Because I didn't pay attention to any spoilers or background before watching this movie, so at the end of the movie, everyone's souls were comforted in turn, and Taylor really reconciled with his father in the early morning sun, standing in front of the huge glass curtain wall of the building When I first showed an expression of anticipation about the future, I finally understood why the sad music had been playing for more than a minute out of time, and why the title of the film was "Remember Me". Omg, this is the Twin Towers before 9/11, the morning it was attacked.
Therefore, two families who have lost loved ones, two families who have spent years learning to tolerate and learn to love correctly, will be brought back to the starting point by a terrorist attack. On September 11, 2001, terrorists gave them one of the most brutal endings to their story. Fortunately, they are not the ignorant and ignorant of a few years ago, this time, they will be stronger.
The atmosphere of the film is tense at the beginning, when the heroine Avery arrives on the subway when she witnesses the murder of her mother at the age of twelve. When the little girl left her cold mother in her father's arms, I was still thinking, is this a chasing documentary? Is it to tell how they will live in the future? But as soon as the camera turns, ten years have passed. She refuted the professor's question in a straight-forward manner in the university class, with an elegant attitude, gentle speech, no hostility, and only traces of being well cared for and grown up. And the male protagonist, who is listening at the university, looks decadent and emotional, but will pick up his sister from school again and again, and chat with her about philosophy, art, and society on the road full of sunshine. Comfort her sister and win her father's care for her. When Avery was in his twenties, he still needed to be careful to report to his father, and when Tyler relentlessly refuted his father, we could see the cracks everywhere in the seemingly peaceful lives of the two families.
Avery's father had a bond-like love for Avery for failing to protect his wife when she was attacked. Taylor's father indirectly caused Mike's suicide by asking Taylor's brother Mike to give up music and work for his own company. So he raced against the clock to immerse himself in work, leaving the rest of his family aside. Avery looks normal, but she never takes the subway. The little girl was more than afraid, she also blamed herself for not being able to protect her mother back then. Tyler wrote letters to his brother in a gentle tone, but he couldn't forgive his father from the bottom of his heart. He was also full of dissatisfaction with himself for not being able to intervene in his brother's suicide when he found his brother's body that year. Tyler's sister lives carefully in a hostile home, with a harmless-looking stepfather who lacks the love of her biological father.
Where is purgatory? The world is purgatory.
When our self-blame has nowhere to go, we learn to hurt ourselves.
Taylor's love is so straightforward and does not cut corners, even if he chooses violence to solve the problem in the gesture of care, he must clearly express his concern. Fortunately, while they comforted each other, and because of the gentleness of the heroine, he tried to talk to his father well. Finally, as fathers learn to spend time with their children, when Tyler sees pictures of the family on his father's computer desktop, when Avery's father accepts that his daughter has the proper freedom, when the early morning sun looks strangely warm, A family seems to be getting closer to happiness. This is redemption.
But how sad, you who learned how to love with us have to leave.
He said that if he had a chance, he would say to his brother: I love you.
A few years later, the hair of the little sister that was cut off has grown long. The sun was shining brightly in front of the tombstone.
Please remember, remember me.
Then please forgive me, forgive you who didn't protect me at that time. Because that's not what you want, because we're all specks of dust with different trajectories. Having embraced in the air is already very happy.
Then please be sure to love and live.
Because of my life that has sunk into the ground, you have to help me earn it back with happiness.

    It's just that the ending is a little deliberately sensational

Remember Me quotes

  • Tyler: Love's involved with spending time together, but spending time apart, can lead to loving even *more*.

  • Tyler: Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it. Because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says you're nowhere near ready, but the other half says: make her yours forever.
