Ok i had to watch this movie for my Philosophy class. Were discussing a unit on the World outside of one's self and answering questions like:
I walked away quite stunned. I mean the way the movie plays is unlike any other movie i've seen before. It starts off at the end and plays backwards, but its not you usually story being told from a flashback, the whole movie plays its scenes backward, which is a real trip. A very interesting method of telling a story. So we're in this event not knowing how we got there, and the next scene is the scene to what got us to that event we just saw. The entire movie plays like that except for the Black and White parts.
I'm pretty sure most of you are wondering what the movie is about by now. Its about a Guy who was in an incident that ruined his short term memory. He can't recall what he did 5 mins ago or even the people he spoke to 5 mins before hand. The crazy part is that hes after his wifes killer, so you can imagine how intensive it gets when your after someone and you can barely remember why your after that person or where your at, at that one moment.

What really got me was the scene were the Trinity from the Matrix came in and claimed that guy had beat her up. Yet when we were revealed the scene before that, she came in and had a fight with the main character. She went off calling him a ****** and cursing at him like it was no ones business. Calling his dead wife profanities.
Then he got angry and hit her. Then the most crucial scene of the movie in my opinion happened. She got up and laughed saying in less than 5 mins he would forget this and she would use him to her will. He then began to rush to find a pen and pencil to take down the note that she was crazy. She laughed and left the room, 5 mins later she walks in and hes like what happened, who beat you up? She then claims it was this other guy and she wants the Main character to go beat up this other character.

Anyone else find that scene incredible? The way it played out was insane. Definitely a scene showing off how his method of keeping track of his surroundings was a complete failure.
I truly recommend this movie to anyone that like a action movie with some seriously thinking parts
What is wrong with Lenny's way of getting at truth, his "system"? What makes his investigation pretty questionable?
How about his "condition" ... can you see any way in which his condition is analogous to the "human condition" in general? Is Lenny a lot like us in some ways? How so?
What do you make of how the ending connects with the rest of the film? How does Lenny manipulate himself in the process of his search for "truth"? Is he really after truth?
