Memento

One thing that really confused me was the whole side plot with Sammy Jenkins. I understand that the story that Lenny made up about Sammy is false, but what i don't understand is how he has a memory of him to begin with. Did he just replace himself with Sammy's character? But that would not explain how Sammy's wife came to see him about Sammy's condition. And also, he remembered his wife dying, and yet that was after the accident. He had a flashback of his wife opening his eyes, but how could that be, since that was a memory of after he got hit in the head. I thought there were a bit too many inconsistencies throughout the whole movie even though they were hard to spot, but the movie was overall great. I really enjoyed the originiality of it and how the unique style of the way it was filmed. I think it was perfect for this kind of film because it sort of represented the way Lenny's life worked. Every time his memory reset, he had to start from the beggining and get to where he is now, and that is how the movie was scripted. I also found the way he handled the situation to be very interesting, with how he developed a system in which he would determine what is going on with him when he resets his memory. Another thing i did not understand is how he was aware of his condition, since his memory was reset every time. He technically shouldn't be aware that he lost his memory and he technically shouldn't even remember the system he came up with. Once again, there are many inconsitencies, but if you just ignore these, the movie is a pleasure to watch.
