Just saw Memento...

[brxndxn]

His wife killed herself by using him.
Teddy used him to do his dirty work.
Natalie used him.
The hotel manager used him.

I feel bad for him. If I were him, I would kill myself. I couldn't possibly think of a worse handicap - maybe being blind AND deaf would be worse.

I basically thought it was a neat idea for a movie - but it could have been much better if it somehow showed him actually getting the right guy. Also, it makes no sense that he wouldn't keep a journal with specific dates and times.

The movie's logic doesn't quite work well - or at least it doesn't make a reason for things that need specific reasons to happen.

If Lenny was in fact Sammy Jenkins, then how does the fact that 'Sammy's' wife went to see Lenny to ask him his opinion about correlate with the story?

The movie could have been much better. I think it ending with him killing himself would have been the best.

Teddy the cop used him to do dirty work, so to speak.

Whenever there was a John G. that the cop felt needed to be eliminated (be it a drug dealer or whatever), he would send lenny after him. The cop was totally protected this way from being traced, and also was out of harms way.

just saw it today and after reading this more questions seem to be popping up.

I think that Lenny killed his wife.

I also think that he killed his wife to collect the insurance money.

Lenny gave some story to the cops about the 'incident' and how they found only one weapon, which was his...blah blah blah.


edit There is no right guy. ?
