Memento

This Afternoon, thanks to the DMA Media library, I watched the film Memento. This is a film that was written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It is a trip to watch. I recommend it to everyone in this class. 

The whole movie is played out of order the back half of the movie is played backwards in color and the beginning half is played forward in black and white. Since the movie is narrated  by the main character everything that happens is what he thinks happened and it turns out he sways the truth most of the movie. A surprise twist ending!!! leaves you feeling satisfied. 

The creators of this film did a great job filming the beginning so that the audience knows the film has elements of going forward and reverse. The first scene is meticulously designed to let you know the  colored movie is going in reverse. Nolan has engaged me in every movie he has made. Due to the time element the audience is left confused but at the same time perplexed.
