Filmen om idéer er en dygtigt tænkt idé, der dog ikke er unikt udført, men solid og seværdig. De mange mareridtstunge forklaringer og overraskende monotone actionsekvenser, der end ikke kan reddes af en hidsigt insisterende musikalsk ledsagelse, gør, at man efterlades med fornemmelsen af, at Nolans drømmeprojekt kunne have været eksekveret mere levende og spændstigt, end tilfældet er blevet. Christopher Nolan er forhåbentlig ikke udtømt for dejligt storladne idéer, så han i fremtiden kan give os flere fabelagtige drømmefilm. Den her drøm ønsker man desværre at vågne lidt for tidligt fra.

Den tanke har jeg også tænkt, meeen :-) Jeg bliver ihvertfald aldrig træt af den film. Så lige trailer til den film, du snakkede om på fb, Primer. Ser nice ud. Tror jeg tager chancen.

Jamen, projektioner kan da også være virkelige - ihvertfald i drømme. ;-)

There is some debate on what we are supposed to believe happened at the end of the film. Is Teddy lying/truthful? How did Leonard's wife die? Was there a 2nd attacker? Is Teddy the 2nd attacker? etc, etc. In most regards it does not matter what we believe happened in the backstory. The "twist" is independent of all of that.
The twist in the film is that at the end, no matter what the truth is, Leonard believes that Teddy is not the 2nd attacker. If Leonard believed that Teddy were the 2nd attacker, he would kill him then and there. Even though he does not believe Teddy is the 2nd attacker (whether he is or not) he still decides to set him up. Leonard even indicates in the voice-over before setting up Teddy that he does not even think the Teddy could be the 2nd attacker: "You think I just want another puzzle to solve? Another John G to look for? You're a John G. So you can be my John G. Do I lie to myself to be happy? In your case, Teddy, yes, I will."
We can argue why and/or how moral/immoral his actions are, but his actions demonstrate he does not believe Teddy is the 2nd attacker and is abandoning any quest for the 2nd attacker. Whether this means that Leonard believes him to be dead or "unfindable" is unclear.
Writing down Teddy's license plate indicates that Leonard believes that the 2nd attacker is already dead (or unknowable) and is choosing to set himself up to kill Teddy, a man he does not believe to the be the 2nd attacker. So he chooses to create what he believes is a "false quest" to seemingly give his existence some sort of purpose.
