Memento

Christopher Nolan's Memento is one of the most interesting films that I have ever seen. It starts off with an exciting action scene where the main character kills someone named John G. At first, the audience is led to believe that the main character is the good guy on a quest to avenge his beloved wife. However, as the movie goes on it seems that our "hero" is not who we thought he was. Nolan, shows the audience the true nature of the character in a series of flashbacks and flash forwards. It is interesting to see time portrayed in a strange stream of consciousness fashion. I really enjoyed the fact that the labyrinth is in fact the main character's mind and the game he sets up for himself. At first he main character seems like he is a victim but in fact he is the one who set himself up. It also makes sense that Nolan is the one who directed this movie since he was the one to direct Inception. Inception also plays with the concept of being trapped within one's mind.
