Memento is a psychological thriller, written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man with anterograde amnesia, which impairs his ability to store new explicit memories. During the opening credits, which portray the end of the story, it is shown that Leonard kills Teddy who is played by Joe Pantoliano. The film suggests that this killing is vengeance for the rape and murder of his wife based on information provided by Natalie who is played by Carrie-Anne Moss.
Inspiration
The Non-linear sequence will be extremely hard to copy and we have no intention to even attempt to create such a complicated narrative. What i did enjoy and what we are trying to use as inspiration is the fact that the films starts at the end and the subsequent scenes go some way to piecing the jigsaw together. Our film will also posses a fragmented structure in order to create mystery with the audience but if done well looks quite sophisticated and shows off our qualities in terms of editing. Leonard is man trapped in the journey to avenge his wife's death and this makes for a gripping story line.
