Memento is not a movie its a work of art. The intensity of monlogues is so huge that it cant be fitted in words one has to feel it to believe it. Here's one of the scene which connects me with the role of Guy Pearce like he's me and is speaking my mind.
"I don't even know how long she's been gone. It's like I've woken up in bed and she's not here... because she's gone to the bathroom or something. But somehow, I know she's never gonna come back to bed. If I could just... reach over and touch... her side of the bed, I would know that it was cold, but I can't. I know I can't have her back... but I don't want to wake up in the morning, thinking she's still here. I lie here not knowing... how long I've been alone. So how... how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can't... feel time?"
"I'm not a killer. I'm just someone who wanted to make things right. Can't I just let myself forget what you've told me? Can't I just let myself forget what you've made me do. You think I just want another puzzle to solve? Another John G. to look for? You're John G. So you can be my John G... Will I lie to myself to be happy? In your case Teddy... yes I will."
"You can just feel the details. The bits and pieces you never bothered to put into words. And you can feel these extreme moments... even if you don't want to. You put these together, and you get the feel of a person. Enough to know how much you miss them... and how much you hate the person who took them away."
if i cant sense time then how would i know that i am getting over with what is lost.
ReplyDeleteBut do i want only a puzzle to solve?
Why cant i let go and do something else. Why it is so ruthless to fickle every second.
memento is one of the best things ever happend to cinema and thats why it is still a puzzle for many including me. The good thing is that everytime you try to find an answer you find something new which may or may not be the answer but sure it tickles.
