Ok, I just got done watching this. Holy Fuck! What a fantastic film! This is now one of my faves!

But Ive got a question, at the end, you get a glimpse of Lenny with his wife and hes got the tattoo on his heart. I forget what the tattoo said cause my memories about as good as Lenny's, but this tattoo is not in the film in the beginning. Could someone explain this to me?

I fear another wave of arguments about the narrative of this film, now that it's come to DVD.

Go to this thread, where you'll see the results of the efforts of a number of people, including myself, that were writing thousand-word posts on company time.

I believe the Tatoo said, "You've Done It" in big letters.

How did Leonard find out that there was a John G.?

Why didn't the other 'junky' just kill Leonard, after he knocked him out? No witnesses.

I think the reverse storytelling was a gimmick... and I don't think it worked very well. Too many holes. There shouldn't have been any kind of conclusion at the end of the film, if Nolan would have stuck with the reverse storytelling... we should have just been given facts, not some revelations.

Who wrote the note "Come see me after - Natalie"? When was that slipped into his pocket?

How did Leonard get that scratch on his face?

Too many questions... I was watching pretty intently, saw the little thing with Sammy/Leonard in the hospital... and I think this movie left too many unanswered questions.

If there are answers to those above questions, and I didn't see them, I'd love to hear the answers.

"Who wrote the note "Come see me after - Natalie"? When was that slipped into his pocket?"

Natalie wrote it to Jimmy, whose clothes Leonard put on after he made Jimmy take them off.

As for a conclusion, I don't know if there was one. What do you think the conclusion was?
