True or False Trivia: Memento

One of the fascinating pieces of trivia below is true*, the other is false. Do YOU know which is which?

Today’s trivia is brought to you by Eric from The IPC, and it’s a real stumper! Eric is a master of movie trivia and uses Liquid-Plumr to brush his teeth because he says he’s “onto something.” Enjoy!

Memento (2000)

1) When numbering the scenes chronologically, then sorting them how they appear in the film, the pattern becomes more clear. The letters A-V will represent the color scenes (with A happening chronologically first, and V chronologically last), and the numbers 1-22 represent the black and white scenes chronologically. The scenes appear in the film like this: 1, V, 2, U, 3, T, 4, S, 5, R, 6, Q…20, C, 21, B, 22/A[1] The two types of scenes alternate. The black and white scenes (numbers) start from the very beginning soon after the injury, and work forward to the climax at 22/A, while the color scenes (letters) work backward from the climax at 22/A. The climax scene (22/A) changes to color halfway through, showing the convergence of the two story lines.

2) I once drunkenly groped Carrie-Ann Moss at a special screening of The Matrix when I lived in L.A.

    Hey everybody – one of my favorite things I read is when the boys over at HARD TICKET TO HOME VIDEO publish their “TRUE OR FALSE TRIVIA” movie trivia posts. Recently I nutted up and sent them a submission and they accepted it!!! Please go check it out and remember, when it comes to which one is true or false….. I used to spend my summers right outside of Los Angeles…..

      • It holds up surprisingly well, the only annoying bit is that it repeats a little at the scene changes. But it goes to show how well made the film is.

        The other easter egg is less well made, it looks like it was taken from a security camera and it had black censor bars over their eyes for some reason.
