When You Remember Me

Watched the film for the first time 3 days ago. I was so glued to the TV as the performance/story line/emotion had me glued. Amazing acting around such a dramatic heart wrenching story. Many aspects that were covered such as disability, care quality within the health care system, and the strength/determination of the disabled child living in a world which included those who did not care.

The phrase he wrote about remembering him made me cry a little because it was so beautiful. I hope the film has woken many people up with regard to the plight of the disabled. Well done to all who made this beautiful thought provoking film. I applaud you.

Most of the other 'comments' I have read missed the point of the movie. One person had the nerve to refer to the lead charachtor as arrogant. My friend, that was hope.

I am a person who has lived through this most devastating of disorders, both brothers had Duchenne muscular dystrophy and are now dead. 'When You Remember Me' captures the soul of a person with DMD in that nomatter what happens, make the best of it. No matter what a person may appear to be/have(disability/color of skin/sex, illness) look at the person inside.

This movie is both insperational and depressing. It must be noted that this is a true story (dramatised) and that people live this every day.

Although not the best film ever made, Fred Savage's portrayal as a kid with muscular dystrophy alone is reason to watch this film.

It is very much like One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, with the same forceful style nurse, and one patient (Mike Mills) who knows the real medicine the patients need. A great film

Fred Savage (The Wonder Years) proves that he has capabilities way beyond what anybody would have expected of him. Playing the role of the disabled teenager in the true story could not have been easy, but he does so very convincingly. This film really makes you think about the conditions in homes for the disabled, and wonder how far the truth goes...

I saw this movie some years ago and I just couldn't forget it afterwards. It has never been on Dutch television again and I unfortunately forgot the title. Till a friend recommended this site. I remembered that the starfigure played Kevin in The Wonder Years, so I found the title very quick!! It's movie you'll keep remembering. You just can't forget the children, their fears, their experiences and their joy. A great roll from Fred Savage!!
