	I just saw this movie for the first time today and thought it was amazing. Has anyone else seen it, and if so what are your thoughts on it?

	Good movie. I loved the way it went in reverse, but it did get on my nerves after hearing the guy explain his condition for the 50th time. -----signature----- What we do in life echos in eternity

	I thought the reverse thing was just a little confusing myself, but the ending was the best part to me. On the other hand, hearing the name 'Sammy Jankis' over and over can get aggaravating. It's about a man who witnessed his wife's rape and murder. After being injured during that incident, he loses his short term memory. The movie moves backwards as we find out more and more about what happened the night that the main character loses his memory. -----signature----- "It's not my fault!" - Han Solo Many who live deserve death.

	here is a reference if needed. Yeah, the movie is pretty good, the style it goes back is cool; I wish they do more of this style in the future.

	Oooh! I just read online that in the UK version of the DVD, there is an easter egg that allows you to watch the movie in chronological order! -----signature----- "It's not my fault!" - Han Solo Many who live deserve death.

	Actually I heard that there is a Canadian version which also has this Easter Egg, but it only allows you to play about 5 chapters in the "correct" order. -----signature----- Proud Father of My Precious Little Girl Eliza Joy Born 11:50 PM 3/8/08 6 pounds 12 ounces 18 inches of Love

	It wouldn't be the same movie in chronological order. But I must agree, it is the best film of 2001. -----signature----- Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous liberal press which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

	It makes you think about a lot of things, especially our memory. This guy can't remember anything after it happened 15 mins. But what about the rest of us? Can we REALLY remember what happened ten years ago? without any record? I mean remember correctly. Once I went through my old dairy and I was surprised how much I forgot. I can hardly remember details without the dairy. So in some point of view Memento is the story of our memory, the history, the meanless life. There is no different between Guy Pearce's tatoo and my old dairy. What do you think of human being's civilisaion? It is mean to remember things that happened and pass the memory on. Though the memory was twisted from the begining. -----signature----- Impressive, Most Impressive!

	Great movie, eventhough I believe they have borrowed the idea from pulp fiction, I think the theme, and the way it is set up is way better. -----signature----- How terrible is wisdom when it brings not profit to the wise

	"Oooh! I just read online that in the UK version of the DVD, there is an easter egg that allows you to watch the movie in chronological order!" The first thing I thought after seeing it, was what it would be like chronologically. My friends and I discussed and decided it would be awful. Because it is an awful movie, essentially, but backwards it's suspenseful. But I don't think it was the best movie of th year. The Royal Tenenbaums and LotR were better. Amazing. -----signature----- Green Apples~! November is AmazingB Awareness Month. Who here likes a good story about a bridge?
