'''''Remember Me''''' is a 2010 drama film starring [[Robert Pattinson]], [[Pierce Brosnan]] and Emilie de Ravin. It follows the lives of two families in New York city. Tyler (Pattinson) is a typical screw up young college student who only seems to care about his little sister Caroline as his home life is fairly screwed up since his parents are divorced and the father (Brosnan) has remained distant ever since the eldest brother killed himself. Tyler meets Allie (De Ravin) who has issues of her own, her mother being murdered on the subway in front of her when she was eleven and her father being an overprotective fireman.
The film is mostly remembered for its controversial ending which some found offensive but many people have spoken up in favor of it, saying it was handled in a very classy way. And to those who feel it was tacked on, the event itself actually inspired the film.
{{tropelist}}
* [[All There Is to Know About "The Crying Game"]]: Yes this is the movie that has {{spoiler|9/11 as a twist ending}}. What's the actual plot though?
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
* [[Girl Posse]]: Eleven-year-old versions of them.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: The girls who bully Caroline aren't punished because the incident didn't happen on school property. So Tyler steps in. Half of it happens off-screen but the girls who bullied Caroline get their just desserts from Tyler and Charles. Tyler grabs one of the girl's desks off the floor, flings it at the wall and then throws it back in front of her before throwing a fire extinguisher through the classroom door. It's then revealed that Charles has pulled some strings so that the school can't press charges against Tyler or else he'll do the same for what happened to Caroline. And he's also threatened to sue all of the girls' parents unless they all immediately transfer to other schools.
* [[Jerk
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Caroline, with her hair cut off, has to be brought into school by Tyler because she's so shaken. One of the other girls sarcastically remarks "I like your hair".
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Allie is a more realistic version of the trope, while displaying a few of the characteristics such as eating desert at the start of a meal just in case she dies before she gets to have it, she has issues of her own with her father. And in a variation of the typical plot, Tyler actually seeks her out first.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Traumatic Haircut]]: Caroline goes to a slumber party with girls from school and the next time we see her a huge chunk of her hair has been cut off.
* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: A viewer can easily see the twist coming by just simply doing the math in the time skip.
* [[Wham! Line]]: The teacher casually writing the date on the blackboard: {{spoiler|September 11th, 2001}}.
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]: Allie. Justified though since summers get very hot in New York.
* [[Why Did You Make Me Hit You?]]: Neil strikes Allie in a moment of rage when she taunts him about her mother.
* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: Even though the little girls traumatized Caroline, Tyler doesn't physically hit them -- he just settles for scaring them shitless instead.
