Memento

"Memento" is a film directed by Christopher Nolan that explores the experience of memory loss and how it affects identity and perception. The story follows Leonard, a man with short-term memory damage, who uses notes, tattoos, and photographs to hunt for his wife's killer. The film's narrative is presented in a non-linear order, reflecting Leonard’s disoriented state, making viewers piece together the story much like he does. Ultimately, "Memento" examines themes of truth, trust, and the subjective nature of memory, illustrating how our perception of reality can be shaped — or distorted — by what we choose to remember or forget.
