Nolan is one of the very few i still trust to be capable. Thanks Mary.

Wow was great to be reminded again how great this movie is and how great Nolan is! Watched this after such a long time, alongside you. Great reaction as always Mary. About the Sammy/wife situation, Teddy reminds him that his wife actually survived the assault. So post assault Leonard lost his short term memory but his wife didn't 'believe' him. So she made him give her insulin. And what he does now(lying to himself and making up this Sammy thing) is to get rid of the immense guilt he felt for killing his wife. When Teddy reminds him, Leonard actually gets a flashback of giving his wife the insulin injections. But in an effort to keep lying to himself he immediately makes a false memory of him pinching her while saying "my wife didn't have diabetes". Seems like any mention of his wife/things related to her gives him some flashback memories which are too painful for him to remember. So he does everything to forget those(eg. making a elaborate plan to burn her things by purposefully hiring an escort and making her remind him of his wife by slamming bathroom door/have wife's things laying around and thus motivating him to burn her things).

A couple of little details: When Leonard is telling the final parts of the Sammy story, and they show Sammy in an institution after the death of his wife, right at the end of the final shot of Sammy, someone walks past the camera, obscuring Sammy. When that person passes, we see Leonard sitting there instead of Sammy, a hint that the story is really about Leonard. Throughout the movie, because Teddy set up the fake deal with Jimmy to get the $200,000, Teddy is always trying to get Leonard to give him the keys to the Jaguar, because he knows it's still in the trunk. Teddy is played by Joe Pantoliano, who played the gangster husband Caesar in Bound. He also played Cypher in The Matrix alongside Carrie-Anne Moss, who played Trinity there and Natalie here. Looking forward to Tenet. If you thought this Nolan was a brain-twister, wait until you see that one.

I've seen this movie many times and one thing that escaped my first viewings was how great the soundtrack was. It's incredible. It reminds me so much of Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch. Deep, sad, and epic.

Either the movie is inconsistent or people's interpretation about the movie is. If the head injury caused Leonard to have permanent short-term memory loss and the last memory he processed, before he blacked out and the brain damage set in, was his wife dying on the bathroom floor (or what Leonard mistakenly perceived was his wife dying when she was actually just unconscious and later survived the assault), then he wouldn't be able to remember that his wife survived the attack afterwards even if they lived together for years after the incident. His last memory before the brain damage was him mistaking his wife to be dead, so he wouldn't be able to make the new memory of killing her with the insulin injections and thus how can Leonard then feel super guilty about it if his brain can't hold that memory? How can Leonard transplant his own story onto Sammy to cope with the guilt, if Leonard wouldn't be able to remember doing it in the first place? But perhaps, forcing the movie to make sense 100% of the time is missing the point. Nolan was just making a statement about human nature in how we lie to ourselves and alter our own memories to be happy, to give our lives more purpose and drive, to alleviate our guilt about terrible things we did in the past etc. Leonard's short term memory loss was just a vehicle to explore these concepts.

Great reaction! The thing that still is confusing is at the end they show his wife touching his tattoo that says "I did it." So, if he got the tattoo after killing JG how was she alive to see it?

The beginning of Christopher Nolen weird confusing hard to figure out plot philosophy within a philosophy mushroom dipped in acid trip lmao

I think there is an answer to this. For one, Leonard suspects that "Sammy" is physically capable of new memories. If Leonard is inserting himself over Sammy, then we can extrapolate that to him. Leonard also talks about conditioning, and Teddy points out that Leonard has carefully redacted his police file to make a mystery that can be filled in with multiple answers. So -- and this is of course just a theory -- perhaps it's more like Leonard cannot hold onto memories more than making them. He has been told about his wife surviving and then killing her, and it's in there somewhere, but he is burying it through conditioning, using the Sammy Jankis tattoo and the constant retelling of the story to bury something that he does know, on some level.

Because his long-term memory isn’t reliable either. That’s part of the reveal happening as we go back in time chronologically.

This is a movie you have to watch twice and I only saw this movie once back in the 2000s before Batman Begins lol. I remember parts here and there like Natalie going out to the car waiting and then coming back in to say Dodd hit her. Also Leonard running and having no idea why. Mary doesn't seem to remember the actress playing Natalie from The Matrix as Trinity. Also there is a part I think Mary missed where "Sammy" is sitting in a "Home" is watching everyone walking past him and when the doctor walks pass Sammy, for that split second, Leonard is sitting where Sammy was sitting and cuts to the next scene. Somewhere out there, there is a version of this movie where you can watch it forward. Probably on the DVD/Blu Ray. Mark Boone Junior is great as always. Before Sons of Anarchy and before Batman Begins. All the actors did great in this movie.
