Memento Movie!

I thought that the movie was really good. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. At first I had was not sure about it, I thought it would be just another movie like all movies we watch in many class, boring and a waste of time.
It was different from the story but it helped me to understand the story better. When I read the story I was really confused. I didn't know if the character was writing to himself or if someone else was writing to him? The movie cleared it all up and the story began to make a lot more sense.
I loved how the movie kept going back in the time line and sometimes repeated a little of what had previously happened. It was creative on the directors part and it was interesting the watch. It kept your attention because you were always wondering how everything would tie together.
However, I did not like the ending. Apparently I am a straight forward type of person who is savvy enough to pick up on all of the twist and turns. I though I knew what was going on, Lenard new Teddy was the killer, for the most part, and was working up to killing him by putting together the clues he needed to verify it. In the end it seemed to me that the character was unsure of what he was supposed to be doing. It showed the scene where he was acting as Sammy Jenkis and might have killed his wife, accidentally, due to the insulin injections. I guess in my mind it played out differently and I defiantly was not a fan of that idea. It ruined my idea of the love story and the husband looking for closure and revenge on a man whole ruined his life by taking what he loved most away from him.
