I don't write reviews, but this film compelled me to write something about it.For me, a film should be realistic, heartfelt and not confusing wondering 'what was that' feeling. 'Remember me' was so close to realism. Though the first scene of the film showing Ally's mother being murdered was not necessary for the film - giving it a sort of crime scene movie - the rest was superb.This film falls under the genre of Drama, Romance, but I feel it has something more than that.All the leading character acting was very good. Though in reality a vibrant girl as Ally would not fall for a 'sleepy looking' guy as Tyler, their chemistry and acting was good. The emotions Tyler emits when angry, happy, and sad are realistic.The film depicts a story which can happen to anybody. That is why it is so realistic unlike some films you see.To tell you the truth, I did not understand the ending at first and thought 'what is this?, Did Tyler commit suicide by jumping? Why? Then after some reading only found out the real ending which made me shed tears. I played the video several times to the point where the teacher writes the date of disaster on blackboard and watched it again and again, and each time it was so emotional. I did not like Tyler's friend in the beginning, but at the end with him with Tyler's name tattoo on his arm was 'very moving'.A must watch film for anybody who loves a realistic one.

I just watched this movie. Has no one actually written an IMDb review for this movie in almost seven years?SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERTI came to IMDb looking for some particular kinds of reviews for Remember Me, that cover the end of the movie from a certain angle. I didn't find any, though I only looked through a dozen or so reviews. So instead I'll just write up my own thoughts and questions, and possible answers for those questions.At the end of Remember Me, Robert Pattinson's character, Tyler, is killed, happening to be up in one of the Twin Towers on September 11th. Being a writer myself, I think that's a very interested choice to make for how to end your movie. Was it just tacked on, I wonder? Many people seemed to think so--that the whole point of Remember Me was to get people to remember September 11th, but handled in a very clumsy manner.Certainly I think that most of the negative reviews Remember Me received were exactly because of that ending. It felt tacked on. It didn't seem to have any real bearing on the rest of story, didn't flow naturally from the other elements. Possibly, it was just a way for the movie to jerk even more tears from its audience, an overly transparent and tasteless way; others actually liked it.But what I'm kind of wondering to myself is, "Just how tacked on was that ending," really? Now, first of all, if this story was actually based on a true story, I could understand the ending. But I don't recall there being anything to indicate that, at all--no final scrawl saying this character went on to do this, this character went on to do that. So I'm pretty sure it was an arbitrary decision by the screenwriter.But what if the character had merely died in, say, a car crash? Would the ending still have been tacked on? No, I don't think so. If that had been the case, people might look at the movie a little differently: "This character lost his brother to suicide a few years ago. Alyssa lost her mother ten years ago. Both families have been wrecked by these incidents. But now, somehow, after all these years . .. things have finally started to come together for them. Tyler and Alyssa have gotten together, and after some rocky times their lives are looking up. And Tyler's sister and his father have started to mend their relationship. Everything looks like it's about to start to be good for these characters--but no. The Greek gods, or fate, or destiny, has something else planned for them." And instead of deus ex machina, it's more like diablo ex machina. I'm reminded of City of Angels, just when Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage seemed to have found their happy ending. I was always angry at that ending.I think that Remember Me may deserve a second look. Removing Tyler from the story through September 11th does seem tacked-on, a way to keep September 11th in our memories even more. One way or another, it does feel like a mistake.But I have to wonder, then--at risk of letting this review descend into even greater insignificance than it already has: just why would the writer decide to use September 11th? Was there something about the events of that date that made it that much more significant for the writer than it already is for the average American? Did the writer actually know someone that died in September 11th? Or someone that died around the same time as September 11th? I can't help but feeling there was an important story trying to be told in Remember Me, almost something like Prometheus or Icarus--of characters cursed by the gods, fate, or happenstance.And yet, in choosing to tie it all together with the seemingly very arbitrary choice of September 11th, it undermined the message. If someone did somehow consider September 11th integral to the story, to their own personal story perhaps, I would have liked to see more of THAT story. And if not--if the central purpose of the whole story was just to remind people of September 11th . . . then I'd say it failed badly, and if Remember Me is remembered, it will ultimately be for the fact that its ending had so little to do with the rest of the movie.

There is no question that the movie captures the theme that "The mass of men and women lead lives of quiet explor5ation:". The acting and drama capture the immense frustration and hurt that is carried around in almost every heart in the story. Though you may not want to hear it the show misses' reality by leaving out God and Addiction. No one takes God as a serious reality in this movie and therefore you end up in a depressing French category. The writer nor the show the "security, sensation and power" are the three categories that people of our time look for happiness and though they know it won't work they repeat the same old set of depressing choices. The old man lawyer doesn't know how to love and his so called awakening is unrealistic. two lovers look for sensation in sex and alcohol and miss each other completely and the father cop is likewise caught up in resentment and power.I pray for all those who get captured by the fake and depressing tone, substance and texture of this very sad movie.

One of the best movies I have ever seen, the acting is on point by all of the cast. Robert Pattinson portrays Tyler beautifully, he omits the emotions in ways no other actor could, specifically relating to Tyler and his father's relationship. The plot was laid out in a meticulous way that was gripping for the audience, especially the ending. I'm sure every viewer of the movie agrees that the plot turns in a way no one expects, and that captures the audience due to how the story line was built up. The dramatized scenes were never too over the top, they were rather engaging and emotion provoking. In addition, Ruby Jerins was excellent in her performance.
