Help! Memento (the movie) question!
Okay, I need your help....can someone tell me what happened at the end of Memento? Okay, so technically it's the beginning, but whatever...
I vaguely remember something about his (Leonard) wife being in a shower curtain on the floor, then something about her not being dead the whole time...?? Did she leave him, and in the end did he kill himself? Any help would be greatly appreciated. There are too many websites to go through online to find out and for some reason I can't open the main site. And yes, I am too lazy to go rent it. Thanks guys! *Jen*

If I remember correctly he finds out the cop that was trying to help him actually killed his wife and Leonard then he kills him and moves on.
Pretty trippy movie.

Well that is what happened.
How it gets explained via the movie was the wacky part.

that broad from the matrix...i forget her name...she's an evil WHORE and she fucks around with the guy and provides him with crazy evidence showing that the cop actually killed his wife but then if i remember correctly, didn't his own wife fuck around withhim too?? -s.

no. you're all wrong.
ok. the cop was in on getting more money...but he didn't kill his [loenard's] wife, that was the girl's doing that made him think that the cop did... [i forget her name, but his "friend" that "helps" him throughout the movie]...the cop does not kill leonard's wife... do you remember him always talking about sam? and sam's story? and how he had the same condition as him...short term memory loss...well that's actually a depiction of what him and his wife were...and his wife died [i think it's the exact same scenerio as sam and his wife...how she had diabetes and then she had him kill her because she couldn't deal with it anymore...] but he just created a story out of it for some perpetual direction, convincing himself that he didn't do anything [and really not remembering that he did] and just fabricating a story that someone raped and killed her...and then trying to find the killer [which is the story in reverse]...it's a play on memory and how you distort what happened and what you want to remember.... that's what i remember...but i could also be just remembering what i want to from that movie....hmmmm....

yeah i remember that sammy jenkins had the same short term memory thing as leonard and that sammy jenkin's wife would always be like "it's time for my shot!" every 10 minutes and then sammy jenkins would give her the shot and she died
i'd have to watch it again i think to FULLY understand what the hell was going on. -s.

for sure! well minus the mushrooms for me... :]
i'm so down. that movie was well done. well the concept was anyways... the middle story [about the chick from the matrix and the cop and the chicks bf] were just thrown in there to throw you off...which it does...but kind of distracts from the meaning behind the movie...imho but good nonetheless.

ya.. he explains it. Its trippy but he injects too many shots at his wife... not on purpose (obviously), cuz of his condition n all and the wife could not take it anymore.
The cop (tod?) was in it for the cash that was in the car. He was not a bad person and didn't deserve to die. The person who raped his wife was the johnny G that he killed in the ghetto place where he changed into his clothes (Natalies bf)... and shit was just twisted. i had to write a paper for my TOK (theory of Knowledge) too. gl.

it would suck...but you wouldn't really know...
well in a way you would, but like leonard did, you just kind of deal with it...and make up your own story as you go... i don't know...it kind of reminds me of alzheimers...or something like that...and honestly, when i'm super old, i hope i'm eccentric and crazy, i won't know...and i'll be at least some what happy... sucks for everyone else though... ^sorry, got a little off topic there.
