I take this opportunity to recommend people who like the realistic drama and heavy dialogues of G Senjou Heavens Door to watch the movie Remember Me written by Will Fetters. I was a little biased to watch the movie because the lead actor was only known for cliché movies like Twilight. But boy, Remember Me has one of the most intense movie moments I have seen, and believe me – I have watched and read A LOT of good movies and mangas that deal with relationship conflicts. (All my favorite movies and series are actually about philosophy and life.)
Remember Me is about simple people in simple settings getting blown from one feet to another by real problems. Tyler, whose parents have split in the wake of his brother’s suicide, and Ally, who lives each day to the fullest since witnessing her mother’s murder. Her spirit helps him heal after a family tragedy.
RM is different than most movies as it does not try for laughter or tears. Everything feels right and understandable. Because of details like stuttering, repetition, or incomplete sentences in verbal speech that all dialogues sound so well as if taken from real speech and that positively affects the credibility! The charm of the script does not lie in the romance scenes, the dramatic twists, but in the seriousness the way the conflicts were spread out and dealt with. There is no right or wrong, no good or evil, no classic villain roles for the viewer. One is forced to take sides just to find oneself confused and lost like the main character in the movie. It’s Will Fetters’ first screen writing and the dialogue realism simply outshines most of the recent movies that call themselves drama.
While watching I realized instantly that the script and dialogues were deep and very natural. Convinced that the setting and dialogues were too real I run some background checks and found out, that great parts of the movie are actually based on Will Fetters’ own experience. Writing the script was his way of coping with the problems he had at that time and I’m stunned at what he has created. A beautiful life embracing movie that breathes hope instead of destiny. It’s a movie that forces the viewer to think and remember what is truly important in life, also that life can’t be planned out and that it is not important WHAT you do, or how busy you are, one should always try to balance out work and family, money and life. There are more things to learn from the movie, but you have to watch it yourself.
It’s because the very small fact that many viewers haven’t been through life changing conflicts, that pushed them out of their comfort zone, that most of the reviewers simply couldn’t understand the message behind the movie: If you fall, learn to get up on your own, forget the past and evolve, embrace the future while accepting the past – all those things that can’t be learned in school or books are displayed successfully in Remember Me. For those who are going through personal hardships, this movie is a wonderful eulogy to life. Go, watch it!

Nah, it’s fine mono. There’s a reason I do this. I want to thank the screenwriter personally, but was not able to find his private email address. I hope that he might consider answering this review as I’d like to change a few words with him.

I don’t really think people cares about what movies you watch. More manga!
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:25 PM
it seems people here don’t care about movies one bit lol
did not see this one, can’t say i am a fan of romance movies, i prefer them when comedy is mixed with the romance, especially when it has a bittersweet feel. from what i can remember the last romance that i watched and really impressed me was 500 days of summer.

hahaha

Well, regardless if this movie is to everyones tastes, I can understand why silverado wants to try to make this place more than a one-stop-manga-shop. Admittedly, it doesn’t tie in well with peoples specific interests here, but, hey, an admin is allowed some idiosyncratic contributions every now and then, right?
May 2nd, 2010 at 5:50 PM
that movie have a crazy ending. seriously, some writer smoke some crazy stuff.
May 2nd, 2010 at 9:26 PM
Most people don’t get it. This is no romance movie. This is a fucking epic drama!

Ungrateful bastard! You don’t seem to know who owns this website. If you don’t care get the fuck out of my site!

midhras: of course, more variety is always welcome and since i love movies just as much as manga i like reading this kind of reviews here, especially since i think silv is really good at writing them(i especially enjoyed reading his thoughts on eden), so i most definitely would not mind reading more and it can be anime,manga,movies, game related :)
as for being a drama and not a romance, i just searched a bit more about this movie since i was curious and saw it labeled as romance…in the end most romance movies fall also in the drama category, oh well, not that important for me.
as for that stupid comment, that should have probably just been deleted, no need to pay any attention to such a fool.

hey, at least contact me or my1412love if you got problem with this wordpress theme =.= he (myluv) said the auto generating cropping images cant cross server (as I see you using it as http://www.mydailymanga.com/2010/03/27/springtime-for-tanks/) u must use the wordpress build in uploader for this task, no go around.
chat with him if that not the problem.
May 3rd, 2010 at 2:17 PM
No, it’s server related.
May 3rd, 2010 at 3:30 PM

May 3rd, 2010 at 6:44 PM
Thanks, how’s your own website project doing? Did the financial crisis slash your budget as well?

Remember Me is no romance movie. The sole fact that romance takes only 5 min of the movie and it’s still categorized as romance, shows that the reviewer were at loss on how to categorize the movie. It couldn’t be categorized. In manga you’d say this is a slice of life manga, plain, ugly, multiple dark shades on a colorful background. Those morons from Times and their patriotic fixation are blinded by the events of 9/11 and can’t see what this movie is really about: about the father son relationship. The dialogues are well written and feel real. Everybody who went through similar troubles can tell that the dialogues are based on real events. I for my part, can really relate to the character. It was like me standing in the movie saying the very same words to my parents. Where most of the drama movies use stereotypes Remember Me’s character are all multi colored and their words have a deeper meaning. You get the full spectrum of hate, jealousy, fear and misunderstanding that’d also see in real life. Everytime I watch the movie the realism send shivers down my spine. This kind of movie isn’t made anymore.
