Remember Me is a 2010 drama film starring Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan and Emilie de Ravin.It follows the lives of two families in New York City. Tyler (Pattinson) is a typical screw up young college student who only seems to care about his little sister Caroline, as his home life is fairly screwed up since his parents are divorced, and the father (Brosnan) has remained distant ever since the eldest brother killed himself. Tyler meets Allie (De Ravin) who has issues of her own, her mother being murdered on the subway in front of her when she was eleven, and her father being an overprotective fireman.Not to be confused with the video game of the same name, the fantasy book series, or the Oscar-winning song.

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Charles rather blatantly uses his wealth and power to prevent the school from pressing charges against Tyler for defending Caroline, as well as threatening the parents of the bullies to make them immediately transfer schools.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Allie could be seen as a Reconstruction. First, Tyler seeks her out and just for the sake of a prank. Her quirky hobbies are juxtaposed with witnessing her mother's murder and a strained relationship with her father. Plus Tyler dies while Allie continues to live her life, therefore growing as a character more. In addition to this, she's quite fun and lively, and getting with her does improve Tyler's life immensely.

When Charles misses Caroline's art show due to a business meeting, Tyler storms into his office and calls him out. Then Charles throws that back at Tyler, because he clearly regrets missing the art show and reminds Tyler that he's just a kid without any responsibility while Charles has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Humiliation Conga: The girls who bully Caroline aren't punished because the incident didn't happen on school property. Half of it happens off-screen but the girls who bullied Caroline get their just desserts from Tyler and Charles. Tyler grabs one of the girl's desks off the floor, flings it at the wall and then throws it back in front of her before throwing a fire extinguisher through the classroom door. It's then revealed that Charles has pulled some strings so that the school can't press charges against Tyler or else he'll do the same for what happened to Caroline. And he's also threatened to sue all of the girls' parents unless they all immediately transfer to other schools.

Caroline is bullied for being smart and studious. Early 2000s attitudes were that Dumb Is Good, and acting stupid was considered cool. Her teachers do not intervene to stop the bullying, reminding viewers of how lax attitudes towards it were at the start of the decade.

Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used To Be: The film is set in the early 2000s and just appears to be slightly nostalgic for the period - lack of cellphones among the main characters, Allie's midriff-barring wardrobe, the father being able to use his wealth before fear of the recession, American Pie 2 in cinemas etc. But Caroline is bullied for being smart, as a reminder that attitudes towards school bullying were still very casual. Then Tyler dies in the 9/11 attacks.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Mildly since the film is set ten years before it was made. Allie's father is even more worried by her staying out all night because she'd be less likely to have a cell phone and he wouldn't be as reachable via text or social media to confirm her whereabouts. Caroline is bullied for being smart and studious. Early 2000s attitudes were that Dumb Is Good, and acting stupid was considered cool. Her teachers do not intervene to stop the bullying, reminding viewers of how lax attitudes towards it were at the start of the decade.

Calling the Old Man Out: Two examples. Allie calls hers out early in the film when he flips out at her staying the night at someone else's. He ends up hitting her in a fit of rage and she doesn't see him again until near the end. When Charles misses Caroline's art show due to a business meeting, Tyler storms into his office and calls him out. Then Charles throws that back at Tyler, because he clearly regrets missing the art show and reminds Tyler that he's just a kid without any responsibility while Charles has to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Brick Joke: Aidan brags about having slept with a girl of every ethnicity. Allie asks about an eskimo and he responds that there is a certain girl who works at the library. The focus then switches to Tyler arriving home to find Allie's father waiting for him. After that big scene is over, Allie arrives home saying she'd just been at the library speaking with the girl in question.
