Bethany Moreton: IMG Culture War on Aisle 5? Wal-Mart, Evangelicals, and "Extreme Capitalism"

0 comments By Bethany Moreton

"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Point blank in the head a man shoots another. In flashbacks, each one earlier in time than what we've just seen, the two men's past unfolds. Leonard, as a result of a blow to the head during an assault on his wife, has no short-term memory. He's looking for his wife's killer, compensating for his disability by taking Polaroids, annotating them, and tattooing important facts on his body. We meet the loquacious Teddy and the seductive Natalie (a barmaid who promises to help), and we glimpse Leonard's wife through memories from before the assault. Leonard also talks about Sammy Jankis, a man he knew with a similar condition. Has Leonard found the killer? What's going on?

Christopher Nolan's "Moment" based on his brother Jonathan's short story is a story unlike you will ever have experienced - both in film or book industry. The film follows a unique temporal perspective, one storyline progressing forward in a linear fashion (shown in b/w) while a second one proceeds backwards (shown in color) and both perspectives meet in the middle of the unforgettable story. The story of Leonard (Guy Pearce) is a fictional tale that follows a man's troubles and trials with anterograde amnesia and the heart-breaking journey he must embark to give his life some meaning after he loses all that he values, both physically and emotionally. Nolan's film is a valuable gem of a film as it gives foray into reality of actual life situations, both in normal and amnesiac-afflicted people. Filled with a couple plot twists, excellent screenplay and dialogues, a blend of normal and "amnesiasic" perspectives along with memorable performances, Nolan's Memento is a definite keeper. Rate it 12 out of 10.
