Play contract killer 2 online12/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Leonard, of course, denies this, believing that all of his memories from before his wife's death are intact, and therefore he would know whether or not his wife was a diabetic. While talking to Teddy, Leonard also learns that the story of Sammy and his wife is apparently not actually true, that the Sammy story is actually a story from Leonard's own life. Memento (2000) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers YouTube Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) and Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) appear in Memento (2000). But that's not the end of the revelations. Of course, in the end, Leonard learns through Teddy's monologue that he's been harming people who may or may not be deserving for quite some time, due to Teddy's manipulations. ![]() Sammy's story looms large in Leonard's memory, at first as the origin of a certain degree of guilt, a reminder that his condition is not just real, but something of which he must constantly be mindful, lest he hurt someone who doesn't deserve it. Instead, he kept forgetting, and ended up overdosing and killing her. The idea was, of course, that if Sammy didn't have anterograde amensia, he would remember that he'd already given her the shot. It fell to Sammy's wife (Harriet Sansom Harris) to essentially test her husband by repeatedly reminding him to give her insulin shots. It was up to Leonard to determine Sammy's true status for insurance purposes, but Leonard didn't necessarily believe in Sammy's condition. In the past, Leonard met with a man named Sammy (Stephen Toblowsky), who claimed to suffer from anterograde amnesia. It was a single word, "Sammy," which reminded Leonard of his days as an insurance adjuster before the attack that killed his wife. To do that, we need to go back to the information that Jimmy whispered to Leonard as he died. Now it's time to talk a little bit about why it all happened the way it did. So we've established what happened as the film presented it to us. As the film ends, Leonard vows to continue his quest for revenge, and even reveals that he's willing to lead false clues to guide him if it means he can get revenge. In response, Leonard leaves a note to himself that Teddy is not to be trusted, setting up his eventual plan to kill Teddy after Natalie provides him the clues that point in that direction. In fact, Leonard killed that man a year ago, and Teddy has been using Leonard's condition to his advantage ever since, essentially making the very driven man his own personal contract killer, engineering clues that will lead Leonard to his chosen target. Leonard confronts Teddy about this, and Teddy –– realizing that in a matter of minutes Leonard will forget the information anyway –– reveals that the real killer of Leonard's wife is already dead. In the black-and-white sequences, Leonard follows Teddy's clues and kills Jimmy (Larry Holden), but as Jimmy's dying, he offers Leonard a piece of information that suggests he's the wrong man (more on that in a second). In the color sequences, Leonard finally syncs up his clues with Teddy's information (with Natalie's help) and kills him. All the while Leonard is looking for someone named "John G" or "James G," one of his few clues as to the killer's identity, and both Teddy himself and the man Teddy sends Leonard to kill, Jimmy, match those initials in some way. ![]() Meanwhile, the reverse-chronological color sequences feature a bartender named Natalie ( Carrie-Anne Moss), who points Leonard in the direction of Teddy himself as his wife's killer. The chronological black-and-white sequences reveal all of this, and point the way to a cop named Teddy (Joe Pantoliano), who has information that will lead Leonard to his wife's killer. RELATED: Christopher Nolan Movies, Ranked One of the men responsible for the attack is already dead, but the other is at large, and Leonard has been using his tattoo system to hunt for that man ever since, seeking revenge for his late wife. Leonard got his amnesia through a head injury sustained when his wife (Jorja Fox) was attacked and murdered in their home one day. The protagonist of the film is Leonard ( Guy Pearce), a man with anterograde amnesia, which means that he can't form new memories and therefore must keep track of his life through a series of notes, pictures, and most importantly, tattoos of important clues and events. As we've already established, Memento unfolds in two different ways, giving us a series of black-and-white scenes that movie in chronological order, as well as color scenes that move in reverse chronological order, until they all meet in the middle. ![]()
