Memento
《記憶的碎片》（2000）

Before Christopher Nolan's Inception, there was Memento, a great big puzzle of a movie whose protagonist suffers from short-term-memory loss. With the help of Polaroids, notes and tattoos (give him credit, the man is dedicated), Leonard Shelby tries to track down his wife's murderer, known only as "John G." As he tries to piece everything together, so does the audience, which sees much of the action as fragments shown in reverse chronological order. We alternate between black-and-white and color, forward movement and back, truth and lies. Leonard doesn't know whom to trust ... and neither do we.

除了今年的《盜夢空間》，克里斯托弗·諾蘭指導的影片《記憶的碎片》同樣考驗觀眾的智商。這部影片中，主角萊昂納多·謝爾比患上了“短期記憶喪失癥”，他們只能通過寶麗來快照、筆記和紋身來回憶起以前的事情，并由此尋找殺死他老婆的兇手“約翰·G”。當萊昂納多試圖將許多記憶的碎片拼接在一起時，銀幕前的觀眾也正將電影中倒敘呈現的種種場景合成一個完整的故事。電影在黑白畫面、現實和回憶，以及真實和謊言見不斷閃回，主角萊昂納多不知該信任誰……，當然觀眾也云來霧去。
