All the Songs in the Tom Hanks Movie ‘Here’

“Here” is here.

And Robert Zemeckis’ latest technologically innovative drama stars his “Forrest Gump” team of Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, this time embodying a couple living in a house. The angle of the shot never changes – it’s inside the living of a stately home, as time unfolds (and sometimes bends) around Hanks and Wright’s characters. It’s sort of like Disney’s Carousel of Progress attraction – we watch as their relationships change, time changes, devices change – all from a fixed vantage point.

And as you can imagine, there’s a ton of music. There are hardly better indicators of where we are than what music is playing in the radio or out of somebody’s personal music player.

There’s also one great Zemeckis Easter egg for the fans – at one point, somebody leaves the television on. What’s playing? The Beatles’ monumental performance on Ed Sullivan’s show. It was the first time that Beatlemania had crashed on the shores of the United States. And it’s really something.

It was also the subject of Zemeckis’ first movie, “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” which followed a group of friends as they try to get into the taping of “The Ed Sullivan Show” where the Beatles are meant to perform. It’s a hoot and very much worth checking out if you haven’t seen it. It’s full of the charm, manic energy and visually dexterity that would come to define Zemeckis’ oeuvre. And it’s right there in his first movie!
