Memento
Memento is a dodgy movie, and sort of messes with your mind. So the question is, in a film this bold, should small lapses be excused because the whole things is almost like one continuous "lapse"?What I'm referring to is the main character's ability to remember that he can't remember things. If his memory stopped being reliable when he first got his condition, how can he remember that he got it?
How come he remembers to take polaroids and notes, and to make tattoos? How come he remembers that he's on a mission to avenge his wife? The movie occasionally implies that he has to re-discover these things after every new memory lapse, but often he somehow "remembers" that he's got a polaroid camera and that he needs to make use of it, that he has notes to himself and needs to get those tattooed, and that he can't remember anything since shortly after his wife's death.
I guess it wouldn't be much of a movie if he couldn't remember these things at least.
