... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreGreetings from Lithuania."Remember Me" (2010) was a a very pleasant surprise for me. I was involved in a movie from first minutes till the very last end. I cared for the characters, it all (almost) was plausible and believable. This is one of the best romantic movies around. Performances were uniformly good from all. Script was good - very involving. Directing was solid - at running time 1 h 50 min this movie didn't drag for a second and the ending was very good and moving. Overall, "Remember Me" is kinda "in your face Nicolas Sparks" romance movie. It has much realistic and plausible situations, realistic and not cheeze romance and some "twist" (if you can call it that) at the end that wasn't manipulative. This a very good movie to all tastes.
... View MoreBeing an incorrigible romantic girl and my friends and I having a crush on the very cute Robert Pattinson, we commonly decided to watch Remember me between girls.I like Robert Pattinson I loved him on Harry Potter and Twilight even if the movies were far from being masterpieces. But Robert has this kind of magnetism each time we see his face. In Remember Me, I have to say he blew me away. He is like a wild spirit and a lost soul who is still grieving his late brother who took his own life several years ago. He is far from the teenager we are used to see him play. Here he has a darker side, he smokes and drinks a lot, had a lot of anger within himself and like I said he is pretty wild. Because of that, I cant stop myself thinking of James Dean. I see a lot of him in Robert Pattinson at least in this movie: the same grace, the same wilderness. He is raw and so touching. And he is so protective of her sister and her girlfriend.Talking about the girlfriend, Emilie de Ravin is also very graceful and touching. The couple she makes with Robert is soft and raw in the same time. There is a real chemistry between the two actors and we can feel it throughout the movie. In the story both have witnessed the terrible trauma of seeing someone they cherished deeply brutally passing away which still haunts them. This makes this couple even more attaching and touching because we could take it as destiny uniting them to better face their mourning.This made the movie ending even more tragic and terrible. I didn't expect that at any moment. It took me completely by surprise and me and my friends ending up crying like babies. Life is cruel very cruel. They deserved so much better than death tearing them apart again. Seeing Robert in the World trade Center on September 11, 2001 with his last words as saying goodbye and mostly to never forget the beautiful moments they shared together is so heartbreaking.God what a beautiful movie.
