‘Here’ Review: ‘Forrest Gump’ Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis Reunites With Tom Hanks & Robin Wright For Complex Family Story Stuck Somewhere In Time – AFI Fest
A review of 'Here' , a Robert Zemeckis movie on the comings & goings in a house over the course of the century starring Tom Hanks and Rober Wright
Actually the film really starts briefly in the age of dinosaurs, moving along to the land of Native Americans, to none other than Benjamin Franklin and his brood, and finally into this one house where Zemeckis has audaciously set his camera in a stable position in order to capture all these people going about their daily lives in front of us, almost as if we are watching a play. But instead Zemeckis and his Forrest Gump Oscar winning co-writer Eric Roth have gone the cinematic route,and even with a static camera manage to keep it all visually interesting using panels of different moments constantly popping up on screen changing the scenes, time periods, and characters as they get enveloped in this tapestry of humanity. She becomes pregnant and thus the pair are married at a very young age and living with Al and Rose, a situation that becmes strained as they must bring up daughter Vanessa and make money to support a family, deferring Richard’s artistic ambitions and Margaret’s own dreams of adventures beyond this house.
