Features Toast of the Town (1948)

Story

A generational story about families and the special place they live in, sharing love, loss, laughter and life.. Based on the comics ‘Here’; by Richard McGuire. It was first published as a strip in the comic magazine “Raw”; in 1989 and was expanded into a 300-page graphic novel in 2014.. [from trailer] Richard: You know, if you want, you can spend the rest of the night here. Margaret: I could spend the rest of my life here.. Greetings again from the dark. I may be in the minority on this one, but it’s inconceivable to think I’m alone in my feeling that a film is overhyped as a FORREST GUMP directorial reunion.

A long time

, writer, stars and crew. I found this to be one of the most irritating and tiring movies to watch that I’ve seen in a while. Of course, I’m sure it’s possible to make a decent movie with no plot and little story and no character of interest…but this isn’t it. Without intending to poison the water for potential viewers, this will simply recap the process. The premise is to plant a room in one place and then progress through history. Starting with dinosaurs gone mad, the devastating flood, Mother Nature reclaiming the land, Native Americans living their lives, Benjamin Franklin’s illegitimate son building a huge house, and finally our specific house being built in a newly established neighborhood. We then see the families occupying the house over the years.

Anyway, life things happen

When I say the camera stays in one place, that’s exactly what I mean. It’s like it never moves while the dinosaurs are having fun and Franklin’s house is being built, and finally the window in this house gives a static view of the living room. Very little excitement appears in this living room. Most of the time, it’s the same family stuff you’re probably experiencing: love, marriage, birth, death, illness, arguments, heartbreak. Although there are other residents, the house is lived in most years by the Young family, starting with army veteran Al Young (Paul Bettany) and his wife Rose (Kelly Riley). One of their children is aspiring artist Richard (played as a teenager, adult and senior by Oscar winner Tom Hanks). He marries his high school sweetheart Margaret (Robin Wright), who hopes to be a lawyer.

Most of these remind me of Mr

and keep happening, as overlapping frames are used as we link from one period to another, both forward and backward. 2024 is the 40th anniversary of the Oscar-winning film FORREST GUMP. 'Gump' The cast for this film includes writer-director Robert Zemekis, co-writer Eric Roth, lead actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, cinematographer Don Burgess, composer Alan Silvestri, sound designer Randy Thom and costume designer Joanna Johnston. Adapted from Richard McGuire’s 2014 graphic novel, the film bears little resemblance to the classic film this team previously worked on (earning 6 Academy Awards and 13 nominations). in THE IRISHMAN (2019), he takes it to a whole new level, with Hanks and Wright as both the teenagers and the elders. Potter’s line in IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, “Sentential hogwash.” Only we should add generic dialogue and bland characters. The exception to the latter is the intimate relationship between David Flynn and Ophelia Lovibond, as his character’s inspired engineering leads to romantic moments for the couple.

Should we care about this land?

To put it plainly, there is simply no story here. House? The residents? Or is it just a slow reminder that life goes on… so get busy living' or be busy during' (yes, a SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION quote helps me recover from a disappointing movie experience). It opens in theaters on November 1, 2024.
