Saddest. Movie. Ever.

Just kidding, it's not. It is sad though :/

(Slight spoilers. Read with caution. You have been warned.)

I haven't ever really seen the middle. Just the ends. I watched the beginning a couple months ago, because I was going to watch the whole thing. Then I saw how the mom died and I said NU-UH I ain't watchin' this!!! (I HATE death in movies)

But then today, for no reason at all, I got the sudden urge to know how it ended. Big. Mistake.

I hated it. So much.

I didn't realize when the time-line was but as soon as I saw the date I was like OOHH SH*T. And I knew since he was in the towers, they were going to kill him. Because what kind of movie would it be if they didn't? The storyline just wouldn't be as powerful. However, it still sucked :/

But now the whole Gandhi thing fits in. And, at least he forgave his dad. Not that the dad would ever know. But it's curious. He was talking about how Gandhi said what you do will be insignificant but you have to do it. Makes me think of doing little things. What I'm saying is, Tyler (??? Thats the name on the gravestone so I assume thats Roberts characters name) wanted more then anything for his dad to pay attention to his little sister. His dad takes the sister to school (made Tyler happy) so while Tyler was waiting, his dad was on his way. His dad didn't die, only Tyler. They could have both died, but because of that one little thing, only Tyler did. Still sucks. He died happy. :/

And did it look like the dad was smiling when he got out of the car to anyone else?

Anyways, it makes me sad that they killed him (like I said, I hate death. You can be the most deserving person of it in the world, and I still wouldn't be able to deal with it). Imagine being in his place, all happy, never knowing. So innocent and not knowing. So stupid of the fact. And then BAM. Imagine being the little sister whose brother didn't come for her, and crying. Imagine being the father with whom you didn't have a good relationship. And the mother...And Emilies character, who also looked beat up about it. AND the best friend.

And then imagine yourself in those places of the actual people who suffered through the event, not just the ones who showed heartache on the big screen.

Maybe that's why movies are so sad to me, because I think about all that. I ponder for a while. The stuff will still haunt me days after (true story).

But the title makes sense now. And the quote from Gandhi. It was all leading up to his death, at the end, which apparently "had" to happen. No, seriously, it did. Because the movie wouldn't have had as much impact if he hadn't died. I mean seriously I think they could have avoided it, but then it would have been just a movie, like all the other stupid ones with the stupid endings. Maybe some people still think it's like those, all stupid and stuff. But I thought the movie was very moving and sad when he died. And thinking about it without that ending, now that I've seen the ending, it doesn't make sense for it not to be there. Now it seems like he was wanting to be remembered, and then by the end that he's SAYING Remember Me. Which goes with Gandhi's "Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." And I guess I could see the insignificantly important stuff that he did.

Even though I didn't like Robert Pattinson or his character much, I still feel sorry for him and everyone else :/ :/ :/ I hated when it showed the mom, then the dad, then Emilie and the friend, and then the sister ( :/ :/ ) but the worst part would have to be not the sister crying, or Emilie (and the ashes floating around), which were sad as well as the others, not how it zoomed out of the towers and you knew he was going to die, not the scene with his tombstone (in which LOTS of time has passed because the sisters hair is long again)...but the scene of INSIDE the tower where there's a mess inside, with all the things strewn about-because I could have sworn I saw his book he kept everything in. Oh, and his voice over at the end, I liked that, too.

The ending was good. I liked how it ended-ended with Emilie and her eyes. She has pretty eyes. And I guess all the endings meant his death was an "insignificant" thing that had to happen. Because it happened, and it changed things for the people who knew him. So one of his insignificant things he had to do was die?

Maybe they didn't have to kill him, but maybe they did.

"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it because... nobody else will. And when someone comes into your life, and half of you says 'you're no where near ready' and the other half says 'make her yours forever'. Michael, Caroline asked me what I would say if I knew you could hear me. I said I didn't know. I love you. God, I miss you. And I forgive you."
