While it might be a favorite for some, Pearce is a much harsher critic.
“Im shit in that movie,” he admits.
But while it was playing, I realized I hate what I did."
“And so all this stuff about an exec at Warners being why Ive not worked with Chris again?
It came crashing down.
I know why I didnt work with Chris again its because Im not good in Memento.”
Picking apart his performance as Leonard Shelby, Pearce explained why it doesn’t sit right with him.
“I was trying to do a flippant attitude, but it was all wrong.
Yet I watched Mementoand realized Im bad in a good movie.
Now in its 25th anniversary, Memento was the movie that helped Christopher Nolan break into Hollywood.
Unfortunately, the actor seems pretty set in his recent analysis.
“Its funny; people say I shouldve been nominated for Memento.
Now I understand why I wasnt.
Look, Im pleased with LA Confidential, but I look at this and go, Oof!
Nails on a chalkboard!
If I reckon my performance in Neighboursis two out of ten, Mementois a five.”
Well, we still hold it in quite high regard.
