Memento is a phsycological thriller film, the main character of the film is a man called leonard who part way through the film is diagnosed with short term memory loss and can't remember something that happend half an hour ago unless he takes photos and writes down what happens. His wife was assaulted which is when he got hit on the head which resulted in his memory loss because he tried to help her. Important things that he needs to remember he has a tattoo saying important facts.
A cop rings Lennie and tells him that he knows what he has done, Lennie is unaware that he killed a man and believes that his wife died in the assault. The Cop (Teddy) helps Lennie find the man that killed his wife resulting in Lennie killing him.
Teddy then explains that Lennnie has already killed the man he thought killed his wife and that he has just killed someone else.
Throughout the film Lennie makes references to a Man called Sammie who apparantly killed his own wife because she kept telling him to inject her with her insulin and because Sammie had memory loss he didnt realise he was giving her an overdose.
Later on in the film we find out that Sammie is made up and the story of him killing his wife is actually Lennies story.
The plot of events that really happend were
Lennies Wife is Assaulted
Lennie gets memory loss
wife diabetic
lennis injects with too much insulin
Sammie is just a made up story
