I could not find the opening scene for the film "Remember Me" on youtube as it is a newly released film, however it's one of the best openings of a film I have seen. The film starts with a mother and daughter on a platform and two men suspiciously looking at them. The train pulls up and the men walk towards the mother and daughter demanding their bags, and from the sight of a gun, they immediately hand them over. The men get on the train and the doors close. However, due to problems with the train the doors re-open and the mugger's immediate reaction is to shoot the mother. The train pulls away and the young girl is left screaming on the platform with her dead mother.
This opening is very shocking and therefore has big impact on the audience. There are no credits in this opening and I believe this is so the audience are fully focused on the events.
There is a general "green" tinge to the opening which gives and eerie atmosphere and you almost expect something bad to happen.
This is the soundtrack played during this scene which adds to the dramatic effect of the opening.
Here is the trailer.
