Ezen Baklattan Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 On 5/17/2016 at 3:09 PM, The Panda said: Number 75 Memento (2000) 32 Points (15 Votes, Avg Score 45.2) "We all lie to ourselves to be happy." Top 10 Placements: 1 Placement Changes in Rankings Over Time: 2014 (32, -43), 2013 (51, -24), 2012 (25, -50) Tomatometer: 92% Box Office: 25.54m (38.72m Adjusted) Most Notable Award Recognition: Nominated 2 Oscars IMDb Synopsis: Memento chronicles two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time. Critic Opinion: "But the real brilliance of "Memento" is the way in which Nolan tells the story. In a word: backward, with events unfolding for the audience in the same way they unfold for Pearce's character. "It's a tricky balance at the beginning, " Nolan says. "You're intriguing the audience and confusing the audience, and, at the same time, just giving them enough time to connect with the material." And connect it does, no matter if you're watching it the first time or the 10th time." - Mike Scott User Opinion: "Arguably the most innovative use of non linear storytelling ever utilized in film. (*SPOILERS*) I loved the part where the drunk was laughing after Leonard drank his beer, which was confusing at first, but then in the next scene (or is it previous?) we see that he spit in it. But it's where we see that Carrie-Anne Moss' character using him the whole time that was the ultimate twist." - Squaremaster Personal Comment: Memento marks the first Nolan film to make the list and it is also one of the biggest drop-offs from the the previous years' lists yet. Often revered as one of Nolan's best, Memento is the 4th film from the 2000s decade to be featured and is also another inclusion of a more indie level production. The film is often viewed as mind bending of a sorts and because of this often warrants many repeat viewings (which may explain how it manages to make its mark on the list of many fans). FUCK. I TOTALLY FORGOT THIS ONE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
