Thirty years ago, director Robert Zemeckis gave audiences "Forrest Gump," an exploration of life, love and American history through the eyes of one man, played by Tom Hanks. The film’s legacy remains mixed, with critics spending the ensuing decades deconstructing everything from its awards love to its simplistic view of race and disability. Regardless, "Forrest Gump" cemented its status in pop culture, so the announcement that the core team from that film (Zemeckis, co-screenwriter Eric Roth, composer Alan Silvestri, and leads Hanks and Robin Wright) were reuniting for another movie yielded a large amount of curiosity.
The end result, "Here," is another example of Zemeckis’ love for technological advancement. Based on Richard McGuire’s graphic novel of the same name, the movie tells the story of one specific Pennsylvania house and the numerous inhabitants who, over generations, have seen moments of their lives unfold there.
