It's been a minute!
Tom Hanks had he first movie release in a year, and I am "here" for it!
Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite once again for another movie about life, love, and how lives moves in some spaces.
I am always excited about a new Tom Hanks movie, but I will say I was more excited when I learn about how this movie was shot. I now of two movies that are show in one continuous motion, Birdman and Rope. I have never heard of a movie that is shot from one stationary camera angle. It never moves from the spot that it starts.
When I first heard of this movie and started telling people about it I was saying that it's about a family and how their lives grow though the lens of one camera, and how live works around it. However, I found out quickly it's not about one family. It about how life revolves around one spot, one view, in one place, of this whole big world. It shows how the world has moved thought history of this one spot since the dawn of time. Now, before you think that it's done chronologically, it's not. They edit this movie so that all of the stories that are seen in this spot relate to each other. It's a nice way to show that we have all loved, lost, and move on in a number of different ways in the whole history of the world. Times, change, but there are always big landmarks in our lives that we all share.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this story or not, but it surprised me. I loved seeing how the world unfolded around this spot, and how full, crazy, sad, and wonderful everyone's lives are. Things change and things stay the same. No life can't all be lived in the same spot, but so much life happens in spots you don't seem to like of, like your living room.
I would totally see this movie again, and recommend it to anyone who would like to see a new way of shooting a movie as well.
