just watched Remember Me for the first time tonight. Going in, I vaguely knew what to expect. I knew what the ending was about, but not who died or what the circumstances were. It was an emotional and powerful film, but a lot of people have criticized the ending as being extraneous and offensive . No one can answer that question, and as uncouth as this sounds - it is what it is, and it is a well made film. Anyway, I just assume a movie with a similar plot to this one was eventually going to be made (how could it not?), and that I'm grateful Remember Me was the first one to do it.
II thought Remember Me brought more than just the controversial emotional ending to the table. All of the sub-plot were emotional evoking and show that it shouldn't just be huge tragedies that unite us, but that we all suffer the same from our personal losses. That the loss of one family member can be even more difficult than a huge tragedy because there are fewer people to empathize with you - or even care enough, to provide support or get over their reservations.
It is probably just a personal experience, but Remember Me reminded me that I'm not the only one that's damaged or lost, but that most people in this world have suffered as much.
