Remember Me (film): Difference between revisions

 

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.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Allie's father Neil seems like a sensible enough man but don't you dare mention his wife. And in Tyler's case, don't ever harm Caroline.

* [[Book Ends]]: The film opens and ends with Allie in the subway.

* [[Brick Joke]]: Aidan brags about having slept with a girl of every ethnicity. Allie asks about an eskimo and he responds that there is a certain girl who works at the library. The focus then switches to Tyler arriving home to find {{spoiler|Allie's father waiting for him}}. After that big scene is over, Allie arrives home saying she'd just been at the library speaking with the girl in question.

* [[Call Back]]: At the very end of the film {{spoiler|Allie rides on the subway for the first time since her mother's murder, to show she's moving on}}.

* [[Cerebus Callback]]: Inverted. Early on in the movie Tyler is bailed out of jail by his father in a sombre scene. The second time it happens, much later in the story, it's a humorous scene with Charles and Tyler laughing about it.

* [[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.

* [[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.
