Crime/Thriller

I'm going to get more in-depth with the genre for this film. I chose Crime/Thriller primarily because I believe the best movies come from this genre. In Crime thrillers, The ones committing the crime are usually loved by the audience. Even if the person committing the crime is doing something horrible, the audience might think what the criminal is doing is badass. The most important things in a crime/thriller movie are violence, suspense, and the way the actors are being portrayed.

For example, in the movie memento by Christopher Nolan, the main character continuously talks to a person on the phone, although we do not know who the person he is talking to, we assume he/she is someone good.  Leanord (the main character) talks about how a patient he worked with in the past known as Sammy, had the same mental issues he has now, where he loses his memory after a certain period of time. When Eleanor is explaining how severe Sammy's illness is to the person on the phone we see Sammy sitting in a chair in the hospital with doctors all wondering by him.

Christopher Nolan added a little easter egg to this scene. Very close to the end of 14 seconds we see the doctor pass by Sammy and Leanord is sitting there instead of sammy. This whole time the audience is forced to believe that leonard is telling a story about Sammy when really he is talking about himself.
The plot twists and confusion is crime thrillers is a key reason as to why they are my favorite.
