The first time I watched it in February 2008, I was shocked by Nolan's level. I watched it again in September 2014, sorted out a few points I thought, and recorded it for the record.
1. Lenny's wife did die of Lenny's overdose of insulin, because Lenny had no short-term memory, he hated his fault, but couldn't face it, so he tattooed "Remember Sammy" on his wrist and thought it was his fault The behavior was passed on to Sammy so he could release his guilt, when in fact Sammy was pretending, but Lenny was the real amnesiac.
2. Teddy is a drug-trafficking policeman who worked with Jimmy in drug-trafficking. He once helped Lenny find John.G ​​who raped her wife at the time, and let Lenny kill him, but in order to take advantage of Lenny's lack of short-term memory, he took advantage of Lenny's lack of short-term memory. The records were torn, while the post-mortem photos of Lenny were kept.
After killing Jimmy, Lenny found out that he was caught in Teddy's trap. He didn't want to face the facts that Teddy said, so he designed a game for himself, so that he could finally follow his own ideas and follow, and kill Teddy unconsciously. That is, killing Teddy is his ultimate goal. He doesn't want to face reality and see Teddy as the ultimate John.G. The photo he was holding at the beginning, after the development, I believe he would have written "I have done it"
3. When Jimmy's girlfriend Natalie found Lenny wearing Jimmy's clothes, she knew that Jimmy was probably Killed, she happened to be hunted down by Dodd for $200,000, so she borrowed Lenny's memory loss and asked him to deal with Dodd for his own safety.

A very good movie, although it takes a lot of concentration to watch it in reverse order, but there is no lack of it is a good movie.

    If it is anterograde amnesia, then the things that the hero can recall can only happen before the encephalopathy. Since the director also hinted that the male protagonist projected his past experience on San Mi, it means that the encephalopathy occurred after his wife died of insulin overdose, and the rest of the story is that he has to keep killing people for the rest of his life. The above inferences do not hold unless patients with anterograde amnesia can construct memories through implicit memory.

    To put it bluntly, Nolan here and Nolan in Inception have lost countless blocks of plot control.

Memento quotes

  • Sammy Jankis: [after being shocked] What the fuck?

    Doctor: It's a test, Sammy.

    Sammy Jankis: [flipping him the bird] Test this, you fucking quack!

  • Leonard Shelby: It's just an anonymous room. There's nothing in the drawers. But you look anyway. Nothing except the Gideon bible, which I, of course, read religiously.
