Film Art and Cinematography : Which movie has the most powerful ending, mayne?

Leonard uses tattoos, notes and polaroids to help him keep track of what he's doing, particularly in relation to his big mission – to find the man who raped and murdered his wife and injured him, giving him his condition.

During his ongoing investigation, Leonard tells the story of Sammy Jankis, a man with the same condition as him, who Leonard investigated when he was an insurance loss adjuster. Jankis killed his wife by giving her an overdose of insulin – she didn't believe he had amnesia and kept requesting more insulin in an attempt to get him to admit he was lying.

Anyways, through a series of clues and leads, Leonard finds the man he believes is his and his wife's attacker, a guy called Teddy, and kills him.

The twist: Only that's not what actually happened. At all.

The attackers who injured Leonard, causing his condition, raped his wife but didn't actually kill her. Leonard did, via an insulin overdose – Leonard is Sammy Jankis, but created the story as a way of dealing with the guilt.

Teddy is not the attacker. He's actually an undercover cop who has been helping/using Leonard for a year. He helped Leonard find and kill the actual attacker a year ago, but Leonard couldn't retain the memory, so Teddy has allowed him to track and kill other dodgy characters, making him think each one is the culprit.

Teddy explains all this to Leonard. After he's finished, Leonard destroys evidence of another man he's killed (having believed him to be the attacker) and deliberately writes 'Do Not Trust Teddy' on his polaroid – an action which eventually leads to Leonard murdering Teddy (which we saw at the start of the movie, but is actually the end of the timeline).

Nolan has provided several commentaries for the film, one where he claims Teddy is being truthful but also another where he claims Teddy is lying seemingly supporting both interpretations.

I believe the answers are all there in the film, but the terms of the storytelling deliberately prevent people from finding them. If you watch the film, and abandon your conventional desire for absolute truth - and the confirmation of absolute truth that most films provide you with - then you can find all the answers you're looking for. As far as I'm concerned, my view is very much in the film - the answers are all there for the attentive viewer, but the terms of the storytelling prevent me from being able to give the audience absolute confirmation. And that's the point.
