Memento chronicles the story of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. the narrative of the movie is crucially important as the story is told backwards with the beginning of one scene being the end of the next. this means the viewer must remember the previous scene for the next scene to make sense and there are also scenes in Leonard's bedroom which reveal the story up to the beginning (if you are talking about the movie chronologically). its a clever psychological trick which draws the viewer in and makes the viewer sympathize with the main character.
