    A linear story is split in two parts.

    The black and white sections explain Leonard’s backstory and show that he’s willing to lie to himself to be happy just like his wife was willing to lie to him because she was unhappy.

    The color section is revealing the consequences of Teddy using Leonard, but also Leonard’s willingness to lie to himself.

    The special edition DVD had it recut in a linear fashion. It works both ways… linear is a standard detective story without much depth. Recut, it’s a compelling story about Truth and consequences
