Using forced perspective as the basis for a film is one thing but when director Robert Zemeckis does it, it can take on a whole other level. Here he tries many things and has a fantastic script but only achieved an elative level a few times and once when it simply allows itself to be lyrical.

The context of "Asteroid City" reflects in its idea of reflexive personality. While its fuel comes from the itterance in many ways of director Wes Anderson's previous film "The French Dispatch", it does come off as a little more disjointed than the superior "The Grand Budapest Hotel". That said, all of Anderson's films are brilliant in many ways, even those that aren't exactly perfect.

The concept of adapting a classic animated film because it can sometimes is an exercise in understanding what the audience wants to see. But there are always sometimes cultural touchstones that walk the line. "Pinocchio" in theory is an interesting challenge and the person obviously well suited to the task is Robert Zemeckis.

The ideal of “Elvis” is based in the context of telling a story of progress and yet depth. Moving in with a sense of perspective, Baz Luhrmann's “Elvis” takes the approach of a man pushed by love, eventually enveloped by demons but with the relevance of a soul that changed perspectives.

Like their previous collaboration with "Captain Phillips", Hanks and director Paul Greengrass try to keep the action and journey as grounded as possible. With the exception of a few massive overhead CG shots, it keeps with them on the trail or over a fire. The movie has scope but it plays in intimate terms.
