Margaret: I could spend the rest of my life here
Chronology
A story of generations about families and the special place they inhabit, sharing love, loss, laughter and life.. Based on the comic book "Here" by Richard McGuire. 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. [from the trailer] Richard: You know, if you want, you can spend the rest of the night here.
Features Toast of the Town (1948)
The most intriguing part of this film for me was the clever use of technology to jump back and forth in time – but not space – to show what happened in an unremarkable place in the area now occupied by New England from the age of the dinosaurs to the present day. Transitions are often accomplished by adding picture-in-picture windows over the one central video clip and then jumping to a different time in some of the smaller windows before the entire screen also changes to that era. I’ll admit that this trick did get old after a while, but I still found it clever at least sometimes. For me, though, there were problems that some of the previous fourteen reviewers have already pointed out.
Why should we care about one of Ben Franklin’s sons?
The main story – that of the Young family, over its three generations – isn’t particularly interesting. But the other, secondary stories that weave in and out of it aren’t really of any interest. Or the young Native American/Indian young woman and her young lover? Or even the man who invented the Lazy Boy recliner?
It’s pretty cliché, and none of my black friends have ever had that conversation with their parents
Nothing is done to tie these stories back to the main one, and they’re not of any interest in themselves. This was especially true of the brief time we spent with a young African-American couple who were living in the house for some unspecified time in our time. (They have COVID masks on.) All we really see of them is the woman getting along well with her Latina housekeeper. And that the father at one point gives his son what we white people are told is “the talk,” where a father tells his son how to behave when pulled over by a white police officer so he doesn’t get shot by one.
I wasn’t bored
Nothing really holds these disparate stories together. Since they’re not interesting in their own right and don’t reinforce the main point, that’s a problem. I could even watch this movie again on TV, where I could pause it for a break every now and then. But once in the theater, while not boring, it was enough for me.
