Memento - Stunning screenplay!


Memento, a nervewracking psychological thriller, is one of the best modern day works... The film is directed by the "christoper nolan" and the movie is based on the short story "memento mon"

The speciality of this film is "reverse screenplay", the sequence of the film is in reverse order.. Initially, the viewers wont understand anything. but as the movie goes, the knots are tied dramatically!

The lead actors Guy pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss have done a excellent job. Especially guy pearce has shown an impeccable acting! ( this guy really rocks! peak!)

The plot is this.. Hero suffers from a medical disorder namely "short-term memory loss" and forgets any new kindaa memory within few minutes... wat all he remembers is this! someone has killed his wife and he is on the verge of revenge! He relates everything he come across using fotos, tatoos and some paper snippets...


Memento, a critically acclaimed movie, a box-office success and has got many awards round the globe. It has got highly-coveted OSCAR for " BEST SCREENPLAY AND EDITING"...It is ranked as the 26th best movie evermade by IMDB.


Everyone loves this movie! neither a pure nor a commercial cinema.. yet, blockbuster perfection! really rocks!


PS: Ghajini, a tamil movie is based on the inspiration of this movie. Except the term "short-term memory loss", this movie is in no way comparable with the original one.. But, ghajini was a desi adaptation and some commercial elements are added to spice up things!
