Re: Memento

Yeah, I think the popular understanding is that the rape happened but she survived. What follows is the story he tells of Sammy Jankis. Shelby's wife is the one who was diabetic. And he was the one who accidentally killed her through overdose. And then because he couldn't accept that as reality/keeps forgetting anyway, he created his own mental reality in which his wife died in the attack thereby placing the guilt on the rapist/not him.

There's also a shot of Sammy Jankis sitting in a mental clinic at one point and when a doctor passes by, the character switches to the Shelby really briefly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MUnDhxAif0

So is this just a popular understanding, or has Nolan confirmed?

Nolan confirmed in the commentary that the conversation between Teddy and Shelby that happens at the end of the film, in which Teddy reveals to Shelby that Sammy Jankis' story is Shelby's story and that Shelby has already killed his wife's rapist, is accurate.
