COMPARING TWO CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FILMS:
MEMENTO starring Guy Pearce -
A man with anterograde amnesia which renders his brain unable to store new memories. He uses his own body tattoos and photograph to recall memories.
Christopher Nolan Interview about Memento:
INSOMNIA starring Al Pacino, Hilary Swank and Robin Williams -
A Detective who suffers insomnia due to the midnight sun and guilt for his misdeeds. He investigates the murder of a 17-year-old girl.
Both films directed by Christopher Nolan both uses thriller conventions. We first notice this by the slow eerie music played by strings. In Memento, we first see a picture of a man with blood, this could already link to the storyline and the genre because of 'blood'. Its the same as in Insomnia where we see a blood appear through cloth. We also see the settings of the both films; in Memento, we see this segregated area where no one would seem to go visit there; and in Insomnia, we can see the plane flying above this wide isolated snowy rocks (Exotic Locations).
