Story
A generational story about families and the special place they inhabit, sharing in love, loss, laughter, and life.. It was first published as a strip in the comics magazine "Raw" in 1989, and was expanded into a 300-page graphic novel in 2014..
[from trailer] Richard: You know, if you like, you could spend the rest of the night hereMargaret: I could spend the rest of my life here
'Here' is the fifth film directed by Robert Zemeckis starring Tom Hanks, and while not a 2.5-hour epic spanning 3 decades like 'Forrest Gump', it does somehow manage to span 65 million years. This is done via the film’s gimmick of the camera sitting in the one spot, focusing on the living room of a house built in the early 19th century (presumably in New Jersey, USA), which includes some flashbacks of what was there on that spot of land before the house was built, including a Native American tribe.We then follow ~5 families at various times and their life in the living room.
There they raised their 4 kids, with Richard (Hanks) played by a de-aged/'Big'-era Hanks from ~16
It’s not all linear, but isn’t too confusing, with the main storyline following Al (Bettany) and Rose (Reilly) buying the house after WWII. He then meets de-aged Margaret (Wright), and we follow them as they age in the house over the decades.
The editing is sometimes good, but often unnecessarily annoying
There’s some nice moments, some funny bits and some sad scenes.Even though it’s a relatively short film, it probably didn’t need at least 2 of these storylines! It’s trying to portray the small moments of life that add up to create the human experience.
