No, he means that if you place all the scenes in the right place, Following still is a good movie, but it'll spoil Memento.#1fan wrote:following wasn't linear?Smile wrote:The linear timeline maybe works for Following, but not for Memento.

Exactly. I remember where Leonard is trying to explain what it feels like to someone who doesn't experience/understand it: "It's like you just woke up. I mean, it's backwards. Like, maybe you get an idea about what you want to do but you don't remember what you just did. I'm sure the backwards theme is laced throughout the whole film, e.g. the backwards tattoo. I'm sure this has been explained all over, but I think the purpose of doing this film backwards is to put the audience in his shoes. You feel like you have short term memory loss when you are watching. It's one of the most remarkable experiences. Best film ever.Smile wrote:The linear timeline maybe works for Following, but not for Memento.

Exactly. Even if someone remakes film (God forbid) it will never be compared to Nolan's story. Which is why Memento is unique and is and will always be famousOVERMAN wrote:yea and this feature makes it special.
Memento is like no other movie, is unique
think about it, is not like any other movie done before it and the only way to do a movie like it is to copy the story.
