  • Profundity Undeserved?
    Profundity Undeserved? By Fearless Young Orphan Remember Me (2010) Directed by Allen Coulter Remember Me received a rating of 28% at rottentomatoes.com. I’m going to make a strange comparison here, between Remember Me and From Here to Eternity. These are both movies with stories that take place prior to monumental catastrophes: 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, respectively. We as the audience know that the horror is coming but the characters do not, and they’re living their lives and dealing with their personal problems while something monstrous looms on the horizon. That’s probably the point, right? Hell, I could be sitting here right now with something monstrous on my horizon. How would I know? Remember Me is not as good a film as From Here to Eternity – oh no, not by a mile—but I respect what it tries to do. I’m just not sure director Coulter and writer Will Fetters chose the best way to do it. The last twenty minutes of the film are powerful, as we watch everyone’s life unspool due to a world-shattering event – imagine how much more powerful they might have been if we have been given some characters who really mattered to us, or a story that didn’t feel like the latest regurgitation of the “serious date movie.” Our main problem is protagonist Tyler (Robert Pattinson) who is a very sulky and angry young man slumming in a crappy apartment while he attends college. We never see him at a real job so we can assume he’s living on his rich parents’ dime.

Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2012 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! This thesis is dedicated to everyone who has ever been obsessed with a television show. Everyone who knows that adrenaline rush you get when you just can’t stop watching. Here’s to finding yourself laughing and crying along with the characters. But most importantly, here’s to shows that give us a break from the day-to-day milieu and allow us to think about the profound, important questions of life. May many shows give us this opportunity as Lost has. Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank my parents, Steve and Jody, for their love and support as I pursued my area of interest. Without them, I would not find myself where I am now. I would like to thank my advisor, Juliet Schor, for her immense help and patience as I embarked on combining my personal interests with my academic pursuits. Her guidance in methodology, searching the literature, and general theory proved invaluable to the completion of my project. I would like to thank everyone else who has provided support for me throughout the process of this project—my friends, my professors, and the Presidential Scholars Program. I’d like to thank Professor Susan Michalczyk for her unending support and for believing in me even before I embarked on my four years at Boston College, and for being the one to initially point me in the direction of sociology.
