I just watched this for the first time. What an amazing movie. Has to be one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I like movies with a twist.

And I love, love, love Carrie-Ann Moss.

She does a great job. But I was so angry at the character she played.

coolcat said:

That indeed means she did a great job.

HamsterHuey said:

Yeah, me too. And I really loved the slickness of this movie... The visuals, the music...

good movie

It slightly reminded me of the movie in your avatar.

Amazing film.

I was all smug and thought I'd got the twist nailed until that final segment and then I was like:

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED NO WAAAAAY.

Albeit in a more dignified, English manner:

Crikey!

Really amazing that the director pulled this off... it could have fallen apart but it didn't.

coolcat said:

It's just that...WHAT IF TEDDY WAS RIGHT?!

Yes, I really liked this film as well. I have my own copy.

My father who has short term memory loss due to a brain aneurysm tried to watch it one night...that was pretty funny.

I pretty much took everything Teddy said at the end (ie: the beginning) as the truth...

I can imagine. It's hard enough to follow as it is. Did you think it was accurate in its portrayal of short term memory loss?

Hell.....I've forgotton what it was about.

coolcat said:

Ya, pretty much from what I have seen with my dad...but he doesn't have it quite that bad...thankfully. It's hard enough for him the way he is.

I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be.

Good Movie and it certainly takes more than one viewing. I'm still not sure I get it all.

JustErin said:

Me neither. Sorry your father has to go through that.

We take our thoughts and memories all for granted... but behind it all is a delicate complex piece of machinery.

Thanks. At least he survived it, many do not!

coolcat said:

Yeah, Primer was a really cool movie, too. No special effects necessary, just w great idea.

NDRU said:

Yes.

and yes.

I work w/alzheimer's patients, and it didn't seem anything like their behavior. But he didn't have the cognitive issues people w/Alzheimer's have, he just had the memory loss, so it's tough to say.

Memory loss is really different with different causes.

But mostly, it was a little overly dramatic because it was a movie. A great one at that!

I really love this movie. I watched it when it was out, then a few times when it came out on DVD. Watched it again with some people who hadn't seen it about a year ago. They liked it too.


It's still a favorite, despite the glaring plothole.

I knowwww! When she sat in that car watching and waiting for the inevitable. Infuriating!
