What was remember me based on

Real Town Setting Explained. Charles is so impressed by this that he tells Tyler to meet him at work so he can arrange a lawyer for his estranged son. The unprecedented attacks saw terrorists fly hijacked commercial airliners into the two World Trade Centre towers, felling the buildings and killings thousands.

It is later confirmed that Tyler is dead when his grave is seen next to that of his brother. Having lost his wife, he is intensely protective of her. We meet a feckless young man named Tyler Hawkins Robert Pattinson. He slouches about trying to look like a dissipated Robert Pattinson. Drinks too much, smokes too much, has the official four-day stubble on his face, hair carefully messed up, bad attitude.

He lives in a pigpen of an apartment with a roommate named Aidan Tate Ellington , who might have been played by Oscar Levant back in the days when such roommates were obnoxious, OK, but bearable. Tyler gets drunk one night, is thrown out of a club, gets in a fight, the cops are called, and when it's almost all over, he shoves one of the cops -- Sgt. Craig, of course. Young drunks: It is extremely unwise to shove the cop who is about to let you off with a warning.

Tyler is thrown in the slammer. Not long after in school, the snaky Aidan tells Tyler that their pretty classmate Ally is the daughter of that very cop. He dares Tyler to ask her out and then dump her in revenge. Aidan is a jerk, but logically Tyler is, too, because this set-up is morally reprehensible. However, to the surprise of no one in the audience, Tyler falls for Amy and neglects to break up with her. Their courtship is a sensitive, well-acted progression through stages of mutual trust and Tyler's gradual rediscovery of his own real feelings.

There's an intriguing subplot. Tyler's parents are divorced. His father is the immensely wealthy Charles Hawkins Pierce Brosnan , whose office looks larger than small airplane terminals. Diane, his mother Lena Olin , has remarried. Tyler's beloved kid sister Caroline Ruby Jerins lives with her.

I wanted to keep that in the movie. Emilie de Ravin : "For me, it was handled so beautifully, but it was also just such a surprise to me the first time I read it. I think I've cried every time I read this script and seen this film — so I might have to walk out when we're watching it! But it's such an important part of history and I think everyone's going to have a completely different opinion because everyone has a different experience, whether they were involved or know somebody involved.

Everyone remembers exactly where they were when they heard about it. Pierce Brosnan : "Will Fetters, the writer — this young man really drew up a beautiful story about this significant, emotional time in all our history and all our life, one which the generations will reverberate from.

The movie is a simple movie, but it makes you appreciate the moment of life and time. Who was the man on the train that was looking at Ally and Tyler on the way home from the beach?

Why did Caroline's "friends" at the sleepover decide to chop all her hair off? Was the ending simply "'tacked on"? What are the differences between the rated DVD release and the original release? Create a list ». Next ones Tear Jerkers. See all related lists ». Share this page:. Clear your history.
