Memento is a 2000 American psychological thriller and neo-noir film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It was adapted from his younger brother Jonathan's short story, Memento Mori. The movie is presented as two different sequences of scenes: a series in black-and-white that are shown chronologically, and a series of color sequences shown in reverse order. The two sequences "meet" at the end of the film, producingone common story. It stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man with anterograde amnesia, which impairs hisability to store new memories. The opening credits show the end of the story, when Leonard commits murder.This killing is probably Leonard's revenge for the rape and murder of his wife.
记忆碎片是一部上映于2000年的美国心理悬疑片，克里斯托弗·诺兰是这部新黑色电影的导演兼编剧。电影改编自导演弟弟-乔纳森·诺兰的短篇小说-“记住你终有一死”。电影包括两个不同的序列场景：一个是以时间为主线的黑白片，一个是以倒叙为主的彩色片。这两个不同的顺序将会在电影的末尾融合，融合成一个故事。盖·皮尔斯饰演莱昂纳多·谢尔比，一个患有顺行性遗忘的男人，这使他无法储存新的记忆。影片一开场就告诉了我们结尾-即莱昂纳多谋杀的场景。莱昂纳多一直想为被奸杀的妻子报仇。
