Remember Me powerful film
Remember Me (2010)
Remember Me is nothing like what you'd expect from only viewing the trailers. The love story is as passionate and complex as the characters themselves. Tyler (Robert Pattinson) and Ally (Emilie de Ravin) are wonderful in this film as college students in New York City both covering up tragic pasts. Director Allen Coulter brings the beautiful story alive and allows the audience to understand the characters in the film on a personal level. He achieves this through insights into their thoughts and habits and clear explanations for why they are the way they are.
The heartbreaking opening scene sets the mood for the story that takes place in the summer of 2001. Through a twist of fate Tyler, the independent and rebellious twenty-something crosses paths with Ally, a girl who lives each day to the fullest since witnessing her mother's murder. As the plot progresses it becomes evident that the circumstances that brought the two together could also tear them apart.
Set in a hot New York City, Pattinson brings a whole new character to the screen beyond what he is recognized for in Twilight. His talent is unmistakable and he really embodied Tyler Hawkins. Pierce Brosnan also does an incredible job as Tyler's father Charles. He comes across as an unloving man who has become a misunderstood and disconnected father after the sudden death of his oldest son Michael.
The story is touching, current, and proves that the only way to live is to live in the moment. If you take nothing for granted and live each and every day like it could be your last, then in the end you'll look back with no regrets.
Coulter puts great emphasis on the spectacular little moments in a relationship that can easily be forgotten. It is these moments that make life special and in these moments where you can learn the most about a person. Remember Me is most definitely worth the price of admission and I can only hope that the fact Pattinson is in it does not deter anyone from seeing the film. It is completely different than anything he has done and the cast as a whole wonderfully depicts a story full of pain, love, and life.
