 5 movies and i have to say its one of my top movies as well, just everything about the movie, the acting and the story line and the way they presented it, just amazing.

[lilRIPsta]

Christopher Nolan is a god. as well as his brother for writing this story

I just got the 2 Disc edition. Those menus are frustrating as hell, but I love this movie so much.

[heyozzie]

bahaha, im right there with ya. the first time i popped it in, i was just like, jesus i just wanna watch the movie and i can't figure out what to select. i felt like a dope.

i really haven't seen much of guy pearce's stuff, he's kinda got an interesting filmography. death defying acts looks pretty tight though.

and yes, this movie, and nolan, are awesome.

This is the only movie I've seen with Pearce in it and I've seen all of Nolan's films except for Insomnia and Following and I love them all.

did you find the disc 2 bonus feature where you can watch it chronologically? Definitely worth checking out

[micahistheballs]

Yeah, I found a guide to it online. I can't wait to watch it like that.

[Machu505]

Bump for great movie that I just watched.
