Nolan Fans

Other events that were announced as part of the Tribeca Film Festival’s Tribeca Talks lineup include a screening of “The Lottery,” Madeleine Sackler’s documentary about the efforts of four families to get their children into a New York charter school, and a 10th anniversary showing of “Memento,” the Christopher Nolan thriller, with a panel discussion featuring the actors Guy Pearce and Joe Pantoliano and the screenwriter Jonathan Nolan.

However, Pearce felt Pantoliano’s character Teddy “did deserve to be shot.” He also had the strong belief that “Everything Teddy (Pantoliano) says in the final speech is the absolute truth.” Nolan shot this down with an undeniable headshake. Later, Nolan admitted, “I think the ambiguity is built into the film. There is (Teddy’s) speech at the end of the film, but Chris’s rule was to make it as bullet-proof as possible.”
