Opening Scene for Memento.

Memento is the opening I had not seen before, and I was very intrested by what I saw.
It seemed to be quite low budget, from the slow unintresting titles, to the very basic shot of just the polaroid, as steadily the audience gains an idea that it is being reversed. Everything was very basic yet what was seen was all there to intrest further, which leads to suggest that the main force of the the film was it's story.
