Caught Between Classes: Remember Me

 
Remember Me - 2010

“Remember Me” is a 2010 film about an unexpected love.  Alyssa is a middle class daughter of a police officer who falls in love with Tyler, the son of a very wealthy man.  Tyler chooses to live a lower class life for he resents his father for pressuring his brother to live the high class life which led to his suicide.  Tyler was arrested by Alyssa’s father before he met her, as seen in the above screenshot.  Alyssa slowly finds out about Tyler’s rich family but it doesn’t matter to her.  Alyssa’s father, on the other hand, judges Tyler on the lower class lifestyle he chooses to live.  Alyssa is a strong young woman and makes her own decisions to take her space when she needs it and to support Tyler through his struggle to make an emotional connection to his wealthy father.  This story shows a headstrong woman caught in the battle between social classes because of the love she has for a man.
