Totally and Completely Confused.

I think that I would have enjoyed Memento if it would have been a little bit more clear and easy to understand. I was so confused the entire time and it really bothered me because phsychological movies are my favorite genre ever. I love trying to figure out why things happen but in this movie I couldn't keep up with what was happening and I couldn't help but give up on it. This movie reminded me alot of the movie The Number 23 because they are both about a story where the main character commits a crime but has no recollection of doing so. In The Number 23, the main character comes across a book that tells a life story of one no different than his own. He begins to recall certain memories and is convinced that after a murder had occured the man who wrote this is still out there and responsible. This story is a lot like Memento in way that the character is so convinced they have done nothing to a point where they believe they have done nothing. It is emphasized more strongly that the main character in The Number 23 discovers that he is indeed responsible for everything that has happened, and all though it is less ovbious in Memento, we can assume that Leonard is also responsible for the death of his wife.
