Re: Easily, my favourite film of all time

The word "confusing" gets used on thsi forum quite a bit to discuss Memento , but I really don't think it's an accurate word. What's happening and the order in which things are laid out is very clear, it's just that each subsequent sequence is so revelatory that it's a little head-spinning, because ...

Re: Plot-hole or Misunderstanding?
