This post is a little late and most of the class has already covered what Momento meant to our class and how it emphasized what we had talked about all semester. I think it was pretty easy to see that this movie emphasized that fact that reality can be fictional and memories are no where close to accurate. To me the relationships between the characters and the audience were the most interesting aspects. Not only does this movie prove that reality is questionable it also shows that relationships and perceptions can be as well. Until the last 10 minutes of the movie we all sympathized and believed Leonard. It's interesting we felt this way even though we knew Leonard really never knew anything that was going on in his life. We, the audience, chose to put all our faith in his version of the story even though we knew he had no memory. Not only that, Leonard put all of his faith in little scribbles on paper and tattoos, even though he knew that in moments of strong emotions he could write something rash he would later regret. Overall, we're all trusting completely ridiculous sources. What we didn't mention in class but that I can't help thinking about is that this movie also emphasizes weeding out the "bullshit", not being manipulated. We may have touched on this for a second but I think it's one of the most important parts of the movie. Everyone, including the audience, allows themselves to be manipulated. I'm not sure if everyone is lying to themselves or simply just too trusting of the information given to them.
