Remember Sammy Jankis

Leonard always said, "Remember Sammy Jankis" and in turn he needed to for Leonard could not make new memories. Before he was afflicted by this condition he knew a man named Sammy Jankis who was very similar to his current state and through that connection he remembered his condition. Christopher Nolan's arranged the scenes in Momento to follow this condition. Colored scenes went in reverse order, starting at the end, while the black and white scenes went in normal order from near the beginning. The end of the film actually was where these two perspectives merged into one and the whole story was finally unfolded. This line of storytelling intrigues the viewer and makes him wonder, "How did Leonard come into this perdicament" instead of the normal "What happens next." This is a nice change from other movies. If you haven't seen the movie, go watch it because it is very nearly one of a kind.
