Remember Me's Message - Remember the Fallen

Bin Laden is dead. We remember the Lost Loved Ones.

-jessegirl- May 27, 2011

Anderson Cooper360, on May 3, 2011, released a message from the newscaster, which essentially went back to the idea of remembering. Bin Laden’s crimes should be remembered but his name should not be. It is the names of the 3000 fallen that should be remembered. Hearing his newscast prompted me to this place again and I will quote below, as accurately as I can:

“It’s a relief to know he’s gone...Someday...cannot give Bin Laden the satisfaction of speaking his name... “I keep thinking of him now buried at sea, wrapped in a white cloth in a weighted bag, slid into the icy ocean...think of his body sinking into the sea, disappearing into the dark depths of the oceans...this man who terrorized so many for so long has simply disappeared. The ocean is a very big place and in the end Osama Bin Laden was a very small man. There will be no grave marker for him, no place for fanatical followers to come and pay their twisted respect. He is gone. We cannot forget or should we ever forget the horrors that this man unleashed but as the months and years pass, I hope that his name is hardly ever uttered. I hope his picture disappears as well... I hope it’s not the wasted life of this mass murderer we remember; I hope instead we recall the lives of those we’ve lost. I hope we remember Leon Smith Jr. (firefighter)... In the years ahead I hope it’s their names we speak, not Bin Laden’s. I hope it’s how they lived their lives we remember...I hope we remember all they did and all that they never lived to do.”

Anderson Cooper360, on May 3, 2011

(On AC360.com you can learn about those who died.)

The unfortunate thing is, we cannot remember the 3000 names. We do not remember the names of the victims of 9/11, of other massacres, whether large or small. We do remember the names of the perpetrators. I will not list any here. We know them. But we do not, nor can we memorize or know those whose lives were lost, who, in this, were innocent. That is just the way memory works. There are too many.

It is ironic that after Anderson Cooper made that statement, subsequent coverage on his show and other CNN shows covered Bin Laden and his demise in great detail from all angles, the murderer’s name repeated over and over. Should the picture of the dead terrorist be released, or not? What role did Pakistan have? How would the terrorist network continue? And so on. The focus was still on Bin Laden.

But the paragraphs I quoted reminded me that it has come full circle. It has brought back, for me, Will Fetters’ idea, the original inspiration for writing the script of the 2010 film Remember Me. To remember the fallen, through the story of one such imagined life, Tyler’s. Remember Me was never about Bin Laden or his terrorist network. It was always about remembering the individual lives lost, imagining what their families’ lives must have been like afterwards. And that’s where the focus should be.

For Will Fetters it began with the obituaries, The Portraits of Grief, New York Times "Portraits of Grief" the mini-biographies of those who had fallen on Sept. 11, 2001. It was from those that the writer had derived inspiration for his work, originally titled, Memoirs. (Therefore those who criticize the climax of the film as being a ‘twist’, ‘tacked on’, are sadly mistaken.)

The whole point of this movie was to remember an individual life. Granted it was a fictional character’s life, but this allowed everyone to become immersed in his world and come to love him, and then, grieve for him when he was suddenly snatched away in the most shocking way. Tyler died in the center of the first firestorm when the plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center. And that gave us all a chance to grieve. That is the genius of the film Remember Me.

Some of us took that rich source of emotional catharsis and were grateful for this chance. Others, to this day, felt cheated, angry, and manipulated, which are the common reactions to shock. These responses are still dividing viewers. But they tell us more about ourselves than they do about this film. About whether we allow ourselves to feel and to be open. About how grief affects us. Tyler at the window, the climax, is the culmination of all we feel about Tyler and all we will feel at his loss. If we felt nothing for Tyler—which I find an odd response—we are bound to feel manipulated. If we came to love him—and Robert Pattinson’s nuanced, authentic performance worked to make this happen—then we were put in the imagined position that those who suffered real personal losses that day felt. There was no better way to drive the point home.

Fetters was only 22 years when he wrote the script; he was a young man who shared with his protagonist, idealism. And in Remember Me, Fetters intended to force viewers to confront the horror of 9/11 in the most personal way, the only way possible for those who did not lose loved
ones there.

As I have written in another article, Tyler Hawkins, the imagined one, is the symbol, the human face of tragedy. [Tyler in Remember Me: the Human Face of Tragedy ] Through his story we come to understand the event intimately. We, the viewers, are brought to it by being shocked. And this is what happened on that bright Tuesday morning, almost ten years ago. Shock.

Some viewers recoiled, as the slap in the face was felt as an insult rather than the wake-up call Fetters meant it to be. Perhaps it worked too well, that shock. Shock makes one angry. The stunning force of it infuriates. And then comes the pain.

This is what is must have been like, Fetters’ story shouts. This is only one imagined life, cut short. This is an unfinished life. This is what 9/11 did. This is what hatred and terrorism did. There are 3000 stories, real ones, and 3000 families and their friends who have suffered immeasurably because their loved ones‘lives were taken.

If, for a few months, we walked in the footsteps of any of the 3000 who were brutally murdered that day, until their demise, we would get to know them. None were perfect, as none of us are. The fictional Tyler was not either.

One effective way we can remember the fallen—we who did not suffer the fate of a personal loss that day—is by remembering the symbol, like Tyler. Also, I have read a book one wife wrote about her loss and that kind of story can bring it to the level of a real person lost. Abigail Carter wrote eloquently of her husband, Aaron, who fell that day. If I can take the liberty of quoting her:

“Perhaps the nature of his demise had itself been the lesson: life needed to be lived and not spent at work. Life was not all about making money. Life was about those that you love. Life was short.”

(page 121)

This sounds a lot like the message of the film, or part of its message. Abigail goes on to walk us through her own grieving in detail, and shares with us her husband Aaron’s likes, his foibles, his character. For anyone wishing to remember a real life, her book is a good avenue. [The Alchemy of Loss: A Young Widow’s Transformation, by Abigail Carter. McClelland and Stewart, Toronto: 2008. ISBN-13: 978-0771019074; ISBN-13: 978-0771019050]

Every one of those 3000 families, the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, children, all felt the giant fist in the face that day, the gut-punch which rendered them stunned, obliterating rational thought and giving way to an enormous, never-ending silent scream, a scream which has, in the almost ten years since, receded to an ever-present growl, but which threatens to overwhelm and be let loose anytime.

Families of the fallen held in front of them photos of their loved ones. Have you seen this man, this woman? Remember him. Do not forget her. The genesis of the movie Remember Me, its raison d’être, comes from such things, -one person holding a photo of his loved one. That person wanted the loved one to be remembered. And that’s what Will Fetters wanted when he wrote this story. Remember the fallen.

Cast Spotlight - Robert Pattinson and “Remember Me”: Part One

Our frequent contributor Jessegirl has written another wonderful article for us. This article, part one of two, looks at Robert Pattinson and his Remember Me experience.


-by jessegirl August 1, 2010

“As an actor, you can elevate the human condition or cheapen it.
I would assume it’s the same with anything you do-
you try to elevate and maybe someday you will.”

-Robert Pattinson, speaking to Jenny Lumet for Details, March 2010.



Working Conditions:
The summer of 2009 Remember Me was shot on location in NYC. Thanks to modern technology like Twitter, paparazzi and fans swarmed every outdoor locale, from the University to Central Park. Video and still cameras shot every move Pattinson made in public and these hounds were as intrusive as NYC ordinances allowed, to the dismay not only of the star but also of the beleaguered director and bewildered crew. Pattinson’s fans lined the streets, cell phones poised, and eagerly awaited his exits from his trailer; Brosnan and Ellington both reported that everyone knew from the screams when Robert was coming to work. There are countless photos of him walking to and from the set escorted by half a dozen burly guards. Others of him with his head down, trying to salvage the tiniest bit of privacy, which amounted to that square foot of cement directly under his feet.

(Right about here is the place to show you what I mean. Ironically, the best way to illustrate the effect this had on the actor is to show you shots taken by the paps. I will not do that. I have full confidence in your imaginations. So, imagine it.)

For an actor, the ability to concentrate, to focus on your character and your lines, is paramount. Pattinson knew too that he was learning his craft. This twin intrusion from paps and fans, he admitted, drove him insane until he learned to mentally blank it out. It was a crazy and pathetic situation, but Pattinson handled it with grace. He was, as Brosnan said, the embodiment of grace under pressure (take note, Christian Bale).

But ask yourself, as you read this, how would you handle it if you were so intensely scrutinized at your place of employment, if you had no way to escape except into yourself? If you can imagine what it was like for him to be so besieged, are you sympathetic for his plight?


Signing On:
By 2009, after Twilight’s success, it was assumed that Pattinson’s turn as Tyler Hawkins had been orchestrated as a star vehicle for him. It was not. If critics had done their homework they would have known that Pattinson signed on to the project long before Twilight’s release, before his fame. He’d been reading countless scripts and read “Memoirs” (Remember Me) in a car park. In video interviews on the Remember Me junket he said he’d read about 50 scripts, and this one stood out. The young male protagonist seemed complex and would give Pattinson lots of rich emotion to work with. The script flowed naturally, the dialogue rang true and the relationships seemed real to him. “There was something so powerful about it, when I first read the script,” he told On The Red Carpet’s George Pennacchio.

Nick Osborne, the producer, and Allen Coulter, the director, heard Pattinson was interested and they met with him. The men were ‘all on the same page’ on the project. So Pattinson signed on. And then Twilight came out.

But after Edward Cullen made his screen debut, everyone was watching and wanting and expecting the moon from Robert Pattinson. An interesting article: “Hollywood is Watching: Can Robert Pattinson Open a Film?” came out which laid out Hollywood’s modus operandi—set them up and pull them down—and its target was Pattinson.(Remember Me Saturday:Can Robert PAttinson Open A Film?)

Pattinson admitted what anyone would in his situation. In another video interview he said it is “difficult to learn when everyone is expecting you to be number one...it is quite worrying”. It’s actually cruel. Unfortunately, Hollywood, the media, and the paps, don’t care.

Where did that tiny square of cement go?



Why make films?
Apart from the much told story about acting being a way to meet girls, Pattinson’s reasons for acting are, according to him, very personal. He said—in a number of Remember Me junket video interviews—that he picks roles which help him develop as a human being, which are cathartic and a sort of therapy. Whether one believes this idealistic view or not, this man can think up a storm. And his commitment to Remember Me reveals a man with integrity.

He is committed to making quality films, so that his name ‘will stand for something’, to eschewing money and fame. Now this sounds odd considering the Twilight franchise, but it must be remembered that he signed on to that when that was a little indie film. Frankly, any astute actor knows the money from the blockbusters gives him freedom to pursue films which really matter. And smart actors are applauded for doing that.

In a recent interview (moviesonline.ca )he said something interesting about career choices: “You try to make every little thing, you try to add something to it...I try to choose things which I think I can give something more to or help to elevate it to something.” There’s that word ‘elevate’ again.



Sticking with “Remember Me”:
Remember Me had difficulty getting financing because it was not an easy story to pigeon-hole. The great ones never are. Pattinson said it “seemed like there was a reason it had been written and a reason it should be made”. Uh-huh. To put it mildly. He, Osborne and Coulter knew they had something special in Fetter’s story and they did everything possible to get it made properly. Their personal investment never flagged.

When Manny the Movie Guy interviewed them [March 10, 2010] asking about Pattinson staying with the role even after the Twilight fame, Fetters and Coulter confirmed Pattinson’s unwavering commitment to the project. Coulter said that there was never a question of Pattinson’s loyalty, and that he always watched the dailies. Fetters: “It speaks to his integrity as an artist that he connected to the character and to the material and wanted to see it through...his commitment and the passion he brought...he was deeply serious about portraying this character.”

In fact, Pattinson’s commitment went beyond acting in the film. He is credited with the executive producership. Whoa! How often does that happen with actors this young? The thing we all have to realize is that Pattinson is no ordinary man, and that the others responsible for this film had much invested emotionally in it. They weren’t shy to use any and every way to make sure the story got told properly.


What Pattinson’s specific involvement was I’m not sure. He was in on script changes, even helped with the casting process (Emilie de Ravin), and tried to get it marketed as something other than a teen romance, to change a trailer which misrepresented it. As he told George Pennacchio (On the Red Carpet), “I didn’t want it to be compromised in any way...so I said anything I can do...I want to do my bit to protect it.”Perhaps his role here was minimal but that he had one at all is salient. And, in his usual self-deprecating manner, Pattinson said he wanted them to put the credit “in really small font”.

Clearly these men—Osborne, Coulter, Fetters and Pattinson—had a vision, undertook this project with passion, and would collaborate in unusual ways so that the result would be true to the story. This is something to admire in all of them, and this beautiful, profound film, is the result. (It has come to my attention that Meredith Milton and Eric Feig need to be mentioned as they got the Summit to put up the $16M production cost.)

Colleagues’ Experience of Pattinson on Remember Me
In print and video interviews the rest of the cast had nothing but good things to say about Pattinson. They all have a great deal of respect for him. And they should know, shouldn’t they?



Ellington tells Nicola McCafferty (OK.co.uk) that Pattinson was ‘as nice as can be’ and ‘utterly always so humble’. De Ravin talks about him bringing ‘intricate details to the character’, and that they both ‘shared the same amount of passion and need to do whatever we could to make this movie work’. Cooper stated that ‘Robert can deliver that sensitivity’. Brosnan felt like a father to him. He mentioned Pattinson’s executive producer gig in many interviews, obviously impressed with that he is ‘using this power, fame and fortune to good intentions...to find good material...and have a career that will be long-lasting’. They’ve all said a lot more but this will suffice for now.



We’ve already heard from Coulter and Fetters but to add to that, Coulter told Manny the Movie Guy that ‘we didn’t know that he’d be as good as he was. I thought, you know, I can get a good performance out of this young man...but he was extraordinary’. You may choose to believe that this is all part of the official view, designed to create a positive bubble around the film. Perhaps. You must decide. I choose to believe them.

Pattinson’s long-time friends and family support him and protect his privacy as much as they can. They don’t tell tales out of school. This regard and respect is significant.


Tyler
Tyler was going through the same transitional phase Robert was, from late adolescence to manhood (he says he chooses roles which cover the same things he’s going through at that point in his life). Yet Tyler was also a conflicted, complex guy, not at all the stereotypical character most scripts present. Therefore, Tyler was interesting. Pattinson knew right away how Tyler spoke. “I had a voice immediately”, he said, and he thought he could add something to it.



Pattinson saw Tyler ‘not really living at the beginning’ but ‘by the end he accepts whatever will be’. On the DVD added feature, he says that Tyler ‘is a guy who is a little bit lost’ and that Ally ‘shows him how to live and how to mature’. He also talks at length about Tyler’s confrontation with his father in the boardroom. It’s funny how he sees his character. To Pattinson the boardroom scene illustrates ‘grudges and grievances which he’s held for years...and they are just old’, and ‘he’s sick of the same rages’. Perhaps because we, the audience, witness only one such confrontation, it had a different meaning for me. I thought it was pivotal and actually affected Charles greatly.

In any case, Pattinson presented a character with subtle dimensions and great humanity, and he did it so well that audiences came to love the Tyler he showed us. Pattinson talks about it being an ensemble cast; well, maybe all the other actors, yes. But it is Tyler’s story; he is the linchpin, the centre, and must convince and win us over. This is a big role for the actor; really, he shoulders the thrust of the story. If we do not care about Tyler by that climactic ending, then what’s the point? But Pattinson does such a good job that we have the phenomenon of grown men, teenage boys, as well as women of all ages, crying for Tyler. Oh, he didn’t do it alone, for the entire cast was superb; all brought a believability and humanity to their characters as well. But his achievement should not be underestimated.



The Performance
From his explosive outbursts in the boardroom and in the street fight, to the tender moments he shares with his little sister, Tyler is a multi-dimensional, complicated and sympathetic character. But whatever else he is doing, he is mourning his brother and using his journal to work through this grief. All of his actions are predicated on this overriding fact. Despite his vacant demeanour, he does not really brood. He is in pain and we see it. His vulnerabilities are so evident it is almost painful to watch—as in the scene where he shows Ally his tattoo—but then we see his emotional bravery too. It is not long before most of us are rooting for him. By the time he stands at the tower, we begin grieving too.

I could go over almost any scene to describe the excellent job Pattinson did to bring this character to the screen. Break it down. Point out the body language here, the facial expressions there, the reactions to the other characters. But I felt it necessary to address peripheral issues like the fans, paps, misapprehensions first, so I’ll save his performance for ‘Part Two’.

Critics were uneven in their judgement of Pattinson’s performance and too many brought up Jimmy Dean and brooding. First, all artists learn from their predecessors. Second, if Dean is to be referenced at all it would be to show that in this instance Pattinson has gone him one better.



Most critics who were positive seemed relieved to report that Pattinson can act at all, clearly of the opinion that his previous roles, and especially Edward, don’t count. That’s debatable too, given that so many critics have no idea what the character of Edward Cullen entails.

Kevin McCarthy, whose review of the whole film is excellent, thinks Pattinson "delivers a very strong performance"[http://www.bdkreviews.com/review.php?movie=rememberme]. And Jackie Cooper: “The most important and fascinating part of the film is that you believe these characters...There is not one false not struck among them...Pattinson is totally impressive as Tyler.” [http://www.jackiekcooper.com/MovieReviews/MovieArchive/RememberMe.htm]. Dustin Putman: “...Pattinson, he is in full command of his leading role and never falters.” Uh huh.

Final Words...
That Pattinson pulled out such a brilliant performance under the working conditions I described before is amazing. That he did it with so much grace is impressive. Given everything Robert Pattinson had shown us of himself, he is a decent man.

I know paps and fans camped out on his Water For Elephants shoot but because of distances neither can violate his privacy and the work on set as happened in the summer of 2009 on the Remember Me set. And recently, again, paps are making his private life hell so he cannot even walk down a street without their in-your-face gleeful violation. Is it too much to ask to treat him with decency? These men just ‘cheapen the human condition’.

Oh man, it sounds so old-fashioned, but if everyone would just treat him as they themselves would wish to be treated, maybe he could breathe. And not have to hang his head down, always searching for that elusive square of privacy. If Tyler Hawkins were the only character Pattinson brought to life, if his screen credits stopped right now, he would have achieved this goal of elevating the human condition. Such was the power of his portrayal, of the role, of the film.

IndieLondon Interview with Robert Pattinson

From the UK press conference for Remember Me:


by Rob Carnevale

ROBERT Pattinson talks about his new film, Remember Me, what appealed about the character of Tyler, the themes of the movie and working with Pierce Brosnan as his father.

He also talks about how he chooses projects outside of the Twilight movies and why brooding is a new term for him…

Q. What did you like about the script when you were approached?
Robert Pattinson: I’d read tons of scripts over the summer, after I did Twilight – I mean hundreds… and everything just seemed exactly the same. This one initially stood out in the way the dialogue was written – it just seemed much more naturalistic than most things. Tyler as a character – it seems that most movies which have a young male protagonist as the lead have to be either a virgin, or have to learn everything during the movie, or they always go through the trials of the movie and end up a different person and they’re completely fine afterwards. But Tyler starts off with a lot of baggage and a very full and developed character, and ends up being developed in a slightly different way, rather than: “Oh I’m fine now!” You just never see that in films very much, especially for young people’s parts.

Timeout.com London chatted with Rob about Remember Me.




Robert Pattinson talks 'Remember Me'

The teen heartthrob proves there’s more to life than ‘Twilight’ as he talks to Time Out about his ‘serious’ indie romance, ‘Remember Me’

The hum of nervous excitement buzzing around Robert Pattinson’s hotel suite this morning is such that you half expect him to walk out with golden skin and alarmingly sharp teeth. But in the flesh, the ‘Twilight’ star is warm, earnest and posher than you might imagine, with something of the teenage schoolboy to him, even down to the frayed cuffs on his jacket. In our closely monitored chat (20 minutes! No questions about Kristin!) Pattinson talks about his role as chain-smoking student loser Tyler Hawkins in the US indie movie ‘Remember Me’, about creating ‘mystique’ as an actor and about sucking blood off his co-star’s lip.

You looked scared stiff when you were handing out a Bafta award last month. Are you getting shyer?
‘I think I am, yeah! The more interviews you do, the more stuff you say to people. You suddenly get worried that people are more likely to judge you. If no one knows anything about you, then you can say whatever you want - and just contradict yourself later. But the more contradictions you make, the scope gets narrower as to what you can say before people get pissed off.’

Your film character Tyler is like a chocolate dessert: What is expected of him is just so much different than what you actually get it ...


How did you come from the vampire Edward in "Twilight" the rebel Tyler in "Remember Me"?


You started your career very young as Cedric in "Harry Potter". Was that a good school for a Hollywood release?

Tu' Interview with Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson was interviewsd by the Mexican Tu' Magazine while doing press for Remember Me in New York City.


Twilight Poison has translated and posted the article on-line.

We were the only ones to talk to Rob alone inside his elegant suite at the Loews Hotel-Regency, in Park Avenue, New York City. He was nice, humble and he talked about everything about his new movie Remember Me.

As he’s describing his adventures on the set of the movie, which was total chaos, we found it interesting that the super star talks in such a low register that we were actually afraid our recorder wouldn’t pick up his voice during the interview. On one side, director Allen Culter assured us that he wasn’t exagerating when he told us about the crowds of fans on the set of the movie: “There were girls that actually flew from Japan to see Rob making this movie. It was terrible. It really made the shooting a nightmare”.
In Remember Me, Rob has the company of Emilie de Ravin, Chris Copper,Lena Olin, and Pierce Brosnan, who describes Pattinson as: “a young man who has been catapulted into the stratusphere of fame. As far as I can tell, he has a good heart, he’s humble, and he was very brave when he chose de role of Tyler, because he’s carrying the weight from Twilight, literally breathing on his neck. It’s up to him to choose interesting roles to film in between filming blockbuster movies”.

After waiting for him for over 30 minutes on his suite, he finally appears, smiley as ever and very shy, sporting black jeans, grey t-shirt with a black t-shirt underneath, green jacket and a bottle of water in hand. We are meeting him to talk about his movie Remember Me, a movie in which he plays a very different guy from his character in Twilight: “he’s someone who, after the loss of his brother, he feels lost. He has wealthy parents but he’s very proud and he’s not good at anything. He has attitude problems, which is not unusual for someone his age, when you think you know more than everybody else”.

Hangbag.com Interviews Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin and Nick Osborne

Handbag.com caught up with Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin and Nick Osborne on the Red Carpet at the UK premiere to talk about Remember Me.

“There’s so much more to it than just a love story,” says Robert’s co-star Emilie de Ravin. “It’s about how families and individuals are affected by and react to love and loss and fear and grief, and all of these things.”

After Twilight’s sucess, Robert has his pick of Hollywood’s top roles, so what made him decide to take Remember Me? “It felt very different to anything else was out there, and it felt very real. And I don’t think most films do feel very real in the way that they’re written. So hopefully that comes across,” Robert explained, before adding. “I just really liked the character, I really related to him.”

But what did Robert and Emilie think about working together? “I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the role,” gushed Emilie. “He really was as equally passionate about it as I was and we really did everything we could to develop our roles, and make everything as natural and real as possible.” And Robert was equally as complimentary. “It was really good, she’s really great,” he said, before adding, “Very feisty.”
