Memento is not your average film because you can define it being a range of things for example strange, unusual but very exciting. You cannot identify it as a thriller from the beginning because it does not give of a feeling of suspense and edge of your seat feeling. The film's events unfold in two separate, alternating narratives — one in color, and the other in black and white. The black and white sections are told in chronological order, showing Leonard conversing with an anonymous phone caller in a motel room.

The type of music that is being playing played throughout the movie is quite thrilling but also dull and slow showing the type of movie that it is. It gives the feeling of suspense. The movie is all about 1 person and the music is almost identical to his personality throughout for example he is angry but sad at the same time and when the music is being played this makes us feel what he feels. I also feel that that the music shows tension within the film and this is good because there is always something going on in the movie as he is constantly finding new things but also things are also happening to him.

The movie shows a lot of close up scene as there is really only one main character I think this is good because the type of camera angles shown in the movie gives the impression that we are almost in his shoes.
