Welcome to Bob's Movie Reviews for Drama Movies, your online source for information on everything imaginative.

Memento

A man's wife is raped and murdered and he suffers a great head trauma that leaves him incapable of making new memories.  He knows who he is, everything about his life, and his beloved wife but only up to the point when he was injured.  He now lives in a world where everything is forgotten mere minutes or less as soon as he is distracted or he nods off to sleep.  Still he pursues the man that did this to him and took away his wife.  He is haunted by her death because it is always the last thing he remembers;  it is a sore that will never go away.  Armed with an array of notes, a Polaroid camera and a growing number of tattoos of the most important information he continues to track his quarry.

Memento is a complicated non-linear movie where things happen out of order moving backward in time and forward in the plot while other threads swirl their way around seemingly at random until everything pulls together and it all makes sense.  This is one of those high art movies but doesn't come across as pretentious or otherwise full of itself.  The acting is excellent and the plotting is amazing, filled as it is with tension, suspense, excitement, and intrigue galore as you follow along in the shoes of a man who must suspect everyone yet know who to trust and how far.  This is one of those amazing films that will leave a mark on the viewer and instil a great sense of appreciation for the joy it is to remember everything, this film included.
