Memento has a distinct, unique structure. The movie title demonstrates and describes how the story is governed by past particles, rather than plain memory. By working backwards, Christopher Nolan (director) unveils the process in which Leonard (Guy Pearce) attempts to find the man who raped and murdered his now dead wife. The catch of it all is Leonard suffers from a special form of short term memory loss which is not treatable. The extraordinary frame work lures you into each moment, as if you’re

Howard the Duck is strange reading material and in a completely different category than what we read last week. I think it is really interesting as an example of the “funny animal” trope. This is when an animal (in a comic, cartoon, etc.) walks around on two legs like a human, and acts like a human, and is saddled with human problems.

While the prior two texts focus of the social and political aspects of manipulation, a different more sinister theme of manipulation is expressed in ‘The Dark Knight’. Manipulation in this film feeds off another theme of human nature. This type of manipulation is somewhat more relevant in our day today because as a human we go through highs and lows which leave us vulnerable. During the film Harvey Dent’s fiance is brutally killed in the plot which left him with only half a face. The series of events

Summary The crime film Memento is about a man named Leonard Shelby (Lennie) who suffers from a condition called anterograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia, as Lennie explains in the movie, is the inability to create new memories. He refers to it as “no short term memory” because everything he recently does quickly fades away from his head and he can’t remember any of it, he can only remember things that took place in his life before he had the condition. A major injury to the head was the cause of
