Based on the cartoon “Here” Author: Richard McGuire
Line of Events
A cross-generational story about families and their special place, love, loss, laughter and life. It was first published as a strip in the comic book magazine “Raw” in 1989 and was expanded into a 300-page graphic novel in 2014. The setting is Philadelphia, but the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is seen hitting the same area. That asteroid landed on what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. [from the 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.
Featuring Stooge Conga (1943)
Concerto for Clarinet, Pts. 1 and 2 by Artie Shaw, performed by Artie Shaw and his Orchestra courtesy of RCA Records Application with Sony Music Entertainment. For me, the most fascinating part of this film was the clever use of technology to jump back and forth in time — but not space — to show what had happened in an insignificant place in the territory that New England occupied since its founding. From the dinosaurs to the present day. Transitions are often accomplished by adding picture-in-picture windows over a central video, then jumping to a different time in a few smaller windows before the entire screen also changes to that era. I admit that this trick gets old after a while, but I still found it clever at least at times.
Why should we care about one of Ben Franklin’s sons?
However, I did have some problems that some of the previous fourteen reviewers have already pointed out. The main plot — the three generations of the Young family — isn’t particularly interesting. But the rest, the little stories woven in and out of it, don’t interest me at all. Or a young Indian man/woman and her young lover? Or even the man who invents the Lazy Boy chair? Nothing is done to connect these stories to the main story, nor are they interesting in and of themselves.
I was not bored
This is especially true of the brief time we spent with a young African-American couple living in a house for an undetermined amount of time in our present era. (They are wearing COVID masks.) All we see of them is the woman getting along well with her Latina housekeeper. And the fact that at one point the father gives his son what we white people are told is “the talk,” where the father tells the son how to act when he is stopped by a white cop so he doesn’t die. This is pretty cliche and none of my black friends have ever spoken to their parents like this. Nothing ties these disparate stories together. Since they are not interesting in and of themselves and do not reinforce the main point, that is a problem.

I was even able to rewatch this movie on a TV where I could pause it every now and then. But being in the theater once, even if it wasn’t boring, was enough for me.
