I'm 36 I saw this movie yesterday in theaters I was the only one innthe theaters who wasn't a senior citizen lol I thought it was adorable how so many elderly couples came to see this movie and you can hear them talk to each other about it. What I loved about this movie is that it never really straight up tells you what year it is, based on the furniture, clothing, vehicles in the yard, and what's going on you can pretty much pick up like ok we in the 1900s, 1930s, 1950s, 1980s, 2000s which which I absolutely loved. This is one of my favorite movies of the year it's such a beautiful movie about life.

They do tell you that it's 2003 during the New Years scene. And the news of Pearl Harbor on the radio indicates that it's 1941 (the inventor also predicts 1942 will be a good year). But other than that, yeah, it's pretty vague.

And that was the reason why it "bombed". I really liked the movie, and also enjoyed another Disney release that "bombed", "John Carter". Both movies were released during the phase 1 of the MCU, and while the not original MCU movies were braking bank, the "original" (not so original, but less known to the global audience) stuff didn't deliver the expected return. And that's the problem with movies these days. Movie studios are now risk averse Wall Street traded companies, that burn millions of dollars, expecting huge returns. And that is ruining the industry. Tron Legacy made 400M, John Carter 285M. These shouldn't be considered "bombs", that's still a lot of money. Sorry about the rant...

That aspect resonated with me as well. My wife and I spoke about this on the way home from the theater. She said that each couple had features of their predecessors in that sense of giving up passion for what seems like responsibility. Thankfully we have done so much and both own our own businesses and have travelled the world together. But we both picked up on the fact that the inventor and the pilot, were the only ones who kept pushing for their dreams. I just saw the movie tonight. And now I’m analyzing some of these deeper messages.

It's like they come back to life, regain consciousness. It's beautiful in a bittersweet kind of way, and I feel like the film portrays it perfectly.

“Here” is based on a graphic novel that was really innovative in its story telling. If you google it, you can find the original version online. For a movie based on a comic/graphic novel, it is successful where others fail in sticking to the source concept. From Wikipedia: "Here" is a 6-page comics story by Richard McGuire published in 1989, and expanded into a 304-page graphic novel in 2014. The concept of "Here" (in both versions) is to show the same location in space at different points in time, ranging from the primordial past to thousands of years in the future.

Cyrano de Bergerac, made in 1950, with an Oscar winning performance by José Ferrer. I saw this as a teen in the late 80s. It’s been my favorite film, book, and play ever since. The dialogue is amazing. There’s great humor in the film. Describing ass kissing social climbers, Cyrano says he notes how they go about making friends, the way a dog makes friends. There’s drama. Describing honor, My soul be satisfied with flowers, with weeds, with the thorns even, but let me gather them in the one garden I can call my own. There’s romance of course. The love poetry is brilliant. It’s the centerpiece of the work. Cyrano is the archetypal lover doomed to miss out on his true love, but will still love her all the same. Perfect.

"Warrior" is the best example of a movie that I've seen 100x but somehow seemed better and more unique than all the other viewings.

@@rashodmasters4299 It's because of a thing called "architypes". Humans respond most to a narrative structure, we are a story driven species. These stories have an inbuilt hierarchy. Not all stories are created equal, and that is where "architypes" come into play. We subconsciously recognize the most important aspects of a narrative, and respond to them instinctively. That's why films with these architypes almost always do well (if directed, shot, and acted well). We have trivialized them by calling them "generic" or "stereotypical", but really they are the very core of human experience. Stories are a pivotal aspect of being human, and we have become so comfortable with the most important narratives, that even when we just FEEL like they are great, we often don't even recognize their importance, and shrug them off as "clichés". They are clichés for a good reason.

A movie I always wish more people saw and talked about is The Vanishing of Sidney Hall. On surface level it's a pretty standard story on the potential dangers of rising in fame at a young age. But what makes it stand out is how it is not linear and keeps jumping around 3 different times in Sidney's life and becomes like an unconventional mystery thriller as we discover the life choices and events that got him to where he is. And Logan Lerman plays the 3 different ages fantastically! I love this movie!

This movie feels like an indie auteur movie made with a highly decorated all-star filmmaker bringing a unique vision to life with all the benefit of their experience. I honestly think that's what it is, even though I'll admit that I haven't seen the film. It has that feel of an experiment, something that the director doesn't know if it'll work, but is so confident in their abilities and their vision that they MADE it work. Also? The meteor that killed the dinosaurs struck the Yukatan Peninsula, yeah, but it raised so much dust and debris and broke up enough in the atmosphere that it's not like it's the only thing that hit the earth. Give it a few degrees of give and some of the debris that came off that asteroid would have drifted northward and hit the east coast of the USA. We don't really know, but I find it perfectly fine, especially since if we saw the actual exact asteroid? The screen would've just been a bright white flash for several seconds as the energy dispersed into the environment, followed by a wave of brown dust and earth as the ground rippled like a wave. We clearly didn't see the actual asteroid, just some debris, in this movie. HOWEVER, this is clearly dramatic license anyway, because the asteroid that killed the dinos would've streaked by so fast that we'd never be able to see it. We'd just see a bright flash and a line in the sky as it passed overhead, then the boom in the distance and then another flash of light. So I'm not upset at all by this, it's just kinda fun.

I just saw the movie and didn’t watch or read any reviews prior because I didn’t want to spoil anything. It was about 20ish minutes in I realized that it was all going to take place entirely in the same room with the same static camera angle. I was a little disappointed but decided it was definitely one of the most unique movies and the way the boxes became like “windows” into the past or future was interesting. I’m 45 and my father passed last year, my oldest child is a freshman in college this year and my wife and I just celebrated 22 years of marriage. So milestones are a big thing right now in my life. It’s worth watching but can wait until after the theater run, watching at home would be just fine. It’s sad, I got teary eyed at parts for sure. The concept is interesting but it’s also quite slow and quiet. The whole time I could hear loud noises coming from surrounding theaters. Other Zemeckis movies I’ve watched numerous times, this one I do not feel like I’ll watch again.

Honestly i think the movie didnt deliver at the build-ups... You know the Father character is gonna die... Why show a transition? Show us him passing away in the arms of Tom Hanks... (Cauz i believe His character had the most screen time)... You didnt show Vanessa after she became a Lawyer... Why? Would she return just once for old time sakes? I guess it meant to show children move on and never come back... There was the build up of Divorce... Well it didnt feel like one because i guess both the character didnt regret it... The Alzheimer's part of Robin Wright character was established but it could have been played way better... Tom Hanks. Honestly a big fan of him but his character felt lika Flat arc. You got a simple Sub-Urban dad as your Lead character... Atleast add Human struggles like Financial issues, rough dad issues, daughter out of hand issues, wife not listening issues, not able to do his dream job of becoming an Artist leading to low self esteem issues... It should have dealt more... And i think Tom Hanks character could have been played solo more than a Couple... If you wanted to play the ending parts of story lika solo divorced man. They should have taken this route because It would make it more fun... And wanted to feel for him... There isnt a scene of crying of Tom Hanks... Which makes it feel like a void honestly... You got a divorce conversation... Make it nasty... Make it serious... I want to be indulged... I felt really bad the way they just didnt give a homage to The Father character dying... It was a Lost opportunity...

I know what you mean about houses being a character in the story too. I feel like Haunting of Hill House really nailed that. There are several other examples, of course, but I feel like every good haunted house movie has the house as a character as well. I was interested to see this movie and am now even more intrigued. I'll have to go check this out.

The movie reminded me of 'Cloud Atlas', which funny enough also starred Tom Hanks. But unlike that movie, the stories in 'Here' although interesting, don't seem to interconnect as well, and I really wished they did a better job at that.

"Arsenic and Old Lace" did the static setup really well, but in their case it wasn't completely static--Mortimer does go into the kitchen once early in the movie, and the characters go outside sometimes. Other than that, about three-quarters of the action takes place in the living room.

I think they stole the premise of this movie from "A Ghost Story", if you watched it, you would recall that the "ghost" gets stuck in the house where he lived when he died and he is vaulted in the past and then to the future of people living in that house or on the property of the house. While the overall story is a bit different, the premise is oddly similar.

My grandmother passed away peacefully in that home in 1995. I really want to see this movie because I do wonder about these things. For that reason, I think I will like this movie despite all the negative reviews it's getting.

I enjoyed the trailer for this movie featuring the Yes song: I’ve seen all good people. Great song Also the movie was better than I expected after seeing a lot of lackluster reviews prior to actually seeing it. I thought it was better than average (even if not great) and certainly got points for me for being different cinematically. I’ve seen a lot of plays and it didn’t feel like a play to me because it took full advantage of all that could be done from an editing perspective with a movie compared to a play. I really enjoyed all of the smaller windows within the larger picture into different times from the same location. They managed to make it seem special to me rather than gimmicky. Also the camera does move at the very end. I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be a spoiler or something. But It was kind of crazy how special a moving camera seemed after it never moved for so long.
