What type of narrative structure is prominently used in Christopher Nolan's film "Memento"?
Correct Answer
C. Non-linear
Explanation
Christopher Nolan's film "Memento" prominently uses a non-linear narrative structure. The film's storytelling is deliberately presented in a reverse chronological order, where the scenes are shown in reverse, starting with the end of the story and moving backward in time. This narrative structure is used to immerse the audience in the perspective of the main character, Leonard Shelby, who suffers from short-term memory loss, making it difficult for him to form new memories. As a result, the audience experiences the story in a fragmented and disorienting manner, mirroring Leonard's own experience as he tries to solve the mystery of his wife's murder. The use of this non-linear structure is a distinctive and memorable aspect of the film.
