Director Allen Coulter, who created the series The Clan of Soprano, Rome, and dozens of Sex and the City series, presented a real gift to the army of Robert Pattinson fans. His next project - the nostalgic melodrama "Remember Me" (actors: R. Pattinson, Emily de Ravin, C. Cooper, P. Brosnan, R. Jerins) - will make even the most skeptical viewer imbued with the experiences of the main characters.
Plot
The film “Remember Me” (2010) has a plot devoid of innovative innovations in general, which is not surprising, since in the entire history of the film industry many authors have contributed to the multi-component definition of the romantic genre. Parents of the protagonist Tyler Hawkins (actor R. Pattinson) divorced after his older brother made a successful suicide attempt. The guy could not come to terms with the suicide of his brother. He still writes letters to him in his personal diary, smokes, shamelessly drinks and in every possible way demonstrates his fundamental unwillingness to be the heir to his father’s business empire.
Once in a dispute, a guy meets a cute girl Ellie (actress Emily de Ravin). The girl, after 11 years old witnessed the murder of her own mother, grew up in Queens under the strict supervision of her father, a police officer. The main characters meet only because Tyler gets involved in a drunken brawl, and his arrest is carried out by Ally's father. Aidan, the protagonist’s best friend, offers to charm Ally and through her influence the guardian father. But the affair turns into a real sincere feeling. But, as always, lovers have a lot of obstacles on the way to longed for happiness. It cannot be otherwise, this is the whole intrigue of the film Remember Me. Actors who played the roles of the main characters worked together with sophisticated masters of cinema experience. This allowed them to fully reveal the characteristics of their heroes.
The atmosphere of films
The film "Remember Me", the actors and roles of which were selected each other during the casting, personally by producer Carol Cuddy, was shot according to the debut script of playwright Will Fetters. The novice screenwriter wrote something more than the usual story of a romantic relationship between young people. With cautious, barely noticeable strokes, he added philosophical arguments to the love story about why and how to live, and gave the viewer an extremely unexpected climax.
Such a stunning finale as if sums up the reflective experiences of the watchers. The atmosphere of the picture Remember Me (the actors in the project are mostly young) ideally corresponds to the gloomy worldview of young people, prone to suicidal behavior and obsessed with youthful maximalism. Each frame of the picture is created with an accurate calculation for the target audience. For the most part, the participation in the project of Robert Pattinson, which young people have unlimited faith in, helped create a visual series that is understandable and congenial to teenagers.
Main character
For the star of the Twilight Saga, Tyler’s image was the first serious role. However, the character is not significantly different from his previous heroes, the actor again embodies the noble guy with oddities on the screen. This is not to say that Robert went the easy way and appeared before the viewer in fact the same famous Edward, only without the infernal flare and fangs. His hero is either depressing with pumped emotionality, sometimes fooling around and having fun, mocking others.
The role itself is spelled out by the authors precisely so that the viewer has as many opportunities as possible to pity the main character. Pattinson gives all the best, and the result of his efforts exceeds all expectations. The actor is gradually getting rid of the image of a sad handsome man, into whose framework Twilight oppressed him. According to the forecasts of film critics, serious dramatic roles should be expected from him in the near future, and the film “Remember Me” became the start for the development of a new round in his acting career. The actors who worked with Pattinson on this project predict a brilliant serious film career for him.
Acting Ensemble
Pattinson's partner in the film was Emily de Ravin - the star of the TV series Lost. The girl manages to perfectly dilute the gloom of the protagonist. The actress has created a unique image that sets the whole story in a bright and slightly mocking tone. Without her, the movie Remember Me would have been too gloomy. The actors, whose reviews of the game are written exclusively in a positive way, are the real movie masters Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan, who played the roles of fathers of the main characters. Their acting is a reference standard. Chris Cooper played the favorite character of a fierce law enforcement officer impressive, but smooth. Unlike him, Pierce once again managed to impress the viewer with a perceptible change in his character: at the beginning of the narrative, his hero appears to be fanciful and cold, but then begins to thaw, and in the finale, completely radiate heat.
Final twist
The melodrama Remember Me is one of those rare films, like The Sixth Sense or The Other, in which the final twist completely changes all the accents placed before. Moreover, the director in a creative union with the screenwriter makes the situation even more critical. The last minutes of timing, with an alarming emotional soundtrack from Marcelo Zarvos and tragic rapids, revolutionize the perception of the picture radically, knocking the viewer out from under his feet.
