"Memento" for the rest of life

Just saw this movie (Memento) yesterday....amongst the finest movies ever to hit Hollywood.....one is awe-struck with the manner in which the film is shot/edited....each scene shot fits into the frame perfectly.....the screenplay too is class apart...if someone needs to take a lesson in editing, story telling and screenplay then one needs to watch this film first.....the story is narrated in a highly convoluted manner juxtaposing scenes in the reverse chronological order (shown in color) and chronological order (black and white scenes).....though nominated for academy awards in 2002 for best screenplay and editing it didnt win the awards.....however this film went on to win several awards in the screenplay, editing and best picture category......

Director Christopher Nolan is at his best...i am desperately waiting for The Prestige to come out on DVD on 20th Feb.....Nolan has struck thrice in a row now (Memento, Batman Begins, Prestige).....Guy Pearce(Leonard) and Joe (Teddy) have acted really well.....

this film leaves a lot of questions unanswered and particularly the climax opens a can of worms which leaves the audience with 1000 questions in mind.....

a must see film for all hardcore movie fans.....not to be missed
