Remember Me's ending actually ties in perfect. I'll explain to you in white because spoilers and such.
His father worked in the twin towers, and the date which is displayed the morning of him going to the towers is 9/11 -- when the terrorist attack on the twin towers occurred. He went there because he was trying to get his father to be a good father to him and his little sister (who, if I remember correctly, had a special day at school or something and she wanted her dad to attend? I'm not 100% sure. Either way, he needed to be a better parent). He dies in the terrorist attack -- while his father lives because he doesn't go into the office early.
His father became a horrible parent when his older brother committed suicide -- working long hours, providing his children only with monetary support, something neither of them was interested in because they wanted a loving father figure in their life and he didn't quite hold up, yadda yadda. The father feels he is at fault for his second eldest child's death, since he wasn't at the school for his daughter's special day (maybe it was graduation?) and the only way his children knew how to contact him was via the office. It took his second son to die in order for him to get his head screwed on straight and pay loving attention to his daughter. It works with the plot line really well, and makes a lot of sense in the context of the day and such.Honestly, I don't really like the ending because well, it's super sad (I cried) but I can accept it.
I really don't like open-ended movies.
The worst for it is probably
Inception.
Great movie, bloody annoying ending.
They comes pretty close too (but I think that movie was awful anyway -- it tried keeping it suspenseful the whole way through, and so it just lost it for me. I can't be kept in suspense, there needs to be relief
somewhere.)
I also don't really like the open-endings of
Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and
Before Midnight, although the first two are okay because, hello, sequels. Even though they were made ten and nine years afterwards.
