Shocking Ending

"For whatever reason, it seems that it's rare now that a movie completely shocks or blows me away with a twist in the story. Maybe I'm just old enough and have seen enough movies that the stories aren't as "new" to me. Maybe it's the writing in current movies, i.e. it's not very creative but more "reality" based. All I know is that Remember Me (2010) blew me away with its twist ending when I saw it recently on DVD from Redbox. I'm surprised I didn't see it coming, because now, looking back on it, it seems like the clues were there all along. I'm not going to give away the ending, because that's what elevates this movie from average (2.5 to 3.0 stars) to good (3.5 stars out of 5) in my opinion. It's exciting to see a movie completely elevate its emotional connection so powerfully and abruptly in just a few minutes at the end. That's what Director Allen Coulter did with this story from fresh new screenwriter Will Fetters. And the timing and relevance of the story feels just right.

It's kind of hard for me to even talk about the movie without giving away the ending, so I'll simply say that the first 3/4 of the movie is decent, even though it lingers a little and feels like it's going nowhere at times. But the ending makes it all worth it. In today's wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am culture, I know it's hard for classic movie foreplay to appeal to people. I try to give a movie or tv show a chance to build up and pay off, but sometimes even I can't wait too long. We've all gotten so accustomed to quick emotional or technological payoffs that we are like crack addicts waiting for the hit. I'm not sure that Robert Pattinson was the right choice for the lead character Tyler, but the movie is good despite him. Pattinson seems a little too dramatic and over the top in his acting, but he's not bad either. I can't say I'm a fan of his work since I haven't seen any of the Twilight movies or anything else he's done. His role in Remember Me might have been better in the hands of another actor, but I can't think of who at this point. I just know he won't be receiving any Oscar nominations for this movie. But it was a step in the right direction for his career. Maybe with a second viewing I'll feel differently about him.

Like so many recent movies I've seen, I can't help but notice the high quality of the production design and photography. Both are top notch, even thought they don't jump out at you. That's the beauty sometimes of great design and photography...they don't call attention to themselves because you just immerse yourself in the movie and its story. The production design make the crappy apartment that Tyler lives in seem "real" and believable within New York City. It adds to the emotional feelings within the movie, showing the contrasts between the good and the bad in the city and life. There's a great supporting cast of actors, including Chris Cooper, Pierce Brosnan, and Lena Olin. Pattinson's love interest Ally is played by Emilie de Ravin of Lost fame, and she is just like Pattinson...neither great nor bad, but par for the course. I definitely recommend watching Remember Me...all the way through to the end."

"Remember Me starring Robert Pattison and Emilie de Ravin is a beautiful and unexpected tearjerker of a film. I can't get this gorgeous romantic drama out of my head! Pattison really surprised me with his honest and very real performance of Tyler, a troubled College student who finds love with a girl who has also has a troubled past. This film is beautifully written and acted. I highly recommend Remember Me, enjoy!"

Review of Remember Me

"In 2010 the movie Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin was released. The movie was about a troubled college kid, named Tyler (Pattinson) who got in trouble and then wanted to get back at the policeman, so he started dating his daughter, Ally (Ravin). They soon fell in love but their relationship was always changing because of Ally's dad and Tyler's past. In this emotional and dramatic movie, Robert Pattinson was a pleasant actor to watch, the relationship between Tyler (Pattinson) and Ally (Ravin) was never boring, but the ending was unexpected and sad.

The movie Remember Me was Robert Pattinson's first movie since he did the Twilight series. Many said that Pattinson wasn't a very good actor in the Twilight series; therefore it was debated whether he was going to be able to pull off his leading role in Remember Me. I thought that his acting was going to be bad in the movie, but he really did a great job with his very emotional character. In some of the scenes he showed his emotion so well in his body and face, that I couldn't even tell he was acting. Towards the end of the movie when he was fighting with his dad, his emotion was so well played in his face and body language that I could hardly tell he was acting.

Because Pattinson's acting was surprisingly good, the relationship, in the movie, between Tyler (Pattinson) and Ally (Ravin) was never boring. Their relationship started out a little awkward, but then progressed into a deep love and appreciation for each other. In one scene as Tyler changed his shirt, Ally notices that he has a tattoo that says "Michael" and asks what it means. Tyler then tells her that it is the name of his brother who committed suicide and she falls deeper in love with him. It shows that Tyler loves his family more than anything and that he was willing to sacrifice a part of his body to show this love. This causes Ally to connect with him on a deeper level because her mom was murdered when she was 11. In another part of the movie Ally's dad hits her and she runs away to Tyler's apartment, where Tyler gives her sympathy and compassion. Towards the end of the movie Tyler tells Ally about how he started dating her because of the bet he and his friend made at the beginning of the movie. When Tyler tells her about it she gets angry and leaves. When Ally finds out that she is part of a bet she leaves and tries to forget about Tyler. Then Tyler's friend, who made the bet with him, goes and tells Ally that Tyler really does love her. Ally then goes back to Tyler and they talk about it and they get back together.

The ending of the movie was unexpected and sad. Just when things are getting right again with Tyler and Ally, a tragedy happens. The final scene opens in the morning with dramatic music and Tyler leaving and Ally and Tyler exchange "I love you's." Tyler is going to his dad's office to meet with lawyers because he vandalized a school. It then cuts to the school where his sister attends and the chalkboard says "September 11, 2001." The viewers instantly make the connection between the date and the event that is about to happen. The scene then cuts to Tyler standing in the window of his father's office and when the camera zooms out you see that he is in one of the Twin Towers. Then the scene is almost in slow motion as people are running away from the towers and his dad and mom are so awed by what had just happened. The last scene of the entire movie is his family at his grave, saying their goodbyes.

When I first watched the movie I was so angry that this was the ending and I wanted for Tyler to just come back to life and for things to be better again. When the scene cuts to the chalkboard the viewer immediately remembers where they were and what was going on when the hijacked planes hit the towers. Overall the movie Remember Me was a great movie to watch because Robert Pattinson was a pleasant actor to watch, the relationship between Tyler and Ally was never boring, and the ending was unexpected and sad. I would defiantly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good chick flick and have a good cry.
