Remember Me
Three out of the four people in my group cried seeing this movie. Not me. My eyes were dry. And I'm a crier. I cry at some commercials. Don't get me wrong. I loved the movie. I loved the character development. But near the end, when the heavy drama hit and my friends were crying (bring tissue next time, FGS! Don't be using the sleeve my MY new motorcycle jacket), I was angry. I felt the film makers were too abrupt. In my head I think, "You can't make this movie this way. Find a gentler way to bring it to the audience." Besides that one part, it was a good movie. A young man is confused and lost in his life. He loves his family though. When his little sister gets bullied, he escorts her back to school. When her bully torments the sister in front of him, he tears a fire extinguisher off the wall and throws it though a window into the hallway. That was not a wise decision but he did stand up for his little sister by making it clear that bullying is not right. He means well. I got to like him for that. I recommend you see it. Bring tissue.
