I've been avoiding watching this movie for some strange reason. I think it's because people tell me it's a movie I'd really like. I don't like it when people tell me what I'm supposed to like, like they have me all figured out. I resent that. Plus Christopher Nolan is the "it" director right now so it seemed a little mainstream to me. But, despite all that it's still a good movie and not really what I expected. The twists and turns weren't as obvious as I thought they'd be and it wasn't as convoluted as I thought it'd be.
My favorite part of the movie (initially anyway) was the importance of facts and fact-finding to the protagonist. He has no short term memory so he has to take notes, rely only on facts and put things together off of instinct repeatedly. I sort of want to write a research paper for pleasure now. I'm such a dork. Check out the movie though it's an interesting time. I'm off to do some deductive reasoning.
