Post Class 2/28

During class this week we talked about the fantasies of Disney world and such amusement destinations. I have actually never been to Disney or Vegas so I do not fully understand what it is. In the absence of this experience I can only imagine what it is like at these resorts.

The movie 'Memento' was quite a mind trip. It is a nonlinear narrative and was one of the first of its kind. It narrates everything backwards in clips. This, for me, made it very confusing on the first watch. The whole movie makes the viewer question what is real and truthful. Leonard has to trust all the notes he writes to himself and all of the tattoos. The phone also comes into question because he never knows who he is talking to because he can't remember. The whole story focuses on who you can trust and who you cannot trust. It also looks at what is real and what is not.
