"Familiarity breeds contempt"
That's a good way of describing it.
"Lenny woke up, not knowing that he has already killed John G. Teddy showed him the photo, the evidence, explained the whole thing, but Lenny was no longer happy or satisfied"
This ☝️
Like the escort said to him:
"Whatever gets you off" 😁
"I always interpreted this scene as just him wanting to feel like she is still alive and with him, so he pays the hooker to do that"
This ☝️
And something that just occurred to me!? According to the flashback scene! Leonard was violently slammed head first onto the bathroom mirror of his home by that one burglar that survived (which was obviously the cause of his memory problems). But shouldn't he have an noticable scar on the side of his face? I didn't see any!
This is something a poster on IMDB mentioned. For all intents and purposes. Leonard should wake up every morning still thinking he's an insurance agent.
"We are shown both Leonard remembering his wife getting the needle and then he remembers just pinching her"
Either that or he was recreating that scene in his head, based on what Teddy was telling him at the moment.
Did not know about the FDTD trivia.
I remember seeing an episode of "Adam ruins everything" where he explained how skewered the MPAA really is.
For instance:
1) If a heroine from a typical action movie yells "fuck you" to a guy she's about to punch out in context of a fight scene.
That'll get a PG-13 rating.
2) If that same scene suddenly has the heroine approach the baddie in a sensual manner and says "I want to fuck you" and they inexplicably start making out for some reason.
That'll get a R rating.
3) If that same scene replaced the heroine with some random guy and he recited the same line to the other guy?
That'll get an NC-17.
Yeah! I remember that detail from the book. They only went after Tattaglia and Barzini (the ones directly responsible). I never understood why they killed everyone in the movie. Including the Dons that remained neutral during the war of 1946.
