A few words short

This film is from 2000. If I saw this film at that time, I would not be able to watch it for a few minutes. All I can say is that this film is too powerful, the flashbacks in the color parts, the events and the scenes are shown in flashbacks, the black and white are in order. The audience understands the truth of the matter step by step with the film. The ingenious layout is really amazing. I admire again, no, it is Nolan's talent. The scenes in the flashbacks are gradually completed like fragments of the title memory, forming a puzzle of the whole story.

    IQ has been burned out...After reading the fragments, I can't put it together...

    Narrative methods worth studying. Black and white distinguish the two clues, chronologically arranged memories and fragmented life flashbacks alternate regularly, Sammy's virtual wife has a strong suspense, and at the end, the two clues are stitched together by developing a piece of polaroid paper from black and white to color. The truth then emerges, making people subversively review the logic of the story. Self-deception and forgetting the truth are the rootless state of existence in the current human belief crisis.
