Memento

I found Momento to be an excelent film. I thought the way it was pieced together was brilliant. I really liked this aspect because we kind of think how he thinks. He lives in the now and leaves clues for the past. everytime he finds one of his clues we learn more into the past. Had the movie ended with Teddy getting shot it would've been a terrible movie. If that were to happen we would know he killed the wrong guy and it would frustrate me. I think Teddy was suprisingly the good guy in this movie. Although he is a drug dealer and a crooked cop, he truely is doing this whole thing for Lenny and not himself. Teddy just wants to see Lenny happy, so he conceals the truth from him until the end. I was shocked when I found out Teddy did nothing wrong. The entire movie I just waited until we found him out. I think this gives the movie a lot less closure, but an opening for a sequel. 7 years later might be a little late for Momentwo, but I'd be down for seeing it.
