It's been 30 years since Tom Hanks and Robin Wright captured our hearts in Forrest Gump. Paired with their old director, the two bring their heart-string-tugging charm to an ambitious, multi-generational epic.
"It was like the 30 years had never passed," Tom Hanks told ABC Entertainment about acting with Robin Wright again. The AI age reduction would have helped, too.Thirty years after they captured the Zeitgeist with Forrest Gump , director Robert Zemeckis , screenwriter Eric Roth and stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite for a new film that plays very much as a spiritual sequel to their Oscar-winning 1994 smash.
But the bulk of Zemeckis's film, and its emotional focus, is devoted to three generations of the Youngs, a family who comes into existence post-World War II when a returning soldier and his wife welcome a brood of little boomers, who scamper about the house like the 50s family of Back to the Future.
Some of this, however well-intended, is tone-deaf, much in the way that Forrest Gump treated culture as an emotional sandbox. A Native American couple, seen in pre-colonial times , gets little-to-no dialogue.But the worst scene situates the Black family entirely as social phenomenon, as dad explains at length to his son the correct procedure to avoid trouble when pulled over by the police. It's the only conversation of substance this family gets in the movie.
While Here is hardly his most boundary-pushing work, its formal playfulness is fascinating for the way in which it frames what is essentially a very unremarkable story — a life onto which audiences of a certain age and temperament will be able to project their own experience.
