	Memento mori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Memento mori is a Latin phrase that may be freely translated as "Remember that you are mortal," "Remember you will die," or "Remember your death".
		Much memento mori art is associated with the Mexican festival, Day of the Dead, including even skull-shaped candies, and bread loaves adorned with bread "bones".
		A modern literary variation on the memento mori may be found, for instance, in the short story El inmortal ("The Immortal," from the 1949 collection El Aleph), by Jorge Luis Borges.

	Korean Movie Review \| Whispering Corridors 2: Memento Mori (1999) Min-sun Kim, Yeh-jin Park
		"Memento mori," for those who don't know, is a Latin phrase that, loosely translated, means "images of death." They can be photographs or anything left behind by the dead.
		A memento mori is meant to remind the living that death is constant, that it's a part of everyday life, and should be accepted instead of shunned or feared.
		For its first 40 minutes, "Memento Mori" is a love story about girls coming of age and finding love, passion, confusion, and withdrawal from society in favor of a special soulmate who understands you when no one else seems capable.

	Review of "Memento Mori"
		Thus to see "Memento Mori" open with the modern image of a skull--an X-ray-- hearkens back to the masters of the Renaissance, and their respect for the Grim Reaper.
		"Memento Mori" is an episode which brings our heroes face to face not with a sudden and valiant death, but with the long, slow, painful death of cancer.
		"Memento Mori" is the third story to get six out of five sunflower seeds, because it gives Dana Scully a crusade of her own, and Mulder a partner unto death.

	subway cinema \| memento mori (1999)
		The first film by two male directors, MEMENTO MORI is, ostensibly, a sequel to the high school horror hit WHISPERING CORRIDORS, but with a totally new title, new directors, and a new cast (all first-time actors).
		The main interest of the filmmakers in MEMENTO MORI is the unique sensibility of a 17 year-old who is coming-of-age.
		MEMENTO MORI is based on this intensive research focusing on a teenage girl's irresistable sensibility suppressed and hidden beneath the highhanded system of the school institutions.

		Memento Mori is an inventive horror story with a delicate touch as it deals with Min-Ah who finds a somewhat disturbing diary in her school for girls.
		Memento Mori is a film that displays the joy of film making as it tells a complex coming of age story, which offers a truly great cinematic experience.
		Memento Mori stands out so much, because it's scary, but not jump-out-your-seat-because-someone-said-boo kinda way, it's more letting your imagination run wild, wondering what on earth is happening, and what could possibly come next.

	Memento Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		That is exactly how that the protagonist of "Memento", Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce of "L.A. Confidential"), feels, only in his case, he experiences it all the time.
		"Memento", however, is perhaps the most fascinating and judicious use of a non-linear narrative, since it puts the audience into the shoes of the protagonist.
		Not surprisingly, "Memento" also holds up well in repeat viewings, since it is an intellectual puzzle that rewards the astute viewer with a foreknowledge of where the story is going.

	Official WITHERED Forum - Reviews for "Memento Mori"
		Memento Mori is the debut release of American extreme metal band Withered, in many ways evocative of the first generation nihilistic death metal acts like Unleashed, Entombed, and Dismember.
		“Memento mori”: 36 minutes for 7 tracks sounding of pure terror, anger and devastation of sounds with a death metal discharge inspired by early Entombed and to the classical Swedish metal like Dismember and Unleashed; “Memento mori” sounds a bit sludge metal also.
		Memento Mori is a disc that will not only make you forget what you know about metal, but it will also completely redefine it for you, compliments of Withered.

		The title, Memento Mori, is a Latin phrase that is commonly translated as "Remember you must die," and this has been widely used as a motif for artistic creations to remind people of their own mortality since classical antiquity.
		The original thrust of Memento Mori was "Carpe Diem", "seize the day" in Latin, which entails the advice to "Eat, drink, for tomorrow we die!" quoting from Isaiah 22:13.
		Memento Mori is a mystery novel which has a basic structure of the connection of very modern, ordinary, yet scientific instrument and unrealistic mystique.

		Shortly after, one of the lovers is found dead and it's up to Min-ah to discover whether she killed herself or whether someone murdered her; before her spirit returns to the school for revenge.
		"Memento Mori" is a wonderful movie, but it isn't an out-and-out horror flick as some have suggested.
		Basically, "Memento Mori" is excellent from start to finish and seamlessly blends horror, suspense and romance to create a truly unforgettable feature.

	Memento Mori (1999)
		An exploration into the deep recesses of emerging sexuality, and a frank look at the cruelty sometimes manifested by confused teenagers, MEMENTO MORI masquerades as a horror film for the Korean censors and as a lewd lesbian love story for the American audiences.
		MEMENTO MORI is a memorable film due to the stylish execution by the two directors (their first feature!), the captivating story, and the excellent performances by the cast, all first-timers.
		It is hardly an exaggeration to say that Park Yeh-jin, who portrayed the aching Hyo-shin, carries much of the film by her superb acting in the relatively few scenes allotted to her.

	Independent Weekly: Film: Features/ Reviews: Memento Mori
		When I saw Memento, I happened to sit next to a young critic who'd caught it first at a film festival months before and was so entranced that he'd seen it three times since.
		Memento is defined far more by those qualities than by its ingenious time structure: It's a contemporary film noir, with a full portion of that genre's existential anguish and mental disarray.
		In the final analysis, Memento doesn't leap beyond the genre's boundaries in the ways that it sometimes seems it might; it's content to stay between the lines, which gives it a bit of the air of a brilliant formalist exercise, or a graduate dissertation on noirish anomie.

	What's the painting?
		This picture is an example of a memento mori: a work that aims to remind the viewer of their own mortality.
		The typical memento mori contains several gothic icons (a skull, a tome, a withered flower, a burnt-out candle, an empty hourglass) meant to symbolise the passage of time, one's life and works, and our ultimate fate.
		This is the objective of Memento: to provide somewhere to store what you know in a way that's more organised, more accessible, and at less risk of being forgotten.

		Nevertheless, the film is better served by the translation it provides, "Remember the dead", since Hyo-shin isn't about to let everyone forget about her, despite the obstacle of not being alive anymore.
		Memento Mori expertly keeps the viewer hooked, cruising with comfort and confidence between solemn but bearable art house material and Lesbian Schoolgirl Vengeance From Beyond The Grave.
		"Memento Mori" (which means "remember the dead" in Latin) mostly takes place in an all-female campus, which appears to be a private High School (no grades or info is suggested in the movie, but the students appear to be 17-18 years of age).

	Memento Mori
		Like A Tale of Two Sisters, Memento Mori is a marvel of film craft.
		The film as a whole understands that the horror idiom is a powerful mirror for all sorts of psychological states, and in the end, it IS successful in communicating those states.
		Memento Mori diverges from the usual function of the horror movie in so far as it isn't trying to instill fear and revulsion in the audience (although it instills both of these emotions at select points during its running time).

		Memento Mori tells about death, about the death of a friend of the filmmaker's.
		Most paradoxical however -- Memento Mori is one of the few films, in which cinematic images do not erase life with stereotypes but let life live on, somewhere else, outside the screen.
		In this context, the final image of Memento Mori is one of the most haunting and beautiful we experienced.

	[KFCC] Memento Mori Review
		But the really sad thing about "Memento Mori" is apparently there are a lot of scenes missing from the movie.
		As for Shi-Eun, her girlfriend, and Min-Ah, the girl who discovers the diary, they were both excellent, the emotions and feeling are very well delivered for the audience to comprehend and relate to.
		"Memento Mori" is a very hard movie to categorize, since you have a lot of drama but also some very creepy scenes in it.

	Memento Mori / Yeogo Goedam 2
		Following the box-office success of the South Korean school ghost-story Whispering Corridors (known as Yeogo Goedam in Korea), a follow-up was released in 1999, entitled Memento Mori (aka Yeogo Goedam 2, or Whispering Corridors 2).
		However, fans of the original were sure to have been disappointed, as Memento Mori unfortunately seems to be not so much a sequel but an entirely different film altogether.
		In summary, my problem with Memento Mori is that too many issues are being handled at once: the love story suffers from being almost completely abandoned the moment the curse action kicks in, and the horror is muted by the romantic aspects the directors have tried to work in with it.

		What makes "Memento Mori" unusual, at least in Korea, is its theme: it's a story about lesbianism.
		'Memento Mori' is a more sensitive and emotionally complex film than the former titles, although that's not to say it is lacking in some genuinely shocking moments.
		'Memento Mori' takes some commitment to watch as it is slow to start, but stick with it and once it's over, you'll be left with the same thought-provoking feeling that these films bring out so well.
