Memento
- Commentary: Under construction.
Roger Ebert, in his review of this film (to which he gave three stars), found himself prodded by two fellow movie lovers to talk about a possible story glitch that, as he put it, is "a hole big enough to drive the entire plot through." A later reviewer on the same site, Omar Moore [take note, while the immediately previous link appears to have been wrapped up, here is one of Omar Moore's latest sites] however, almost 10 years after Ebert noticed this story glitch, rhapsodizes about the same film, not even noticing glitches in the story. It's interesting to view these two separate views of this film.
I should mention, this is a movie I habitually check out of our county library system at least twice a year. Since I finally found a low priced copy of it without many of the special features that are touted in other pressings of it, I decided to purchase it. I like to wrap myself up in it. Don't ask me why. I haven't yet analyzed my reaction to this movie and may never, except to enjoy both the movie and my reaction.
More later likely, of course.
