Plots(1)
In the romantic drama Remember Me, Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart. Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one’s life.

A Fast and hard-hitting conversational drama with quite decent emotions, an average duo of young actors, and a fantastic Pierce Brosnan in one of his typical roles. The ending was supposed to be cathartic, but I was rather left in astonishment. Right? Wrong? Hard to say. And that's where I see this film’s biggest problem. Somehow it's not clear what it actually wants to tell us. Some are appalled by it, some throw it under the bus. It's up to you.

I hesitated between three and four stars throughout the film because, contrary to my expectations, I didn’t feel it was a silly romance. Pattinson was bearable and Emilie is likeable already when you look at her, but then came the ending, which ruined the whole film. That’s not a shocking twist or a surprise, that’s a situation they pulled out of their asses that lacks any logical connection to the previous events. Yeah, sure, something like that can happen, but why put it in a film that wasn’t leading to such an outcome? When I think about it, the whole film is full of unnecessary tragic events that have only one goal: the viewer’s tears. But most of them aren’t even that unexpected and could have been avoided – too much is too much.

Every family has its problems, every youth has its problems and it is necessary to deal with them somehow. Some storylines in the movie are not very credible. For example, the reason why Pattinson's character starts dating Ally (Emilie de Ravin) is quite banal, unnecessary even, but it is necessary for a twist in the story, which is even less believable. In this regard, it doesn't fit together very well. Pierce Brosnan's character is quite unpleasant, but he has his reasons. However, what is most important in the movie is the ending. It is a complete somersault in what you have been watching so far. The film gets a new, deeper meaning. On one hand, it is terribly simple, but on the other hand, it is still powerful. The only thing that disappoints is the fact that it is not based on a true story. If it were, its impact would be even stronger than in this case.

Remember Me is an extremely bland film with thoroughly botched-up character psychology. It is a relationship drama in which the only convincing relationship is the one that is least important for the story (Pattinson and his friend). It’s as if someone was trying to tell Beverly Hills 90210 fans that life can be really hard. The surprising ending is a great idea, which is completely wasted here, however.

I can't even say half a word about the cast. In fact, that's what I liked most of all. Robert Pattinson broke away from Twilight, Emilie de Ravin was better than in Lost, and Pierce Brosnan didn't remind me of James Bond at all. Still, I'm a little disappointed with the script, which I was expecting a lot from. In less than two hours, nothing great actually happened. Yes, the ending was great, but it didn't save the previous 100 minutes. That's why I’m rating this as a slightly above average drama (3.5 stars) and I hope Pattinson cuts something better next time.
