Remember Me's One Year Anniversary - Part 1

It's hard to believe that it has been 52 weeks since Remember Me was first released in theaters. To note that occasion, we are posting some of our thoughts and images about Remember Me and, of course, why we love it!

When we were making Remember Me we all felt we were making something special. A year after its release I still believe there's something special about Remember Me. I don't think this will be a film that fades with time. Like everyone in the film business we all move on to our next projects; it's as if we nurtured this movie into existence and now it's everyone else's to either love, hate, debate, wrestle with, etc etc - it has to stand up for itself now.

But if there's just one takeaway for me, it will be the letters and emails I 've received from the parents and siblings of young men and women who died in the prime of their lives. It's humbling to know that this film connected with them in the way it did and if it helped them process the tragedies they've been through even in the smallest way then I couldn't have hoped for a better accomplishment for the film.

A poem that evokes thoughts of the film.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

~Christina Georgina Rossetti. 1830–1894

Thanks Kathy!




A wonderful piece of writing that let's us feel how it was when we first watched Remember Me.

I could hardly wait until the time to leave for the theater to see Remember Me. I remember sitting in my seat in the theater and as soon as the movie started, my heart started beating wildly. The same feeling I had as a kid when I was fortunate enough to see Elvis Presley in concert; the loud music, the beating drums before Elvis ran on stage. This was the same feeling I had when the camera zoomed in on Rob sitting on the fire escape wearing the red tee shirt. I was mesmerized by Rob throughout the entire movie and the profound grief I felt when the movie ended was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I went back to see the movie again and again until it left the theater. Remember Me is a movie I will never forget.

Thank you Jane!



Next, we have a lovely video about Tyler created by Imna. Thank you!





The next piece of beautiful artwork and writing was done by Rum from our sister site Regards Sur le Film Remember Me.

Remember Me has many facets and many moods, and is pervaded with a lot of sorrow and sadness, but for this anniversary post, I wanted to think only of the beautiful love story at the heart of it, so I've chosen a sweet, happy, carefree moment between Tyler and Ally. Today I wanted to remember Remember Me for its tenderness. Sometimes we forget it, but we must cherish every little precious moment of love in our life, because at the end of the day, love is all we have.

I loved Remember Me because it is the first movie that I can Remember that made me think of family friends and even strangers in a different light. It shows that People deal with change differently. I love the dynamic of the movie and the characters. and I cried so hard at the end. It was a wonderful and beautifully made movie. Well done all! I took the day off from work and went to see it. Twice.

Thank you chele!
