I accidentally stumbled acrosss the movie "Memento" last
night. I had never seen it and never been able to find it at
local video stores.
It's an interesting presentation with an inside out plot that
has to be deciphered by the viewer but will never be
deciphered by the lead who has an extreme case of short-term
memory loss. If you put it together chronologically (as well
as you could) it would be a kind of sad-sack noir.
Some of it doesn't hang together, but so what. Still
interesting. The beginning of the movie is the end of the
story, the end of the movie is the beginning of the story,
and in context Carrie-Anne Moss (of the Matrix Trilogy) is as
bitch of a femme fatale as their ever was.
The lead, Guy Pierce, was one of the detectives in the movie
"L.A. Confidential" and I understand he will be playing the
lead in the movie of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." (I looked
it up.)
For those who recommended it, thanks.
A nice pic for a Rare Bird to stumble over when he's spinning
the dial. I have no idea what network it was on.
