The Caper | |
| Reminiscence / int_1b65eaf3 | comment |
The Caper: Forms the backstory of the events in the movie and is the reason Mae came into the office in the first place. Bannister's memory vault was the target from the beginning and she arranged everything with Boothe, from asking around about his romantic and musical preferences, to the "misplacement" of the keys that would lead her to his office. | |

| Reminiscence / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Nick doesn't figure out Watts is in love with him until he accesses a memory where Mae confronts Watts about it. Subverted in that he doesn't notice and is more focused on the fact that she was drunk when she should have been watching the memory vault. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Reminiscence / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Mae dropping one of her jade earrings on the street outside Bannister's office, knowing he would come looking for her despite leaving him behind without a word. All this was to have him save the child of Elsa Carine, a client of his from earlier in the movie, who we find out later was having an affair with a big-shot land baron, Walter Sylvan. To wit: Mae showed up at Bannister's office for the final time and was knocking on the door when she was caught up to by Boothe, a Dirty Cop who used to work with Saint Joe, a drug lord in New Orleans. She agreed to go quietly but surreptitiously dropped one of her trademark jade earrings on the street outside the office, knowing he would find it and renew his obsession with her. In an unrelated case, the prosecutor calls him and his partner, Watts, to get the memories of a gangster who worked with Saint Joe. In the suspect's memories, Bannister saw Mae, prompting him to follow her trail to New Orleans, and from there to catch up with Boothe, leading him to find the client's child, Freddie. What makes this border on Gambit Roulette is the dependence on his obsession with her to pursue every lead he can find related to her, no matter how tenuous. She was counting on him finding out from Watts that the vault had been left unsupervised and that she stole Elsa Carine's memory chip, finding out that the man she had the affair with was Walter Sylvan, and following that thread to his legitimate son, who initiated this entire conspiracy. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Nick is able to find out what happened to Mae only after she is dead, and subjects her killer to such a brutal fate that his sentence would normally be "worse than murder". However, for his role in exposing a conspiracy, he is able to cut a plea deal where his "sentence" is to be allowed to relive his memories of his relationship with Mae for the rest of his natural life. | |

Shameless Fanservice Girl | |
| Reminiscence / int_6563aeb6 | comment |
Shameless Fanservice Girl: The memory tanks in Nick's office are filled with water, so most of his clients to change into some bathing suits to climb into it. But when Mae first comes in to have her memory searched, she's in a hurry so she simply strips completely naked right in front of a startled Nick (though we see only her bare back and shoulders) and climbs into the tank in the nude. Later, when Nick and Watts are watching her memories, Nick turns away when Mae starts to change clothes and Watts rolls her eyes and snarks that she likely wouldn't care if he watched. It's later revealed she was deliberately trying to seduce him, meaning she was invoking this so not to get him suspicious to her intentions. | |

Prefers the Illusion | |
| Reminiscence / int_687f9874 | comment |
Prefers the Illusion: Nick's entire business revolves around people wanting the relive a better time, getting into his memory machine that lets them relive a time when the world was better. In the end, Nick himself rejects everything he learned about Mae and chooses to live out the rest of his life in the positive memories he shared with her in the tank. Gee, that's healthy... although considering the alternative was a life sentence its kind of understandable. Also true for the old woman whose son tried to cover up the affair and have the mistress and her son killed to be sure the father wouldn't cut them in to the inheritance once the father died. The woman apparently hires men who look vaguely like her husband used to and has them run the same lines from a favorite memory of hers over and over again. | |

Obviously Evil: A subversion. Mae is so incredibly obviously shifty that Watts picks up on it immediately upon seeing her walk in. Nick, however, for some reason, is oblivious, but it's implied he's Distracted by the Sexy and can't tell everything she does is obviously a trap of some sort. | |

Mercy Kill: Watts hits Saint Joe in the lung with a bullet, dooming him to a slow and painful death by drowning in his own blood. She then shoots him in the head to make his death quick and painless. | |

Great Offscreen War | |
| Reminiscence / int_f722f635 | comment |
Great Offscreen War: Nick and Watts are veterans of an unspecified border war that happened before the film's events. We're never given many details, but it's implied that it's at least partially related to the environmental disaster. | |

Beleaguered Assistant | |
| Reminiscence / int_f792ffe4 | comment |
Beleaguered Assistant: Watts. She puts up with Nick's shit because they're old friends and partners, but it's definitely frustrating once Mae enters the picture. | |

Cyberpunk | |
| Reminiscence / int_fb01ee16 | comment |
Cyberpunk: The movie takes place in a near-future dystopia where the rich have escaped into fortified islands surrounded by dams and the poor have been left to drown in flooded regions along the coast. Technology is used as an escape from a hopeless future and the same corruption as well as greed that dominated humanity before continues to do so. | |
