Memento is one of my favourite movies of all time, and I was trying to unsolve it COMPLETELY in the last few years, because after all, Nolan himself said there is an final answer to everything in the movie. So I think I finally got it, and want to explain it to you, but excuse my bad english, I am no born english speaker
The big key scene in the movie is Teddy aka John Gammel, who everybody talks about. Is he a cop, is he a drug dealer, is he lying at the ending, or is he not-I think I finally got it. Please read through the whole text before you start laughing, but he is the Owner of the Discount Inn! But of course, he also deals with drugs, and one of the big deals is with Jimmy and Natalie, and when Jimmy gets killed, Natalie wants to get revenge and fakes the ID of John Gammel, to make him look like the one Lenny has been searching for, even when he isn't. But he is an *sshole, because he is the "cop" calling Lenny every few minutes, because he wants to use him for his pleasure. And so HE is the guy who gives him two rooms, because he sends him to the Discount Inn a second time. And remember the scene where Lenny takes a picture of him? He takes a few steps to the right, that lenny doesn't see the Discount Inn on the picture, under the cover that "there is a bad lightning". But he is not the rapist, but didn't helped Lenny kill the rapist either, he is just a lier trying to get money, and gets shot at the end.
So this is my theory on Memento, which I have been working on for a while now, and it is the first theory I see on the net that has the idea of Teddy being the Owner of the Discount Inn. I am happy to give this to you Nolan Fans out there, and give this free to debate.
