i can't believe i get it. at least i think i do. the last scence of the movie gave it away. he told himself to look for john G. who was teddy. teddy wasn't even the killer but he made his own self believe that he was the killer. so therefore sammy jenkis was not real, he just made himself believe that he was real. he was really sammy jenkis. he made himself go on a wild goose chase to make himself find the killer of his wife. he didn't want to remember the truth. he was the one who killed her.

The only thing i didn't understand about the movie is how come he knows his has this memory disorder cause clearly he was diagnosed after he got it, and then shouldn't he forget he has it or i guess he just logically creates the idea each time that he has it.

oh i know, it was like the third time watching it for me. that was the only thing that kept me from getting the actual story. whether his wife had diabetes or not. but yeah the first time was just confusing as hell lol

yeah theres so much to this story that watching it once doesn't do it justice. you should watch it a few times and put the puzzle together yourself.

oh, well that makes sense xDDDD thanks haha

see thats the thing though he doesn't remember everything. he's mixed stories from his insurance cases with his own personal life. he doesn't know whats real or fake.

but wait.. if lenny remembers everything up until the incident, and his wife survived, he would have remembered that she didnt have diabetes...

Yessssssssss (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

thats the point, the purpose of the movie was for the audiance to feel confused (to be like leonard) and Betrayed (due to our trust in Leonard found to be fake. He being a ice cold killer for his own enjoyment.)
