Memento
《记忆的碎片》（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《盗梦空间》，克里斯托弗·诺兰指导的影片《记忆的碎片》同样考验观众的智商。这部影片中，主角莱昂纳多·谢尔比患上了“短期记忆丧失症”，他们只能通过宝丽来快照、笔记和纹身来回忆起以前的事情，并由此寻找杀死他老婆的凶手“约翰·G”。当莱昂纳多试图将许多记忆的碎片拼接在一起时，银幕前的观众也正将电影中倒叙呈现的种种场景合成一个完整的故事。电影在黑白画面、现实和回忆，以及真实和谎言见不断闪回，主角莱昂纳多不知该信任谁……，当然观众也云来雾去。
