Second paragraph:

I am still working on it 

Nolan’s Memento is the story of Leonard, a man who is struggling to track down his wife’s killer because he suffers from a rare case of memory loss called anterograde amnesia, which was caused by a blow to the side of the head by the people who murdered his wife. You can image would make it rather hard for this protagonist to play detective. Leonard attempts to resolve this handicap by keeping a file, map, Polaroid photos with specific notes on them, and he even goes as far as to tattoo facts that might lead up to his wife’s killer on his body. Midway into the movie Leonard is on the phone explaining to the person on the other what living feels like, “I don't even know how long she's been gone… but I don't want to wake up in the morning, thinking she's still here. I lie here not knowing … how long I've been alone. So how … how can I heal? How am I supposed to heal if I can't … feel time?” (Memento)This point in the movie is very insightful when trying to understand the severity of his condition. Although, Nolan delivers the story in a very unique way, in the perceptive of Leonard, telling it in a reverse narrative leaves the audience as confused to what the clues he sees actually mean. Is Nolan still stereotyping (like the rest of Hollywood) only one part of this condition? And what is this condition actually caused by?
