Was there anyone who couldn't resist laughing watching Leonard's ticks?


In spite of it being a heart touching movie...

Actually, when Leonard seizes up and tells Sayer to get the camera, I always find that hilarious, when Leonard just says "lurr lurr" over and over.

I found myself laughing at that part too, could not help it. But the dancing scene brought me back to the seriousness of the movie.

Leonard did not say "lur, lur". What he kept saying was: "Learn, learn, learn from me." If he had to go through such hell, at least he hoped it might be useful to others.



"What is the law?"
"Not to eat meat - are we not men?"

Yes I couldn't help myself.

I didn't laugh at all to be honest. I just couldn't help but think how horrible it must be for someone to lose control like that while being aware of it.
