A horrific as Leonard's situation is, if you want to experience even deeper existential horror, look into the case of Clive Wearing. Mr. Wearing developed encephalitis in 1985, and it destroyed not only his ability to make new memories, but it also erased most of his existing memories. He knows who his wife is, but doesn't remember their wedding day. He recognizes his children, but doesn't remember their births. He can play the piano beautifully, but insists he's never heard a note before. He's utterly alone, his whole consciousness consisting of the last thirty seconds at most. He doesn't know where he is, why he's there, or anything that's ever happened to him. It's the profoundest kind of loneliness I know of. He doesn't even trust his own handwriting.

Excellent breakdown of the movie! The first time I watched Memento I enjoyed it a lot but the way you broke down the smaller details really brought the movie to life for me. I especialy appreciated the part where you referenced part of the short story saying, "For a few minutes everyday, a man becomes a genius filled with clarity and insight but eventually you have to hand down the controls to the other parts of you." We all have different versions of ourselves with different goals, purposes, and lifestyles depending on the circumstances we are going through. Like you mentioned at the end, we feel as though our different subjective perspectives on life are what we should find our purpose but in reality our perspective along with everyone around us is everchanging making it unreliable. That is why it is essential for us to seek objectivity in our lives so that we may be fully satisfied by a purpose that isnt simply a portrayal of our own selfish desires.

I’ve been on a binge read and listening about Narcissism, one of the aspects mentioned is the person has difficulty in empathizing with their past self. The memory is there, but the shame and consequence is evaded. Their slate is cleaned over and over again, altering their perception of reality to flee the pain of what they’ve done. They manipulate their own reality and this made me think of that.

I see the fear of never feeling... extraordinary enough to be noticed, to be lovable, to belong, or to cultivate a sense of purpose."

Except that Teddy was feeding Leonard's self-destruction from day one. As the only one who really understood him, Teddy could have helped Leonard let go. But he wanted someone he could manipulate. Teddy is Iago to Leonard's Othello, sabotaging him. Without Teddy stringing him along with new evidence, new targets, new manipulations, Leonard may finally be able to construct a half-truth that allows him to let go.

Unfortunately, Shutter Island can actually be viewed from Teddy's perspective as well. There are many clues that point to him being manipulated into thinking he is Andrew. In fact, there are reasons to believe he has been drugged since the beginning on the ship. The brilliance of the story is: starting out with a Marshall, convincing him and the audience that he's crazy, and still providing enough clues that he's not.

Lenny learned to trust his handwriting. he writes everything in capital letters. he wrote "do not trust her" in cursive.. because it was not true. "Remember Sammy Jenkis" is also written in cursive

I initially found Leonard Shelby to be sympathetic when viewing Memento for the first time. In hindsight, after multiple viewings, I have clarity regarding how dark and dangerous his character is. He's an executioner who shows zero signs of slowing down. Note that he executed his wife as well as numerous others both referenced specifically and suggested in the film. Memento is one of the best films I've ever seen and is in the conversation for the best. It's elite.

Teddy was the best character. Its easier and more comfortable to trust anyone else than the one who helps you.

Extraordinary essay and analysis. I am currently working on an essay/retrospective analysis on this film. I was very intrigued by your arguments about Leonard's 'condition,' primarily the main argument regarding his subjectivity versus objectivity. The comparison of Leonard's existence to the center of a clock, as the driver of the hands, around which time passes, is very clever. There is a lot to unpack here. I see Leonard living a fugue-like state where he vacillates between what he knows about himself (pre-incident) and his current reality (being a serial killer) however futile and fragmented an existence it is. Leonard's hell is the people who surround him and keep him going on this perpetual quest to find John G. I agree with your point, though, about Leonard not being able to face himself when confronted with the objective truth about his current life as a killer; subsequently choosing to find another man to hunt and kill. I would only point out that the choice is still influenced by an untrustworthy source in "Teddy." Teddy tells Leonard that all this treacherous game spirals on because Leonard chooses to lie to himself about what he has become. Although it is a plausible assertion, I am skeptical of the source. We are shown repeatedly throughout the story how Teddy is a liar--indeed, that isn't even his real name--and that he has motives of his own. One possible question I ask myself is whether Teddy had prior knowledge of the incident which resulted in Leonard's condition or was involved in some way. Even if that is not the case, once he became assigned to the case, as he states, he chose to use Leonard for nefarious illegal endeavors, such as the killing of the Jimmy for drug money. My point is that not only is Teddy an unreliable character, but worse than Leonard because he can remember the details of what he sets forth Leonard upon.

Wow. This was SO good, especially enjoyed your thoughts at the end. I love it when details are pointed out about my favorite movies that I never thought of even when I've watched the movie multiple times, like with this one. And the clips from the Nolan interview were fascinating, thank you for those. Liked and subbed, looking forward to more of your work.

God I love this movie.

Amazing video! One thing tho, Shudder island came out in 2010 I believe.

It's so cool that the way the story is told leaves me longing for the actual facts, but I'll never get them, because Leonard never does. It's not about facts, it's about his and our interpretation of subjective truth. Did Lenny kill before Jimmy? Was Sammy married? Did Lenny kill his wife? Was Teddy a cop? Did he give Lenny a police report and did Lenny censor it? or did Teddy give him a fake to manipulate him? Why was Lenny smiling in that picture? Was the second picture he burned the smiling one? Maybe on a rewatch I might answer one or two of those questions, but the rest, all I'm left with is the subjective. Amazing movie And amazing analysis, definitely the most informative I've seen.

You may want to watch shutter island again because, in that movie he was an actual officer and they were trying to drive him crazy. But they couldn't get the crazy to stick and if you pay attention at the end of the movie you hear the other guy say it didn't work. (The one who he met coming over) His statement about rather being considered dying. A good man VS a murderer mean that he know who he is. He know he's a good man and he would rather die that way. It was a set up from the moment they met to get in his head.

Awesome movie, although the first time I watched it randomly on TV, I had a high fever which just ads to the confusion of the whole movie. In Hindsight, it probably add to the mood, like dimming the lights when watching a horror movie :D

Short term memory loss prevents forming new memories, it (weirdly enough) does not prevent forming new instincts or habits. After his injury he probably had the same conversation with his wife anout his condition severak times a day, and each time immediately thought about Sammy Jenkins. Eventually he mixes up the stories in the second nature part of his brain, which does still work.

I disagree with your conclusion on Shutter Island; I think the movie is about the fact that they ARE preforming experiments on the island, and they've brainwashed the detective into BELIEVING he is a murderer, with the cigarettes. The storm plays a key role in noticing that fact!!

Bro… I was going through some bs one time and I was emotionally vulnerable to the max, and some woman came up to me and started manipulating me when I was down. I needed a friend and she wanted something else from me, and I knew it. But I needed a friend and the fantasy she provided me was so peaceful that I convinced myself that she really was my friend, and wasn’t just trying to manipulate me into getting something out of me. We were the best of “friends” for almost 2 years before we both kinda drifted away from each other slowly. I think we both knew what was going on the whole time but neither of us wanted to open up that can of worms. It is true, sometimes you will legit convince yourself that the delusion is reality, just so you can survive. It takes a particularly brutal and “in-your-face” style of callout from someone else who notices it in order to break free from it. Reality is often really brutal.

It's human nature. He used what he had as a tool to get what he wanted.

I gotta watch the behind the scenes on shutter island everyone has a different experience for that movie I took it as a man who was and is a detective who’s wife was murdered and he was struggling with the lose because she also took his child, however long later he was investigating the disappearance of a women who had been framed with the same story who he was basically emotionally connected to through experience and he met her in the cave while he was also being “turned crazy” just like the framed women who was once a nurse there by substances and psychology tricks. At the end he was referring to his “partner” that he was a a monster and himself is dying as a good man but I guess that’s the point of the movie is to have several perspectives and sticks with you for years wondering what it’s supposed to mean.

He is from the wrong place according to Teddy as he is supposed to be from Portland MAINE, but the Dr. says he's from Portland OREGON. This is how we know already that something doesn't add up. Why would he be coming from the mainland as well with a real gun if he were a patient there for TWO years. Finally, when meeting with the man he interviewed earlier he tells Teddy to "Let her go" meaning his wife as he was seeing visions of her in the form of hallucinations from the 'psychotropic drugs' they had him on. He could've gotten what he came for and left then and there but he got caught up in the manipulative psychology of avenging his wife. A plan planted there by his 'Partner' and the lead psychologist guy.

Shutter Island was horrible, The whole concept of crashing him into the reality of his wife killing their kids when basically he had no ability to accept that and having him run around with a fake gun that he for some reason never grasp that it was a fake gun.
