With Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis reuniting for Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Pinocchio, we take a look back on the pair’s previous films
Forrest Gumpis the superior Hanks/Zemeckis effort. Yet, for whatever reason, this 2000 gem is largely overlooked, even forgotten, despite high production values , a mesmerizing performance from Hanks , and a deeply profound story about one man’s quest to find meaning and purpose in his life.is a quiet, somber film that spends as much time reflecting on the intricacies of love as it does on Chuck Noland’s attempts to create fire.
Audiences agreed and flocked to watch Hanks act opposite a volleyball to the tune of $430 million worldwide. Critics balked at the sentimental ending, but honestly, I’ve always felt that Chuck’s return to the mainland offers some of the most satisfying moments of the entire film. The realities of life don’t quite mesh with his fantasies, but he still finds a reason to continue the journey. Good stuff.is the still astonishing special effects used to create Chuck’s extraordinary adventure.
The problem with the picture is the creepy animation that unfortunately posits all of the characters in the uncanny valley — a problem that would put a swift end to Zemeckis’ foray into animation, ala the disappointing. Action scenes are effective, and the scenery is gorgeous, but the technology at the time wasn’t capable of rendering believable human faces. As such, some of the imagery pops, while other bits are just plain difficult to watch.
On top of that, there’s far too much Hanks. The great actor has a number of roles in the film but doesn’t do enough to separate one character from the other, leading to something akin to Hanks overkill. He’s at his best as the wily train conductor, but by the time he pops up as Santa Clause, you’ll wish Zemeckis and company had opted for more variety in the casting department.
Still, on a positive note, Alan Silvestri’s score is once again a delight, and, as stated, some of the action is quite breathtaking. The overarching message at the core is enough to warm the hearts of all but the most cynical, even if the distracting animation undercuts the emotional beats. One can only hope that Zemeckis will one day go back and remaster
