Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it.
Life is such a tragically short, fragile, and maleable thing, capable of being changed in the blink of an eye -- sometimes for the better, sometimes for
the worse -- and in an instant forever altering the course of its remaining time. That sudden change goes unseen to most -- the world continues to
turn, billions go on with their own on-the-precipice of greatness or disaster existences -- but for a few, a single second, one event, a choice, can
turn into a defining event that
forever influences days, months, years, decades. Life, death, why they happen, the way the world works as it does, all are mysteries man ponders
every day, and with each new event -- the most insignificant step that leads to a hill or a valley in the up-and-down existence that is life -- comes
the
possibility that something will change, a significant event will occur, love will rise, life will fall, and whether brought about by one's own actions or
those of
others, lives are forever changed both by the path of one's own footsteps and pure happenstance alike. Remember Me is a Drama about
these ups and downs of life, of how it is shaped by personal choice, random chance, and the relationships man forms. It's a difficult picture of
blatant
honesty about how things work. It doesn't have any answers, but it does offer one thing that may be even more important: hope. Hope in the
potential for good to come of the bad, hope that in the wake of tragedy or the bliss of happiness alike, there will be something worth remembering
for
those who continue on no matter what life has in store next.
Young love.
Digitally shot, Remember Me features all the hallmarks of the modern nontraditional method of moviemaking; it's a bit flat and glossy with no real sense of life to it, but the high definition video nonetheless brings out a steady diet of strong details and handsome colors. Facial textures -- though appearing a bit pasty and flat as they are sometimes prone to do -- clothing stitches, and the ratty odds and ends around Tyler's shoddy small apartment are all handled rather well and are nicely revealed throughout. Colors aren't abundantly vibrant, but instead neutral and true, accentuated by good black levels and natural flesh tones. Though there is some intermittent banding and occasional aliasing, the image is fairly handsome and steadily accurate.
Remember Me arrives on Blu-ray with a steady but far from memorable DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. This is a dialogue-intensive Drama that never really stretches the limits of Blu-ray's audio capabilities, but listeners should be satisfied with the track's ability to handle the picture's sonic material with ease. Music is, as expected, crisp and lifelike across the front, supported by a good low end that cranks up a few notches during a club scene early in the film. Atmospherics are generally handled by the front speakers; sounds of the city, restaurant clatter, and natural ambience in a city park may not completely engulf the listener, but the primary channels handle them with clarity and realism to spare. Rounding out the track is hearty, honest dialogue reproduction.
Remember Me arrives on Blu-ray with two commentary tracks and a making-of featurette.
Remember Me is a strong picture that takes an honest look at the frailty of life and the importance of living it to its fullest each and every day. If there is an ultimate message, it's that one shouldn't wait until tragedy strikes to strengthen the bonds of love or open one's eyes to see what it is they have in life. Life is a fragile, fleeting thing; Remember Me encourages its audience to live like every day is the last, because it may very well be. Strong acting and steady direction complete a wonderful little under-the-radar sort of picture. Summit Entertainment's Blu-ray release of Remember Me features good technical presentations and a trio of quality extras. Recommended.
