Leonard is a researcher who lives with his diabetic wife for insurance claims. He reveals one man who claims to be fraudulent, named Sammy Jankis, to have anti-grade amnesia. Two junkies break into his house one night and rape and assassinate his wife. He kills one of them, but he gets rid of the other one with brain damage.
He is a cop assigned to Leonard’s case, John Gamel, who goes by Teddy while undercover. Teddy does not believe that there was a second junkie while the police don’t believe it. He’s helping Leonard discover and kill this man. Leonard has established a habit during that time with tattoos and Polaroid photographs to construct an artificial storage system.
Teddy calls Leonard more than a year after the assassination of John G. Tingdy stays at a Discount Inn in some random town. He tells about the Sammy Jankis fictional story, a blend of real Sammy and his own story, and Leonard talks to him for a time. Teddy eventually gets him to meet him in the lobby and follow Jimmy Grantz, a local heroin dealer whose original guilty match. Teddy tries to rid himself of a criminal, make money and help Leonard. He is doing all these things with Leonard, too.
Memento quiz
Leonard travels to the site, kills Jimmy, and realizes the truth about what he did and what Teddy did to him. He wrote to himself notes — including Teddy’s number on the license plate — accusing Teddy of being the John G. It then appears at a pub where Natalie, Jimmy’s girlfriend, greets him. Or even sics Dodd on Leonard. We are not sure. We are not sure. Also, you must try to play this Memento quiz.
Leonard has chased the man who did it, but the fact that he can’t generate new memories since the accident complicates his search. Thus, Leonard believes that he can be disciplined sufficient to find revenge by conditioning. But the revelation does not unfold as the plot evolves but shows Leonard pursuing his own fantasy.
Rather, everyone he meets utilizes him from the vengeful bartender Natalie (Carrie Anne Moss), the dishonest cop of Teddy (Joe Pantoliano), and even the hotel desk staff Burt. Leonard is attached to this shred of control he thinks he has, but it’s a delusion. He thinks his tattoos and polaroids are hard proof, but as fabled as memory.
Leonard Shelby, a guy who merely feels that his power is an illusion, is in the filmography of Nolan, but it works especially effectively in Memento by the ways in which Nolan can meet the noir expectations.
About the quiz
Back in the back-time major tale, we see that because of his condition, Teddy and Natalie have both manipulated Leonard, but we don’t know who works for whom. We finally realize that Leonard on the telephone is Teddy in the Black and White schedule. He provides information for Leonard that leads Leonard to kill several people, including Natalie’s lover, the drug dealer J.G. The (forward time) black and white sequence merged with the (reverse time) sequence of colors and we are now at a time of the film startup.
Teddy comes into the picture and, bewildered, Leonard asks Teddy for information. Teddy believes Leonard killed the assailant of his wife over a year ago, and that Leonard intended to continue working for Teddy when that did not fix his memory issue. Knowing that Leonard will not recall the talk, Teddy confesses that Leonard has used Leonard to gain himself and that Sammy Jankis’s narrative has not been true—just in a manner in which Leonard made himself less culpable of the assault of the wife. In effect, Teddy says, the assault survived Leonard’s wife, and she indeed suffered from diabetes. Which Memento character are you?
The Sammy Jankis story, indeed, is a Leonard story. With frequent insulin doses, Leonard himself killed his wife.
Leonard rejects the belief that Teddy has used him and caused him to kill people who were not the murderer of his wife, and so makes a note of Teddy’s Polaroid image that he should be relied upon. He also takes Teddy’s registration plate number down to get it tattooed on his body so that Teddy is his wife’s assailant for the future, forgetting. He drops off—to kill Teddy soon, as we witnessed at the film’s start.
