    Natalie knew that Leonard did something to her boyfriend. He showed up to the bar in his suit with his car and the not she wrote to her boyfriend. She made a comment at some point about him having a nice suit if I recall

      100% correct. She deviously aimed Leonard right at who she believed had set up Jimmy to be killed by Leonard, Teddy.

    it seems to me that the Sammy jenkis story has to be pretty much the way Leonard tells it and Teddy is lying when he says Leonard killed his own wife. if leonard's condition works the way we're supposed to understand that it works, Sammy's had to have as well or Leonard couldn't use that memory to repeatedly explain his own condition to himself. he basically has to start every day with this reminder or he's stuck living the confusing moment after his wife's death every morning and he's stuck at square one. he feels guilt about Sammy and that helps him feel righteous about avenging his wife but also reminds him how his strategy with the notes and the camera works. if Sammy was faking his condition, that would be the only way Leonard would remember him and that memory wouldn't lead him to any of the other stuff.

      no… because at the end of the sammy flashbacks… when a nurse walks by sammy.. suddenly for half a second it is leonard in his place at the mental institution so sammy is def leonard

    • @lucasblue20
      @lucasblue20  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It really wouldn't be surprising if Nolan left Guy Pearce in the dark while shooting and gave him clues because, like you said, his performance is so convincing, I love this movie so much as well! I also cannot wait for part 2 haha I'm about halfway done!

      as if him saying part 2 about 4-5 times isn't enough, here we have the typical youtube fanboy asslicker comment, "impatiently waiting for part 2" you talk like it's the sequel to this movie or something. Calm down dumbass, it's just some random youtuber talking about a movie. Did he pay you to post that comment or are you just his 2nd account?

    what i dont understand is… why did teddy aka john g munipulate lenny into killing another JG if they share the same initials? didnt teddy stop and think what if lenny finds out hes also a john g and tries to kill him which he ultimately does? i assume thats why he told him to call him teddy but still

    In life, one of my pet peeves is that some fonts make a #1, a lower case "L" and an upper case "i" all look a straight line. At 8:54, you can see the license plate is clearly SG13 7IU (3rd character is #1 and 6th character is capital "i"). At 9:56, you can see where he writes the 3rd and 6th characters as a straight line. Then, at 9:59, you can see that she tattoos SG13 71U (the 6th character is a #1). I hate this movie because of this oversight (not really, but it bugs me and I do NOT have any OCD/ADD issues).

    DO YOU SURF?
    Very, very Interesting.
    Dahudeeeeee.
    This is a good flick and the only Nolan movie 👁 like.
    I was lahossssst a bit from most of this but your explanation has removed some of the fog.
    So let's review.
    Leonard was knocked the hell out defending his babe from a burgal-rapist.
    His short term memory trauma resulted in him conflating the accidental overdose of the babe with the attack.
    So his life is like Captain Ahab chasing Moby Dick or Sammy G.
    A detective uses him in a side hustle as an assassin ostensibly to aid him in his quest.
    This lucky streak continues until he meets another babe as luck would have it of another one of his victims.
    This femme fatale decides to use him herself to get someone off of her back and avoid heat.
    She promises too to help him in his quest. She gets the license plate number tracked to his handler Teddy yet another "killer" of his wife.
    He finally defeats him and takes proof but this victory is short lived and due to his short term memory the journey must start AGAIN!!!!!!
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
    👁 FEEL LIKE I'M ON KRAZY PILLS!!!!!!!!!!
