Memorable, crazy movie

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

SPOILER ALERT: This film features the 9/11 tragedy in a very heart-wrenching way in the end.I find it odd that most reviewers see this as grounds for the production of a bad film. 9/11 happened, and yes, it was horrible, but that doesn't mean that the subject is not untouchable. If we can make films like Stephen King's 'Apt Pupil' about the holocaust and Nazis, why is 9/11 being featured in a film offensive? I thought that 'Remember Me' handled the subject quite well and accurately all things considered. There were no 9/11 jokes, no stupid conspiracy theory subplots and nothing silly that would deem it inappropriate. If you're disturbed by the subject of 9/11, simply don't watch the film. Personally, I think that as sad as 9/11 was, we still need to remember and focus less on why it happened, and more on the people affected by it.I know that Robert Patterson has a bad rep from his days as teenage vampire heartthrob Edward Cullen in the over-dramatic 'Twilight' franchise, but he really redeems himself in this role. The film paints an often disturbing depiction of a 1990's New York, but at its heart this film is really about the meaning of love and why it's important to live life to the fullest. Everything about it was very well-done, from the soundtrack score to the cinematography, and while it isn't a perfect film, it is definitely a great one, especially in this day and age of lousy remakes and that superhero crap.

I did not expect that much from this one, but was fortunately proved wrong. Great film, some great quotes. Explores loss, death, the different ways each of us deals with it; how it can manifest itself in many different ways. It reminds me to "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." The change and redemption seen in the characters by the film conclusion brought some tears to my eyes (namely, Allyson riding the Metro for the first time since her mother's murder, Aidan's "Tyler" tattoo, á la Tyler's "Michael" tattoo, the always unavailable father finally taking an interest in Caroline's life).It was a little maudlin at times, but I do not agree with others that feel it was overdone overall. The only acting I found excessive was Cooper, playing Allyson's father. Pattinson and de Ravin had respectable performances. Even Ellington as the roommate was a fun character. The most beloved character was actually Tyler's little sister Caroline. She was perfect as an adorable, precocious young girl with deeper psychological layers. I loved this film. Until the last ten minutes. Supposedly, "The ending was not tacked on. The screenwriter began the script with every intention of the ending. He was inspired to write the story after reading 9/11 obituaries. There are hints throughout the film that subtly insinuate this." Well, it sure seemed like it. Leave those last ten minutes on the cutting room floor and I would have given this an 8/10, maybe even a 9/10. As is? A 6/10. I supposed the best solution is to take the average of the two.

A romantic drama centered on two new lovers: Tyler, whose parents have split in the wake of his brother's suicide, and Ally, who lives each day to the fullest since witnessing her mother's murder. I loved Remember Me i found it to be really good both in terms of a romantic film and a dramatic film and i loved the relationship between Tyler and Ally their both broken souls in New York and they try to fix their wounds but also Pierce Brosnan as Charles was another great thing about the film and his relationship with his son Tyler played by Pattinson and Ruby Jerins as Caroline his younger sister. As for the ending i didn't mind it and i felt it was extremely shocking and it gave the film even more drama and it worked perfectly because of good characters and acting that really pays off in the end.

In 1991, Ally Craig and her mother are confronted by two teenage robbers in a deserted Brooklyn subway stop. Her mother is shot dead and she's left with only her police detective father Neil (Chris Cooper). Ten years later, Tyler Keats Hawkins (Robert Pattinson) is a self-destructive college kid. His friend Aidan Hall drags him out to party and they get into a fight. Neil is their arresting officer. Later, Aidan discovers Neil's daughter Ally (Emilie de Ravin) and he convinces Tyler to break her heart. Tyler hates his businessman father Charles (Pierce Brosnan) who is divorced from his mother Diane Hirsch (Lena Olin). His sister Caroline is a child artist but she gets picked on at school. The family is estranged after the oldest son's suicide.Pattinson is good as tortured soul leading man and Emilie de Ravin is a beautiful heroine. The two of them work great as a romantic team. I wanted to punch his best friend in the face every time he opens his really annoying mouth. The big concept in this movie is the shock reveal in the end. While there has been enough time past, it is still too awkward to have that incident used as a plot device. Maybe in another 50 years, this would be acceptable but it does feel wrong right now.
