All songs in the Tom Hanks film “Here”

All songs in the Tom Hanks film “Here”

“Here” is here.

And in Robert Zemeckis' latest, technically innovative drama, his “Forrest Gump” team stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, this time in the role of a couple living in a house. The shooting angle never changes – it's the living room of a mansion as time unfolds (and sometimes bends) around Hank and Wright's characters. It's a bit like Disney's Carousel of Progress attraction – we watch as their relationships, time and devices change – all from a fixed point of view.

And as you can imagine, there's lots of music. There are few better indicators of where we are than the music playing on the radio or on someone's personal music player.

There's also a great Zemeckis Easter egg for fans – someone leaves the TV on at some point. What is being played? The Beatles' monumental appearance on Ed Sullivan's show. It was the first time that Beatlemania landed on the shores of the United States. And it really is something.

It was also the subject of Zemeckis' first film, “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” which follows a group of friends as they try to get into the taping of “The Ed Sullivan Show,” where the Beatles are scheduled to appear. It's a real eye-catcher and definitely worth a look if you haven't seen it yet. It is full of the charm, manic energy and visual dexterity that would come to define Zemeckis' oeuvre. And it's right there in his first film!
