Trust me on this one.

I recently bought a Blu-Ray player and have been watching a lot of discs, some new and some old. One of the older ones is "Memento," which came out a few years ago. At the time I had illusions of making a living as a screenwriter, like so many movie lovers. I hung out on a forum inhabited by actual screenwriters with produced credits. When "Memento" came out it was like a bomb going off. The pro's pros were falling all over themselves in their enthusiasm. There is a phrase in the trade called high concept. It means writing something strikingly original, something every other writer wishes they had come up with. In this case it is a story told backwards. Brilliant.
