MovieClips - Memento - Testing Sammy Jankis 

That cut is eerie af

hmm

My read on it is that Sammy Jankis *IS* Lenny. That those things happened to him. There may or may not have been an assault on his wife, but he deffo OD-Ed her.

@@octobeard4946 The assault most likely happened because he have a solid memory of the scene and not just tattoed on his body and cop would'nt even took interest of him in the first place if it didnt happen. Sammy Jenkins needs to be remembered via tattoo so as John G.

@@cptloro.rielbila Yeah, but you’ve gotta remember: he’s an unreliable narrator. We only ever have his word for what happened with his wife or Sammy. Doesn’t exactly prove anything either way, but worth thinking about…

@@octobeard4946 You know what? I believe Teddys truth about all of it now. I revisited their scene and there is no reason for Teddy to lie to someone with that condition in that particular moment. Sammy is a real person a conman a fake but Lenny learns to believe in him same as his situation after he killed his wife because he turned into lies, faking and he doesn't want the truth. They really caught "John G" the one who assaulted his wife and escaped. The picture is the evidence because he kept it. I think his wife had diabetes after the incident that's why he doesn't remember her having one and he do learned through instincts while having the condition for he is now good with the needle. He Overdosed his wife but he doesn't remember it. And for those saying why would he inject insulin into someone who is already gone while after he had the condition, why wont you believe in a scene where Lenny can see physically his wife in front of him asking him to inject the shot, like youll believe the fact shes in physically in front of you than a memory of her dying? Come on.

If the pure intention of killing Jimmy Grant ( Lenny's reality that he was his wife murderer) is for vengance, why would he have time to think that he need to change clothes with him before he kill him??

Sammy was faking and he didn't have a wife.

Its some kind of poetic Justice

@@theumbrellacorporation1523 I think Sammy DID actually exist. He was a real client of Leonard's, whom he exposed as a fake and a fraud. Leonard fabricated the rest of Sammy's story, though (him having a wife/insulin/accidentally killing his wife), in order to project what really happened to him onto someone else so as to protect himself from discovering that horrific truth again and again.

@@michaeldepinto3562 Yeah and Leonard just fabricated the rest of Sammy’s story to fit his own. - A tragedy occurred in their lives that ruined their memory - They were both unable to form new memories after their incidents - Their wives were Type 1 diabetic and required insulin shots routinely - Both accidentally killed their wives after their wives tested them during routine insulin shots Sammy never had a wife nor an accident that led to anterograde amnesia. Leonard lies to himself to be happy.

Sammy is a fraud that Leonard exposed, and the rest of his story is bull.

My Wife...

Dying.

Your comment.

@@mrsjoy8831 That's sweet...

@@skdjirrrdjdm3926 it's from the movie...

Thank you.

what?? His wife, in reality, survived, so he, in reality, actually gave her shots.

@@gimmemoreborisbrejcha9794 nah his wife was raped by her drug dealer(teddy's partner) who leonard shot. teddy needs a new partner so he links up with a dude with a short term memory loss condition. remember leonard never saw teddy on the crime scene cuz he was hit from behind and leonard's wife, the only other witness is dead. teddy is a cop so he knows all the tricks and is very carefule.

mc dude, did you even watch the movie? Teddy explicitly states that Leonard's wife survived the incident and Leonard's wife was diabetic. Sammy was a con artist that Leonard investigated.

Watch the movie in chronological order, you will realize just how twisted Leonards perspective is, and more importantly that he is the one twisting it for himself. The memory of seeing his wife "die" is only as real as all the other memeories he gives himself through his photos and tatoos.
