Great movie

Memento was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I loved the fact that the movie went in reverse mainly. The way that the first scene is presented is one of the best first scenes I've ever seen. The wonder it instills into the viewers from the very beginning is great. It makes you want to know so many things right away, like what happened and why, that it grabs your attention from the beginning. Also the way that the scene is actually in reverse makes you wonder what is going on. The picture going from clear to blank, the picture going back into the camera, the blood running up and the gun jumping into his hand, all make the audience wonder what is going on.
From the first scene on the movie runs backwards in chronological order and from the first scene on your attention is grabbed. The movie is perfect in the order it is in. Keeping it in reverse makes the audience just want to keep watching and find out what is going to happen next. All in all one of the best movies I've seen lately I recommend everyone see it.
