Okay, excuse my n00biness as I say that I just finished watching Memento last night, and then again right afterwards. I love the idea of the film and I'll probably be watching it again tonight with my boyfriend.
So, my questions (OF COURSE, I'M A NOOB )
So, lets just go by the story of that Lenny was Sammy, and doesn't remember killing his wife.
1) How does he remember the whole Sammy story, despite the tattoo (killing his wife, the insulin, blah blah blah) if it was actually him? I've researched a lot and apologies if I don't word this right but -- He has short term memory loss, he doesn't remember anything after the blow to his head. Although he thinks Sammy is prior to the incident, THAT Sammy didn't OD his wife on insulin, etc, etc. How does Lenny remember what happened to HIS OWN WIFE, in the body of Sammy and his wife? AGAIN SORRY!
2) So, Teddy claims that Lenny killed "the real John G" 1 year prior to their conversation after killing Jimmy Gantz (sp?) And Teddy took that bloody polaroid of Lenny pointing to the missing tattoo on his chest after he killed the first "real John G". My question is, who is "the real John G" if no one murdered his wife? Teddy had Lenny kill Jimmy (omg, so many abbreviated names!) for two reasons, the drugs, and for Lenny to feel like he finally had revenge on his wife's killer. Did Teddy set up the first John G like he did Jimmy? Was he just another guy for Lenny to get his jollies from that he killed the murderer of his wife? Teddy says that he was an officer on the case and he believed Lenny's story that there was a second guy that got away, so they looked for him together; was there really two people inside the bathroom during the rape scene or was that yet another memory malfuntion?
Again, so sorry for my wording, but I'm kind of just spitting out the questions, and I can't find the right way to word them. Any help is appreciated guys!
