F...Quite possibly the best film I have ever seen. <br /><br />Following was very good but the story was a bit of a jumble - you could see the ideas were there but not the complete execution.Steven Shttp://filmscope.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-17480506081270286392008-07-07T21:03:00.000+05:302008-07-07T21:03:00.000+05:30@1Minute - i'm surprised you don't consider you do...@1Minute - i'm surprised you don't consider you don't consider Memento as Nolan's best work. However, some difference of opinion is good for discussion. <BR/><BR/>@Ed - i agree with you on that. Nolan is definitely in an experimental stage - laying his hands upon everything that he possibly can, increasing his oeuvre in the process. Memento, itself, is a damn audacious effort that even a Tarantino or Park Chan-Wook might have shied away from. i feel when someone manages to make something as brilliant as Memento, has got to be an exceptional talent. But then, even a Scorsese couldn't make another movie like Taxi Driver.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-92018975837854896722008-07-07T18:29:00.000+05:302008-07-07T18:29:00.000+05:30Yeah, Nolan has definitely not topped Memento as o...Yeah, Nolan has definitely not topped <I>Memento</I> as of yet. I've liked some of his later films, and <I>Batman Begins</I> especially is lots of fun, but he has yet to return to the formal ingenuity of this film. It's a perfect melding of form and content. Then again, I think Nolan is still in an experimenting/developing phase. He's trying a lot of different things, alternating his commercial Batman pictures with more idiosyncratic smaller works like <I>The Prestige</I> or his attempt at remaking <I>Insomnia</I>. Both of those films are ultimately well-meaning failures, to me, but he's still an interesting filmmaker who I think will someday blossom into one of the greats.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-39710566439866067562008-07-07T14:53:00.000+05:302008-07-07T14:53:00.000+05:30Shawn - 'Batman Begins'??!

Memento is one of those movies that even a good filmmaker like Nolan will find extremely difficult to better.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-87894869565038130232008-07-05T21:36:00.000+05:302008-07-05T21:36:00.000+05:30Yeah, the Following is really good.
