"...she's taken a look at this suit and the car..." takes on a whole new meaning after the ending.
Don’t you mean the beginning
@@FendiGarcon1 haha
I love that you can get more out of this film just by watching it again
@@FendiGarcon1More of the middle actually. Black and white is past, colour is future and both segments meet in the end which is technically the middle.
Pantoliano's dialog delivery is like music.
I remember him saying in an interview somewhere that that's basically how he interprets dialogue--like music. He related it to the fact that he couldn't read until he was about 19-20 (according to himself.) He's an incredible actor and his life story is super-interesting.
@@johne.nobody2946 oh, thats cool.
i know. hes so friggin good in this film
I quoted " Take my pen. Write this down. Do Not Trust Her." Almost every day
I absolutely love 3:22 because you can see a simple question addressed to Leonard with Teddy looking at him in the eye as to the part of his memory, that physically should function just fine and which he should have no reason to lie about, and instead he completely dodges the question, turns his face away and looks far out the window while defensively asserting: "I didn't SELL insurance, I was an INVESTIGATOR!" and at that moment I just knew that goddamit - not only is he physically brain damaged, he's also lying to himself about the part of his brain that physically does work. It's like that blowhard dude that served in the army, and will claim they saw some hard shit, and then you find out they were just a POG (Person Other than Grunt).
Not POG, FOBBIT. What's with this belief that only grunts see hard shit?
I love that line "unfinished buisness". Bluffing that he knows what hes doing. He doesnt know anything, but he feels a perpetual desire for revenge
yup. He's a raging lunatic, really. But because the story is told from his POV, ..... Then we realize WE are raging lunatics. lol
I think after the incident, Teddy helped Lenny find and kill the second man in the bathroom. Then, after that, Lenny's wife died from heartbreak. Ya know, giving Lenny his "last test".
Then Lenny went to the mental institution. Maybe he escaped the institution or maybe Teddy helped him leave the institution to weaponize him to kill Jimmy. Or maybe there were others before Jimmy. Or maybe there were others that Lenny weaponized himself to kill, like he ultinately premeditated murdering Teddy and weaponized himself to do so.
@@bradhirsch4845 Teddy definitely helped him escape.
One thing I think is great about the movie, is there are tons of audience members who walk away not understanding the movie or Lenny's the villain, its very fitting
I can never get over the fact that this movie has both Trinity and Cypher in it 😂
Well, duh, this was a Matrix prequel.
I had to watch this movie 3 times just to wrap my head around it. Still a great film
I've seen it 9 -12 times
"Oh, so in your grief, you wandered into Jaguar dealship."
You can see Leonard, despite retaining his composure, his eyes are darting around computing his sudden contradiction.
@Pushiswin “Jaguar” is a luxury car brand. A dealership is where cars are sold. A “Jaguar dealership” is a car dealership that sells Jaguar cars.
Teddy was using him but the only one who gave a shit about him
Teddy technically never lied to him.
3:13 Teddy was almost going to say "Since you've been killing John G's" lol
That detail when Teddy just pull out the Ferdy's bar coaster from "Leonard's" car
Didn't know ralphie was a part time police officer apart from being a wise guy.
Cypher still could not get over Trinity.
Nice to know that Cypher and Trinity got work right after Matrix. And some work!
Well he did say he wanted to be rich, like an actor. Trinity was simply put back into the Matrix and ended up working with Cypher without ever knowing about each other before they were plugged back in.
Before Neo came along, Cypher took a shine to her.
It's probably one of the very few moments in the film where Teddy's actually being honest with leonard.
There's a lot of good double meanings to scenes and characters once you know the whole film. Like how Teddy might be totally serious in telling Leonard to not trust Natalie, but it's apparent that given how Teddy and Jimmy were in contact, she probably would know who he was. Therefore Leonard's suspicion would be correct, though Natalie doesn't know that it was a double cross and that Teddy was a police officer.
How I found out the car Leonard drives in the color sequences is not his: Leonard is from San Francisco, but his car has a number plate from Nevada.
If it wasn’t for Leonard purposely getting teddys license plate and tattooing it on his body then Teddy might’ve lived. Natalie doesn’t know who Teddy is, she’s heard the name and may have seen his face before but never put two and two together, yet Teddy has no idea that Leonard did that. This movie is so mind blowing I must’ve watched it 30 times
1:55 One of the moments when you knew for sure that Teddy was telling the truth. Also the moment when we all wonder wtf hes up to?
He wants the money in the boot of the car. But what I don't understand is that why can't Teddy just take all the money? It's not like Lenny will remember it's in there, due to his condition.
I didn't mean that, I mean the VERY first time you watch the movie, Teddy keeps acting friendly, but then he literally admits that hes following Leonard around, he knows about the people Leonard has been around, but yet they don't know who Teddy is. Thats what was creepy about this scene. This just one of the moments where he was clearly telling the truth about Natalie not being aware who "Teddy" is.
One thing I always used to question is why does Teddy keep making jokes about cars, trying to get Lenny in the wrong one, suggesting to steal Dodd's truck, and saying "wanna trade?" He does this a bunch of times. It was because hes trying to find an opportunity for Leonard to leave the Jag somewhere so he can come back and break into it or steal it. If he could do that, he could take all the money, but he also might feel bad for Leonard so he might have been planning to leave him some anyway. At the end he says "NO!!!! you get half!" He said it as if he was insulted that Leonard thought he was going to take ALL the cash for himself.
What I find creepy is that how many times has Teddy helped Lenny kill John G's in many towns.
Yup.. We don't even know how many for sure.
But why didn’t Teddy tale the money when Lenny was at Natalies house since he had access to his cat at the time
2:35 Those kinds of questions are going to get Leonard in trouble. He’s wearing a suit that’s too big for him and driving an expensive car. When Teddy asks logical questions, Leonard immediately has an answer for everything. He’s self-deluded without even realizing it. Jimmy’s other associates or the police are going catch up to Leonard and he won’t have Teddy covering his tracks. There is no way he can continue to operate without consequences.
Indeed. After he shoots Teddy I imagine Natalie uses him for a while before he inevitably crosses paths with the wrong person or attracts police attention, probably due to something as obvious to us as carelessly remaining in blood-stained clothes and continuing to drive a known dealer's car - as from his perspective, his awareness of himself and the passage of time resets every time his attention is drawn, so like an unquestioning dreamer wandering through an incoherent assemblage of places and events he's conditioned himself to simply accept without question the novel circumstances he's perpetually finding himself in.
How did he not see him when he first got in? 😂
He probably took the money in the trunk, i never realised that
No the whole point is Teddy is trying to get the money the entire movie. He gets killed before he gets it.
Damn seeing joe pantoliano in michael bay and nolan movie is insane
If teddy REALLY just wanted the money then
A) he could easily break into the jag while Lenny is asleep in the motel, since he knows where he is
B) he could be stood by the car, call Lenny over by name, show him his badge and say "Open the trunk", and basically play cop
Shas'O Swoll according to Nolan he said that the reason he didn't just take the money is because teddy liked Lenny too much
@@jackwood7508 It's obviously a copout explanation though. Nolan likely didn't want to put the effort into writing a more thorough explanation but also anticipated that audiences would be so caught up in the confusing narrative that they wouldn't even remember to ask what Teddy was doing the whole fucking time.
Remenber when Teddy says to Lenny "I give a reason to live" well may that work for both
Not only for Lenny
That's why Teddy keeps working with Lenny and yeah taking money in the meantime
Joe Pantoliano in this movie looks like Jim Gordon
This movie is good even tho I don't fully understand it
The car was unlocked, why didn't Teddy take the money and disappear?
Why hasn’t Christopher Nolan hasn’t casted these guys since!?!??!
When it comes to Joe, he and Nolan may have had a falling out since he wanted him to play Flass in Batman Begins but turned it down because he felt he should've gotten Jim Gordon's part because he was one of the main characters in Memento and according to Joe, it was "embarrassing" to go from such a prominent role in Memento to basically a minor, expendable character in Batman Begins. As for Guy, no idea.
@@salarzx62090 Joe should’ve been the mob boss in The Dark Knight and better yet a supporting role in Insomnia as well. Joe would’ve been good as the drug dealer in Inception, and even in Tenat.
@@DMalltheway I feel like Guy Pearce could have been Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight or Cobb in Inception. Also, I guess Guy was originally asked about Ras Al Gul but Nolan determined he was too young.
@@TheGreatestVoice1958 No role in Inception, Oppenheimer?
@@DMalltheway I didn’t see Oppenheimer, and I said he could have had DiCaprio’s role in Inception. I also feel like he would have been great as the joker.
Honestly someone should do a deepfake of this with Brad Pitt and Steve Buscemi.
Still not sure why he didn't just get the money from the back since the entire film it felt like this was all about for him
Teddy is stupid Lenny recognize how Teddy know where Natalie is living
Teddy was right all along
3:15 Follow the 🐇.
Is Teddy worried that if Lenny gets caught it leads them to Teddy
Is that Bill Burr on Helium?
