What did everyone think about Memento's ending? Was Leonard really revenge-crazy and trying fool himself into believing John G is still alive? If John G was dead, Leonard would've had no reason to live. He would've had nothing to do, so he tried to trick himself so he could continue searching. Or was Teddy lying about everything he told him at the end? Teddy doesn't look like a cop and he had been lying throughout the movie.
I have some questions:
Who was the cop Leonard was talking to on the phone (I might have missed that part)?
I didn't get the part at the end when Teddy tells him his wife survived the accident and she is the one that's diabetic. If his wife was alive, why would Leonard think she's dead? and why wouldn't Leonard remember she is the diabetic one (since he remembers everything before that accident). It could be that he WANTS to believe that his wife is dead, because his wife didn't accept his condition and she left him. He wants to believe his wife didn't leave him, but that she died instead.
Also, if Leonard couldn't make any new memories after the accident, then how does he REMEMBER about his condition? Every time he wakes up, he seems to know that he has this rare condition and know about his quest to find the killer. Shouldn't he be confused every time he wakes up, thinking he has just woken the day after the accident and oblivious to the fact that he has amnesia? Whenever he wakes up, he seems to know what he is basically doing (trying to find the killer). He knows there are pictures in his pockets, and tattoos on his body to help him. He also knows that his wife died a long time ago. If he couldn't make new memories, everytime he woke up, he would've felt like his wife died just yesterday. What's the deal?
