This was certainly one of the most interesting and definitely unique movies I have ever seen. The director's choice to go backwards was really clever. To not know what happened before as opposed to after was a really new experience.
I feel bad for Lenny, to be stuck in such a state. But I do see that he is the villain here because he purposely set himself up to chase after the wrong guy. Originally, he did have justified intentions though.
I knew there had to be a flaw somehow though. If Lenny got into an accident, got his condition, how would he know he had his condition? He would have to find out later... but then he would forget anyways.
One thing I saw, was when they showed Sammy Jenkis sitting in a wheelchair in the asylum, for a quick moment, it was actually Lenny. I'm not sure what I believe anymore, This films seems to be a big metaphor for "everything is not what it seems" and that we never really know what we see or believe to be true, really is.
I agree with you the film was, if nothing else, unique and different from all the films I have seen before since it is the first to move backwards, and i also found a few contradictions that I couldn't sense of. First was as you said, he should Not know he has such a condition since it happened to him after he got hit, so he shouldn't be able to remember it. Second was he Should have known his wife needed insulin since that was before the incident. I didn't notice that thing at the asylum, but it may just as well have happened lol.
ReplyDeleteso are u saying that lenny could be faking his condition since he's not supposed to remember that he has this condition?
