Christopher Nolan On Character & Perceptual Distortion In 'Memento'

This breaks down Christoper Nolan's perspective on the characters and the distortion we view in the film. He starts off expressing that this is not only a story based on a freaky instance, but on a mental state that actual happens to a lot of people. He also touches upon how the actors felt playing the characters they did. He says it couldn't have been told chronologically, it would be a completely different story of a man being abused mentally by the people around him. It was better to deny the audience all of the information in order. By putting it in reverse we make him a hero. I agree with this, we see him trying to take control of his condition  by making ways to remember. Overall, I thought this was an interesting video to why Christopher Nolan did everything the way he did.
